The Gringo Hunters is a new crime thriller series that offers something different from the usual. While most thrillers focus on the U.S. chasing fugitives, this show flips the script. It tells the story of a real police unit in Mexico whose only job is to find and bring back American criminals hiding across the border.
Yes, you read it right. These Gringo Hunters are the federal police of Mexico, and the assignment sounds about as intense as it is placed. With fugitives trying to disappear into cities like Tijuana or Mexico City, the pressure’s on. This unit doesn’t just hunt them—they catch them, making sure justice is served.
All set to be released on Netflix on July 9, 2025, this series will offer something fresh to entertain crime drama lovers. The show is built on a revealing article by journalist Kevin Sieff, published in The Washington Post, and dramatizes real events.

In a time when crime thrillers are everywhere, The Gringo Hunters manages to carve a unique space. It not only puts Mexico at the center of the action but does so with a fresh storyline based on true events. Harold Torres, known for ZeroZeroZero, plays the lead role and brings depth to the character. Mayra Hermosillo joins him from Thursday’s Widows, who plays Gloria, adding strength and sensitivity to the cast.
The ensemble cast also features Manuel Masalva, Sebastian Roché, Jessica Lindsey, Tyler Young, José María Yazpik, and more. The directors’ lineup is just as impressive—Adrián Grunberg, Natalia Beristain, Jimena Montemayor, and Alonso Álvarez share the director’s chair.
Behind the scenes, big names like Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, and Tony Hernandez are attached as executive producers. Production is handled by Woo Films, Redrum, and Imagine Entertainment, with both Netflix and The Washington Post closely involved.
This series promises action, emotion, and suspense within a very concrete setting. If you love cop stories, international thrillers, or true-crime stories, The Gringo Hunters probably gripped you with the very first episode.
