People are no strangers to the infamous name Pablo Escobar. The former drug kingpin ran one of the largest and most terrifying empires in the 1980s and 1990s. His controversial life has inspired multiple documentaries and even several series, including the Netflix crime drama Narcos, which chronicled his rise and fall. Another recent project to shine a light on someone closely related to his story is IMPACT x Nightline: Raised By Killers: Growing Up Escobar. 

The investigative report explores the life of Pablo Escobar’s son and what it was like growing up among hitmen pretending to be nannies.

ABC News Studios’ IMPACT x Nightline is a weekly streaming news magazine that features investigative stories focused on major social issues. Its newest edition explores the story of Pablo Escobar’s son and his life growing up in Colombia under the shadow of his father’s criminal empire. 

This edition will look into his childhood, where hitmen were part of his everyday life as teachers, mentors, friends, and even extended family. It will also explore his life now as he continues to make amends for his family's past. After the death of his father, Juan Pablo Escobar Henao and his family moved to Argentina, where he later changed his name to Sebastián Marroquín.

This special, which premiered on May 7, 2026, is available to stream on Disney+ and Hulu. The latest edition also features interviews with Sebastián Marroquín as well as John Leguizamo, who stars in Dear Killer Nannies, Dear Killer Nannies co-creator Sebastián Ortega; the show’s showrunner; and Sins of My Father director Nicolas Entel.

Apart from IMPACT x Nightline – Raised By Killers: Growing Up Escobar, Hulu also hosts the series Dear Killer Nannies.

Dear Killer Nannies is a series inspired by the life of Sebastián Marroquín, the son of infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar. Unlike other dramas which focus on Escobar's life and profession, the show focuses on Sebastián’s childhood and the emotional trauma of growing up surrounded by violence. It explores how he slowly realized that his father was one of the world’s most feared criminals.

“Our focus wasn’t on drug trafficking; it was on this kid. It’s not about Pablo Escobar – it’s about his son. He’s slowly realizing that what he thinks is normal really isn’t, and that his dad is one of the worst criminals in the world. Imagine realizing your dad is Pablo Escobar. It’s so bizarre!” Sebastián Ortega said.

The series also highlights his struggle with guilt, fear, and the burden of carrying the Escobar name after his father’s death. Co-created by Sebastián Ortega, the show presents the story through the eyes of a child rather than glorifying the drug trade. John Leguizamo stars as Pablo Escobar in the emotional Disney+ and Hulu drama.
