Season 1 (2013)

Main article: List of El Señor de los Cielos episodes § Season 1 (2013)

El Señor de los Cielos is a fictional story filled with action, emotion, unbridled passions, luxuries, misery, intrigue, and suspense. Inspired by true events, the series chronicles the life of Aurelio Casillas, the biggest drug lord[clarification needed] in Mexico during the 1990s, whose great ambition was to become the most rich and powerful man in Mexico and its surroundings. From the time his photograph was first publicized, his face became his worst obstacle; justice and his enemies began to haunt him, and for this reason he underwent plastic surgery.

Season 2 (2014)

Main article: El Señor de los Cielos (season 2)

When the world thought Aurelio Casillas had died trying to change his face, El Señor de los Cielos was already a legend. However, he returned from the shadows to eliminate his enemies, and without obstacles, to extend his narcotics network worldwide.

Season 3 (2015)

Main article: El Señor de los Cielos (season 3)

El Señor de los Cielos is imprisoned in a bunker of the Mexican Navy. He has spent months locked in a cell without knowing if it is day or night, withstanding the hard punishment of torturers who seek out the names and whereabouts of his accomplices. But Aurelio has not opened his mouth, because his real pain was not felt in the blows to his body, but on the inside, in his conscience, after having lost his freedom, his empire, the life of Heriberto, his eldest son, the love of his daughter, Rutila, His lover Mónica Robles, and all the women who loved him.

Season 4 (2016)

Main article: El Señor de los Cielos (season 4)

Aurelio Casillas, associated with political strategists, has successfully placed a puppet of his allies in the chair of Pines, finally reaching the site both craved: the summit of power. But this season will not be the law but its own body that will put limits to their aspirations. A hard kidney disease will force people to use their blood to find a donor for transplant necessary life-saving. Finding no support for any of his close relatives, Aurelio will use this long record of amorous conquests that left scattered over the world, looking for a lost son who can be his salvation.
