The American telenovela 'El Señor de los Cielos', in English 'Lord of the Skies,' will return tonight for its eighth season. The show, created by Luis Zelkowicz, is based on the life of Amado Carrillo Fuentes, the former leader of the Juarez Cartel.

In Season 7, we saw how Amado Leal (Matías Novoa) turns himself in to the Secretary of Security of Mexico to avoid being captured by the American Justice, but the DEA and CIA won't leave him in peace.

Meanwhile, the Casillas cartel tries to rescue him and a risky procedure is attempted to revive Aurelio (Rafael Amaya). And with the tagline "legends never die," Amaya will be back and more determined than ever to recover all he has lost.
