Sicario Movies: Release Order
The Sicario series follows a continuous narrative exploring the dark complexities of the U.S.-Mexico drug war, written by Taylor Sheridan and featuring recurring characters across interconnected stories. The series begins with FBI agent Kate Macer's introduction to covert operations, then shifts focus to the ongoing partnership between CIA operative Matt Graver and the enigmatic Alejandro Gillick.
This watch order presents the films in their intended sequence, with Day of the Soldado directly continuing the story from the first film. Note that several unrelated films exist with "Sicario" in the title (such as American Sicario and Night of the Sicario), but these are separate productions with no connection to this main series. A third installment is currently in development.
