"Right now, pivotal world events happening all around us require context within the framework of history - and the recent news of drug lord El Chapo's escape is a prime example of that," said Kevin Bennett, EVP and general manager of American Heroes Channel. "In this heated environment where the search for Mexico's most prolific outlaw changes with each passing day, MANHUNT: KILL OR CAPTURErecounts in vivid detail how El Chapo and other legendary criminals rose to infamy with a reputation of running from the law, and at the expense of thousands of innocent lives."

Each one-hour episode of MANHUNT: KILL OR CAPTURE profiles the thrilling chase and ultimate takedown of a notorious criminal leader. With special access to in-depth interviews with the agents, policemen, intelligence agents and eye witnesses who brought these criminals to justice, viewers are given an inside look at how the complex operations were executed to bring down the world's most ruthless and elusive targets.

The premiere episode, airing Wednesday, August 12 at 10/9c, focuses on Colombian drug lord, Pablo Escobar. Backed up by an army of killers, Escobar dominated the infamous Medellin cocaine cartel and turned the Colombian nation into a living nightmare.
