The series consists of 52 one-hour episodes, divided into 3 seasons, which were filmed consecutively. The first season tells about Óscar Naranjo's beginnings in the Police and focuses on the fight against the Medellín cartel. The second season focuses on how he was ascending in the police institution, and the entire strategy to catch the drug traffickers of the Cali and Norte del Valle cartels, who kept a lower profile and were much smarter and less impulsive. While the third season continues the conflict with the FARC and with the paramilitaries, and the role of Naranjo in the peace agreement.
In Colombia, the series premiered on 15 April 2020 on Caracol Televisión, broadcasting the first two seasons consecutively from Monday to Friday.{{cite web |title='La venganza de Analía' y 'El general Naranjo', el plan a partir de esta noche en el Canal Caracol |url=https://noticias.caracoltv.com/entretenimiento/la-venganza-de-analia-y-el-general-naranjo-el-plan-partir-de-esta-noche-en-el-canal-caracol-nid226426 |website=noticias.caracoltv.com |date=15 April 2020 |accessdate=4 May 2020 |language=Spanish}}
