Bandidos Season 2 Cast Guide: Every Main Actor
Alfonso Dosal - Miguel
After leading the cast of Bandidos Season 1, Alfonso Dosal returns to portray Miguel, the group's de facto leader, who is an expert thief and con man. Season 1 ended with Miguel managing to outsmart everyone by faking Lili's death so that she can escape the dangerous mafia that has been chasing her.
Bandidos Season 2 begins as Miguel and Lili live their own version of happily ever after, but things take a turn for the worse after Lili receives an anonymous text showing her ex-boyfriend being held captive.
After Lili abandons him to go find her estranged sister, who is behind her ex-boyfriend's abduction, Miguel reunites with the others to come clean about Lili's fate while also telling them everything he knows about the Tear of Fire (aka the huge diamond that was lost in Moctezuma).
Dosal is best known for his roles in The Chosen One, Para Volver a Amar, and Un Actor Malo.

Ester Expósito - Lilí
A good chunk of Bandidos Season 2's story revolves around Ester Expósito's Lili.

In Season 2, Lili's peaceful life takes a drastic turn after her estranged sister, Regina, kidnaps her ex-boyfriend, Leo, as a way to bring her out in the open. Lili's backstory is further fleshed out in the show's second season, chronicling the fact that she was adopted and she was blamed for murdering her father.
It was revealed that Regina was the one who had killed their father. She pinned the blame on Lili, which is why she ended up with a miserable life.
