Entertainment Weekly has released sneak-peak photos of Griselda, the upcoming limited series starring Sofia Vergara as Griselda Blanco. The crime drama is scheduled to premiere on Netflix in January 2024.
The photos feature Vergara as Blanco, a Colombian woman who became one of the most notorious figures in the drug trade during the 1970s and 1980s in Miami, Florida. The series will follow Blanco’s life, from being a young mother to transforming into a ruthless drug lord.
