‘Griselda’ The new bet, directed by Colombian filmmaker Andrés Baiz, will hit Netflix screens on January 25.
A series that will take place between characters representing drug trafficking and that, so far in 2024, has managed to position itself prominently on the streaming platform.
This iconic production tells the life of Griselda Blanco, the famous Colombian drug trafficker recognized as the ‘Godmother of cocaine’. The series follows Griselda’s rise in the world of drug trafficking, exploring her influence on the business in the United States and Colombia.
Something that has raised questions among viewers who have already seen the trailer of the production that will hit the Netflix screen is the drastic physical change that the Barranquilla woman experienced to embody this character, appearing completely different and almost unrecognizable.

For the followers of the Colombian actress, it has been shocking to witness her transition from playing comedic roles to delving into, at 51 years old, in a more intense genre, less humorous and with a stronger personality.
In this series, the Barranquillera exhibits a strong character and presents a quite different appearance.
In the production images, Vergara sports a wavy hairstyle and wears a period costume that blends in with the historical setting of the story.
