Who Is in the Cast of Griselda? - Netflix Tudum
- Sofía Vergara, Karol G, Alberto Guerra, and more star in the limited series.Feb. 6, 2024
It’s not all laughs for Sofía Vergara in Griselda.
Beneath the glitz and glamour of ’70s and ’80s Miami lies a much darker side — and an antihero playing a dangerous game. Inspired by a true story, the limited series from creators Eric Newman and Andrés Baiz follows Griselda Blanco (Vergara, who also serves as executive producer), an ambitious business woman and devoted mother who’s responsible for creating one of the most profitable cartels in history. With her lethal blend of savagery and charm, Griselda navigates business and family as she rises to the top of the industry, earning the title of “the Godmother.”
Available to stream on Netflix now, Griselda reunites the team behind Narcos and Narcos: Mexico, including Newman, Baiz, Doug Miro, Ingrid Escajeda, and Carlo Bernard, who all serve as executive producers, alongside Vergara and Luis Balaguer with Latin World Entertainment. Griselda Blanco is a boss in every lane, and you can learn more about the family members, confidants, and dealers she takes along for the ride below.
Sofía Vergara
Griselda is a devoted mother, ambitious businesswoman, and ruthless cartel leader who seeks to build a new life for her family in Miami — but at what cost?
“Sofia’s a force of nature, and there is no doubt in my mind that whatever she sets her mind to, she can accomplish,” says Newman. “She was perfect for the role –– not only because she, like Griselda, is a single mother who came to America from Colombia with nothing and built an empire –– but because it was unexpected of her to do [so]. Sofía has been thought of one way –– a beautiful and brilliant comedic actress –– and she is so much more than that.”
