Netflix announced the development of a new limited drama series titled Griselda.
Blanco was a pivotal character in the history of the drug trade, stretching from Colombia through Miami, New York, and California. Blanco, at her peak and renown, was one of the world’s richest and most deadly women, as well as one of the world’s foremost drug kingpins.
She became the first female billionaire criminal. Her story was adapted into several documentaries, television shows, films, and songs, as well as several planned projects. Blanco will be played by Colombian-American actress Sofia Vergara in the upcoming Netflix limited series Griselda, which was announced in November 2021.
Filming could well have begun as early as 2021, or it could begin in early 2022 and extend until the summer of 2022. We could confirm, though, that filming will take place in Los Angeles and Miami.
