    Actress Sofía Vergara is ready to tackle the role of Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco in the upcoming Netflix series Griselda, despite the ongoing debate about the portrayal of drug cartel stories in Hollywood. In an interview with Vogue Mexico, Vergara expressed her willingness to address this controversial topic, emphasizing that it is an integral part of her country’s history. Growing up in Colombia during the height of the drug trafficking era, Vergara understands the significance of shedding light on this dark period. She believes that Colombia’s progress stems from acknowledging and learning from its past.

    Vergara’s interest in portraying Blanco goes beyond simply playing a drug lord. She aims to showcase the complexities of the character, highlighting Blanco’s roles as a mother, a wife, and a “monster” in her own right. This multifaceted portrayal allows viewers to understand the full scope of Blanco’s life.

    Moreover, Vergara is committed to making Griselda stand out from other shows centered around drug trafficking. While the series revolves around this world, Vergara wants to delve deeper into the story, exploring the transformative journey of Griselda within such a horrific industry. It is not solely about depicting drug trafficking; it is about capturing the essence of the woman involved.

    Griselda is set to premiere on Netflix on January 25, 2024. In the meantime, you can catch a glimpse of the show in the teaser trailer featuring Sofia Vergara below.
