Netflix’s ‘Griselda’ Trailer Reveals Sofia Vergara’s Astonishing Transformation.

You can start streaming the series on January 25th.

Over the years, Sofia Vergara has won our hearts with her distinctive style and vibrant personality, both on the red carpet and as Gloria in the beloved sitcom Modern Family. However, in her upcoming Netflix series, “Griselda,” Vergara takes on a completely different role, portraying the notorious 1980s Miami drug cartel leader Griselda Blanco.

Netflix has just unveiled its latest trailer for the series, set to premiere on January 25th, showcasing Griselda’s journey to becoming the notorious “Godmother” of the era. The trailer opens in a courtroom, where a woman asserts that Griselda has dominated Miami’s drug trade for the past three years, while a man adds that Ms. Blanco’s operation has been ruthlessly efficient and remarkably successful.

Sofia Vergara’s dramatic transformation in “Griselda” is truly astonishing, achieved through the skilled application of makeup, prosthetics, intricate hairstyles, and authentic costumes. The preview delves into the rise of the Colombian drug lord, depicting her relocation to Miami in 1978 with her sons. As she delves deeper into the cocaine trade, the trailer unfolds with scenes of chaos, including gunfights, stacks of money, wild parties, and more. Towards the trailer’s conclusion, the words “queenpin,” ‘innovator,” “mother,” and “killer” flash across the screen, culminating in Griselda’s confident entrance into a building, accompanied by a woman’s remark about her boss-like demeanor. Adding to the cast, Latin star Karol G takes on the role of Carla, one of Griselda’s closest friends and confidants.

Sofia Vergara, who doubles as an executive producer on the project, commented, “Griselda Blanco was a captivating figure, employing both ruthless and clever strategies to establish a billion-dollar empire long before many of the infamous male kingpins we’re familiar with.” You can catch “Griselda” on Netflix starting January 25th.
