Sofía Vergara is The Godmother of the cocaine drug trade in Netflix‘s upcoming limited drama series Griselda, set to premiere globally on Thursday, January 25, 2024.

The streamer has dropped the official trailer (watch below) for the highly-anticipated cartel drama, which comes from the creators and executive producers of Narcos and Narcos: Mexico, Eric Newman and Andrés Baiz.

In the clip, we see Vergara’s Griselda Blanco rise from mother to drug lord as she takes over the Miami cocaine business, using her charm and savagery to create one of the most profitable cartels in history. We see her navigating business and family, using a mix of charm and violence; in one scene, she beats a man with a baseball bat.

The series is inspired by the real life of Griselda Blanco, a Colombian drug lord who was a central figure in the cocaine-based drug trade in Miami, Florida, during the 1970s through the early 2000s. Recognized for her ambition and savviness, Blanco became widely known as “The Black Widow” and “The Godmother.”

Netflix has also released a collection of new images, including a first look at singer Karol G (Carolina Giraldo) as Carla, a close friend of Griselda’s from Medellín who arrives in Miami alongside several other sex workers to help smuggle in drugs. Along the way, Carla becomes one of Griselda’s most trusted confidants.
