Griselda became the series of the moment on Netflix. Although it is about a powerful Colombian criminal whose name caught on both in the country and in the United States, where she committed crimes, it is not only in those two territories where the production has achieved fame during the first five days after its premiere.

Apart from those mentioned, it was placed in the first step in a total of 80 countries, but its success did not reach there, but rather it is in the top 10 of another ten.

It is worth mentioning that the show was not only starring Sofía Vergara, but the Barranquilla native also produced it in the executive part, so the success is directly beneficial for her, as well as for Luis Balaguer, co-president of LatinWE along with the Atlantic native. for Eric Newman, genius behind Grand Electric.

The installment consists of six episodes with a duration of approximately one hour each. The launch of a second season is not estimated, as it was prepared to be a limited mini-series.

Regarding her preparation for the role, Vergara highlighted that it is the first drama she has starred in, so it represented quite a challenge for her. In turn, she had to be made up in great detail in order to transform her entire physical appearance.

“I was not prepared for what my body was going to feel after spending a day where they were hanging me, killing me, murdering me, screaming, crying, fighting, smoking, which I had never done in my life. There were a thousand things. I mean, it was using prosthetics that I had never used either, acting in Spanish that I hadn’t really done, but it was fascinating for me. And above all, one of the things why I did ‘Griselda’ was to find a role that I could play and that I knew because I lived in Colombia at that time and I know what drug trafficking was. But also, being able to make a production of that level with Netflix and being able to have a casting of actors that I adore, that I always wanted to work with, that I feel are some of the best actors that we have in Latin America,” said the Barranquilla native about the program. .

He also intends to make the series a crop of Colombian talent for export. “I dream that after all this tour and the people, if they like Griselda, one of those actors can be as lucky as I was and be Griselda like my Modern Family. May the life change for some of those actors who want to enter Hollywood and be able to do what I have achieved,” concluded the actress from La Arenosa. With Infobae
