“I
think
watching
this
series,
you
will
see
we
are
all
pushing
our
own
kind
of
product…but
what
she
[Griselda]
also
had
was
determination
and
passion
and
commitment
to
what
it
was
she
was
doing,”
said
Young
while
introducing
the
first
episode.
“And
she
did
it
against
all
odds.
And
she
did
it
in
a
world
that
was
dominated
by
men.”
Following
the
screening,
guests
enjoyed
a
private
reception
with
flowing
themed
cocktails,
delicious
eats,
and
lavish
vibes
at
Rumi’s
Kitchen
in
midtown.

Griselda
is
inspired
by
the
life
of
the
savvy
and
ambitious
Griselda
Blanco
who
created
one
of
the
most
profitable
cartels
in
history.
In
late
’80s
Miami,
Blanco’s
lethal
blend
of
savagery
and
charm
helped
her
expertly
navigate
between
business
and
family
leading
her
to
become
widely
known
as
“the
Godmother.”
Check
out
the
trailer
below:
Starring
and
executive
produced
by
an
unrecognizable
Sofia
Vergara,
Griselda
is
created
by
Narcos
and
Narcos:
Mexico
showrunner
Eric
Newman
alongside
Narcos
director
Andrés
Baiz
who

Christian
Tappan,
Martín
Rodríguez,

Martinez,
Vanessa
Ferlito,
and
Karol
G
making
her
on
screen
debut.
Griselda
premieres
Jan.
25
on
Netflix
but,
until
then,
you
can
witness
Vergara’s
incredible
transformation
into
Griselda
Blanco
in
the
featurette
below:
“I
had
an
incredible
hair
and
makeup
design
team
that
did
an
amazing
job
creating
this
character
who
was
in
the
world
of
Miami
in
the
‘70s
and
‘80s,”
she
said.
“Getting
the
look
correct
was
very
important
to
me
because
I
needed
to
disappear.
I
wanted
no
one
to
think
of
me
or
my
last
role
as
Gloria
Pritchett.
I
wanted
to
get
inside
Griselda’s
head
and
really
understand
her
mentality,
where
she
was
coming
from.”
