Griselda, a series based on the life of notorious cocaine trafficker Griselda Blanco is soon coming to Netflix.

Netflix notes that Griselda is a “fictionalised” version of events, imagining how the so-called Godmother held a tight grip on her illegal trade through a “lethal blend of unsuspected savagery and charm”.
The action takes place in Miami during the 1970s and ’80s, where Griselda established a major drug trafficking operation that sparked a brutal and bloody gang war in the city.
