  Griselda Blanco: The Black Widow, also known as 'La Viuda Negra', focuses on the life of Griselda Blanco, a notorious Colombian drug lord who operated in the Miami drug trade during the 1970s and 1980s. She was a key figure in the early cocaine wars and known for her ruthless nature. The series stars Ana Serradilla as Griselda, portraying her rise to power in a male-dominated world of crime. It explores her personal life, her many marriages (and the fates of her husbands, hence 'Black Widow'), and her brutal business practices. It offers a different perspective by focusing on one of the few prominent female figures in this history, highlighting her significant, violent impact on the drug world.
