Sofia Vergara to Star in Netflix's 'Griselda'

The actress, known for her role in 'Modern Family', takes on a starkly different character in the upcoming series based on the life of Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco.

Sofia Vergara, known for her role in 'Modern Family', is set to star in the upcoming Netflix miniseries 'Griselda', based on the life of Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco. The series is set to release on January 25, 2024.
Vergara's portrayal of Blanco is a stark contrast to her previous roles, with the actress stating that she was drawn to the story due to its representation of a powerful female character in a male-dominated field.
Vergara, who grew up in Colombia during the height of narco-trafficking, has personal connections to the subject matter, with her brother having been involved in the drug trade and subsequently killed.
Vergara's net worth is estimated to be around $180 million, with her earnings from 'Modern Family', her role as a judge on 'America's Got Talent', and various business ventures contributing to her wealth.
Despite the intense and violent nature of the series, Vergara has expressed pride in the production, which showcases Latino talent, and is ready to continue her career after building a decades-long presence in Hollywood.
