“Griselda” stars and executive produced by Vergara, and created by Narcos and Narcos: Mexico showrunner Eric Newman. It is directed by Narcos’ Andrés Baiz, who helmed all six episodes. 

The series is co-created by Doug Miro, Ingrid Escajeda and Carlo Bernard, and executive produced by Newman, Miro, Escajeda, Bernard, along with Vergara and Luis Balaguer with Latin World Entertainment. 

In addition to Vergara, the series stars Alberto Guerra, Christian Tappan, Martín Rodríguez, Juliana Aidén Martinez, Vanessa Ferlito and, making her on screen debut, Carolina Giraldo (a.k.a Karol G).
