However, alongside the ascent of her empire comes a surge in adversaries, evident as Blanco faces mounting threats. A pivotal moment unfolds as a thwarted drug deal leads to a warning, "I'm gonna tell every dealer in Miami not to touch your coke."
The intensity escalates further as investigations point to Blanco as the mastermind behind the chaos. "One woman is behind all this. Pull the right card, the whole house comes down," a woman states, referring to the pivotal role Blanco plays in the intricate web of crime.
Undeterred by mounting challenges and relentless scrutiny, Blanco fiercely asserts, "After all that I have been through, I am not going to give it away for nothing. You wanna see how far I'll get?" The trailer aptly punctuates her multifaceted persona with titles describing her as queenpin, innovator, mother, and killer.
Crafted by Eric Newman, the visionary behind Narcos and Narcos: Mexico, and helmed by director Andres Baiz, the series spotlights Vergara not only as the titular character but also as an executive producer. Adding to the star-studded ensemble is Latin music sensation Carolina Giraldo portraying Carla, Blanco's trusted confidante.
