"She had collected tons of images and stories and people who knew [Griselda Blanco]," Newman tells EW. "And she had really gone deep on someone who felt the pressure that she felt. I think that she really understood what it was like.
Director Andrés Baiz recognized Vergara's drive to show off her dramatic chops. "This was a chance to reinvent herself and step out of her comfort zone, which was very brave of her," thedirector tells EW. "She knew she had to dive in completely into this role and feel insecure and afraid, but she knew that all she had was her work, that she had to push herself to the limit."Baiz met with Vergara at her house multiple times a week to flesh out her character.

"Based on [Vergara's] commitment and passion for it, I felt like it was something that went beyond, that while it was an evolutionary cousin of sorts… this felt like a great transition away from these characters like Guyardo and Escobar who are complicated, certainly, but don't have the same level of complexity that Griselda has," Newman says.
