Netflix’s ‘Griselda’ dramatizes the rise of Miami drug lord Griselda Blanco — who was also a mother to four young sons. Here’s what happened to Griselda Blanco’s kids since the events of the new limited series.

Michael Corleone Blanco previously explored his mother’s legacy on a VH1 reality show.
Netflix’s Griselda may come from the team that made Narcos and Narcos: Mexico, but it stands out in a few key ways. It highlights a notorious drug lord who was not only a woman but a mother to four young sons during the rise of her cocaine empire in 1970s and ‘80s Miami.
This partly drew Sofía Vergara to the series, where she stars and serves as executive producer. “I am Colombian. I am a mother. I’m an immigrant. I was fascinated, because I grew up in Colombia in this era, and I never heard about a woman that was a head of a cartel,” she told Entertainment Tonight.
Unsurprisingly, Blanco’s four sons — Dixon, Osvaldo, Uber, and Michael Corleone — were all affected by their mother’s life of crime.
