She captioned the rare glimpse of her latest project with "Set life," revealing that what she is working on is titled Griselda.

Griselda is a new mini series, still in the process of filming, though it's set to depict the life of Griselda Blanco, also known as the Black Widow, who was a Colombian drug lady of the Medellín Cartel.
