The Mexican actress plays the character Teresa Mendoza: a woman of her same nationality of humble origins who became a legend of the drug trade. The first seasons on La Reina del Sur came out in 2011 and the second one came out in 2019.

Continuing the last episodes of the second season, which won an Emmy Award for Best Foreign Language Prime Time Series, season three of the thriller begins with Teresa serving a sentence in prison.
