Netflix's Griselda is one of the best hits of 2024 so far, and there's a good reason that the show is breaking ground. Fans and critics alike have sung praises for the six-episode limited series.
The biographical crime drama tells the story of The Cocaine Godmother Griselda Blanco, who ruled the Miami underworld in the '70s and '80s and helped establish cocaine trade links between Colombia and the United States.
Sofia Vergara's role as the titular character is highly praised, and many want more to do with this crime drama. While we may not get more Griselda, there are several shows to watch that are similar to the series.

Weeds is a funnier, lower-stakes version of Griselda, in a way. Hard times drive Nancy Botwin (Mary-Lousie Parker) into the marijuana trade. A widowed mother of two boys, this mom is willing to do anything for her family.

It’s go time for the Teen Titans.
The DC heroes, which began as the teenaged sidekicks of their more famous and iconic counterparts, are getting their own live-action feature from the James Gunn and Peter Safran-led DC Studios.
The comic book movie division of Warner Bros. Discovery has tapped Ana Nogueira to pen the screenplay for the project. The hiring further ensconces the actress and playwright-turned scribe into the DC family as she is already writing Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow for the label.
The Teen Titans were first introduced in the mid-1960s and featured Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad as well as Wonder Girl. Other teens such as Speedy, the sidekick to Green Arrow, joined the adventures later. The comics skewed young and were not considered major sellers until the 1980s relaunch by Marv Wolfman and George Perez.

Starz hasn’t offered this deal since August of 2023, and it’s not likely to stick around for long!
This particular moment in time is a tricky one to be searching for a new streaming platform. The NFL season is over, so subscribing to a service that carries NFL games won’t bring any extra value until September. Scripted TV series are still making their way back to airwaves after the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, so there are few marquee titles that will draw fans to one streamer over another.
Fortunately, Starz is offering a fantastic incentive to potential subscribers on the hunt for a new favorite show: 70% off your subscription for three months! That will drop the price of a Starz subscription to $2.99 per month, and you’ll stay at that price for the next 90 days.

The crime drama TV series ‘Hightown”, created by Rebecca Cutter, is now airing Season 3 on Starz:
“…’Fishery Service Agent’ ‘Jackie Quiñones’ is off the wagon and off the force in the final season, but that doesn’t stop her from careening into the dark underbelly of picture-perfect Cape Cod to save a missing woman and a murdered woman.
“Meanwhile, her former colleagues ‘Ray Abruzzo’ and ‘Alan Santille’ are focused on taking down drug syndicates, but despite their best efforts, the drugs keep flowing. This attracts ‘Shane Frawley’, a gangster from Boston looking to cut himself in on the Cape’s drug trade — and making an enemy of ‘Osito’ while he’s at it.
“Alliances are made and old loyalties are questioned in this beautiful but corrupt place where nothing is as it seems.”

Bottom Dollar is closing shop.
Starz has opted to cancel Minx, the comedy about the first porn magazine for women, after a two-season run. The news comes after the series from creator Ellen Rapoport was originally developed for Warner Bros. Discovery streamer Max, which aired the first season and paid for a second before ultimately scrapping the show as a tax write-off with mere days remaining before production on the sophomore run was completed.
Minx was shopped by producers Lionsgate Television with the studio ultimately setting up the comedy starring Jake Johnson and Ophelia Lovibond at Starz, which is currently controlled by its parent company, Lionsgate. Max effectively paid to produce season two, with Lionsgate footing the bill to complete production and market season two. The second season premiered in July, in the thick of the writers and performers’ strikes making it challenging for cast members and producers to promote the show’s return.
