Since the success of “La Reina del Sur” starring Kate del Castillo, TV stations, especially Telemundo, Univisión and others from Colombia and Venezuela, have given more space to stories of drug traffickers with central female characters.

According to the sources close to Kate quoted by TMZ, “unbeknownst to her, Sean approached Rolling Stone Editor Jann Wenner, told him about the El Chapo meeting and got a green light to write the story for the magazine.”
