What intrigued you about this Gala Film shortform series?
Honestly, it was the idea of finally being able to work within this format, with such phenomenal directors, as well as talent. I’ve always wanted to play a character as tough as Detective Thompson. She’s someone who has risen within the ranks due to her intelligence and an ability that matches that of a hacker named Grimm (played by show creator David Bianchi).
Was preparation for this different from your other TV work?
Definitely. This felt more similar to a film set. I have to immediately refer to Bianchi, because he really set the tone. Having a creative that’s not just your writer, but also wearing many other hats, it’s a true testament to their ability when they can pull something off like this within such a short period of time. From the word go, we had...

David Bianchi and Alejandro Barrios are set to recur opposite Alice Braga in the upcoming fourth season of USA Network’s Queen of the South, from Fox 21 TV Studios and Ucp.
Queen of the South is based on the bestselling book La Reina del Sur by Arturo Pérez-Reverte.

That was the lowest per-capita number of any monitored country in Ifpi’s annual report — beneath the likes of China, the Philippines,...
