“Griselda” star Martín Rodríguez has joined the cast of Netflix’s “El Marginal” spinoff “En el barro.”

Argentine TV series “El Marginal” ran from 2016-2022 and is still available on Netflix. It tells the story of undercover cop Pastor (Juan Minujin) who infilitrates a prison while investigating a kidnapping, where he runs into a group of inmates led by the Borges brothers (Nicolás Furtado and Claudio Rissi).
