Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude is being adapted into a Spanish-language series by Netflix. For all the details about the upcoming adaptation of this classic novel, here’s what we know about the One Hundred Years of Solitude Netflix TV Series:
What’s it about? What’s the plot?
Originally published in 1967, One Hundred Years of Solitude tells the multi-generational story of the Buendía family, whose patriarch, José Arcadio Buendía, founded the (fictitious) town of Macondo.
What format will it be? Will the One Hundred Years of Solitude adaptation be a Movie or a Series?
It’s planned as a feature movie. Netflix has stated that the film will be in Spanish, and it will be filmed in Colombia.
Who’s behind it?
Netflix is developing the One Hundred Years of Solitude adaptation, which is planned as a Spanish-language series. The book has not been previously adapted before.
From the author’s estate: “For decades, our father was reluctant to sell the film rights to Cien Años de Soledad because he believed that it could not be made under the time constraints of a feature film, or that producing it in a language other than Spanish would not do it justice.
But in the current golden age of series, with the level of talented writing and directing, the cinematic quality of content, and the acceptance by worldwide audiences of programs in foreign languages, the time could not be better to bring an adaptation to the extraordinary global viewership that Netflix provides. We are excited to support Netflix and the filmmakers in this venture, and eager to see the final product.”
