Netflix has set the global premiere date for Part One of the highly-anticipated, epic period drama One Hundred Years of Solitude.
Netflix will launch One Hundred Years of Solitude in two parts of eight episodes each. The first installment will premiere globally on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, exclusively on Netflix. (You can set a reminder for it now.) The date for the second installment hasn’t been announced yet.
The series is based on the acclaimed novel One Hundred Years of Solitude, a masterpiece of Spanish-American and universal literature by Gabriel García Márquez, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. Published in 1967, the novel has sold more than 50 million copies and has been translated into more than 40 languages.
In the story that spans decades, cousins José Arcadio Buendía and Úrsula Iguarán, married against their parents’ wishes, leave their village behind and embark on a long journey in search of a new home. Accompanied by friends and adventurers, their journey culminates with the founding of a utopian town on the banks of a river of prehistoric stones that they baptize Macondo. Several generations of the Buendía lineage will mark the future of this mythical town, tormented by madness, impossible loves, a bloody and absurd war, and the fear of a terrible curse that condemns them, without hope, to one hundred years of solitude.
The cast of One Hundred Years of Solitude includes Eduardo De Los Reyes (Los Farad), Claudio Cataño (Cochina Envidia), and Jerónimo Barón (Primate), amongst others.
Filmed entirely in Colombia, with the support of the Nobel laureate’s family, the series is directed by Alex García López (The Witcher) and Laura Mora (The Kings of the World), and written by José Rivera (The Motorcycle Diaries), Natalia Santa (The Great Heist), Camila Brugés (Secrets of Paradise), and Albatros González (Operación Pacífico).
One Hundred Years of Solitude is a production of Dynamo (Wild District). The Executive Producers are Diego Ramírez Schrempp, Juliana Flórez Luna, Andrés Calderón, Josep Amorós, Carolina Caicedo, Alex García López, Laura Mora, José Rivera, Rodrigo García, and Gonzalo García Barch.
