Netflix is adapting One Hundred Years of Solitude and the first trailer grabbed me
Netflix has dropped the first trailer for its film adaptation One hundred years of loneliness, which is based on the best-selling novel by Nobel Prize winner Gabriel García Márquez, and I’m so excited to be drawn into the mythical city and all the magical elements that come with it.
This looks like another great series for one of the top streaming services, having also recently announced a new Harlan Coben thriller I miss you. The first part of One hundred years of loneliness will be released on December 11 and part two will follow in due course.
Watch the trailer below.
What do we know about One Hundred Years of Solitude?
One hundred years of loneliness consists of eight episodes, all of which will be released on December 11. So if you fancy a binge watching session, you can watch them all from then on.
According to Tudum“The story follows cousins José and Úrsula, who marry against the wishes of their parents and leave their village to embark on a long journey in search of a new home. Accompanied by friends and adventurers, their journey culminates with the creation of a utopian city on the banks of a river of prehistoric stones that they baptize Macondo.
“Several generations of the Buendía line will shape the future of this mythical city, tormented by madness, impossible loves, a bloody and absurd war and a terrible curse that condemns them, without hope, to 100 years of loneliness.”
The adaptation is “one of the most ambitious productions in Latin American history”, where it was filmed in Spanish and shot in García Márquez’s native Colombia with the support of the author’s family.
