For the first time, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gabriel García
Marquez
[[link removed]]’s
seminal 1967 novel _One Hundred Years Of Solitude_ is coming to the
screen. The Netflix
[[link removed]] adaptation
doesn’t yet have a release date (it’s set to premiere sometime in
2024), but a teaser released on Wednesday previews the story of the
Buendía dynasty. Directed by Alex García López and Laura Mora, the
series was filmed entirely in Spanish and largely in the writer’s
native Colombia, with the blessing and involvement of his family.

“Married against their parents’ wishes, cousins José Arcadio
Buendía and Úrsula Iguarán leave their village behind and embark on
a long journey in search of a new home,” reads the synopsis from
Netflix. “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.”

_One Hundred Years Of Solitude_ will be told in 16 installments, a
hefty episode order for Netflix. But the longer format is what
convinced the author’s family to sign off on the project, according
to his son Rodrigo García (who is an executive producer on the
project alongside his brother Gonzalo García Barcha). “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,” Rodrigo said in a
statement when the series was announced in 2019

“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.”

_One Hundred Years Of Solitude _is written by José Rivera, Natalia
Santa, Camila Brugés, María Camila Arias, and Albatrós González.
The series stars Claudio Cataño (Colonel Aureliano Buendía adult),
Jerónimo Barón (Aureliano Buendía child), Marco González (Jose
Arcadio Buendía), Leonardo Soto (José Arcadio son), Susana Morales
(Úrsula Iguarán), Ella Becerra (Petronila), Carlos Suaréz
(Aureliano Iguarán), Moreno Borja (Melquiades), Santiago Vásquez
(Aureliano Buendía adolescent).
