The series, consisting of two parts of eight episodes each, will debut its first installment on December 11th, 2024.

Based on the masterpiece by Gabriel Garc a M rquez, and directed by Laura Mora and Alex Garc a L pez, One Hundred Years of Solitude represents one of the most ambitious audiovisual projects in Latin American history. The series was filmed entirely in Colombia, with the support of the Nobel laureates family.

In the words of the directors:

As a filmmaker, and as a Colombian, it has been an honor and a huge challenge to work on a project as complex and that carries as much responsibility as One Hundred Years of Solitude, always striving to understand the difference between the literary and audiovisual languages and to be able to construct images that contain the beauty, poetry and depth of a work that has impacted the entire world. Weve done it with love and respect for the novel, with the support of an exceptional technical and human team. - Laura Mora

Directing this project has been both a challenge and an adventure; after all, in life, taking risks is necessary to give meaning to what we do. When diving into the adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude, my intention was to create something authentic that carries the stature of an international production, because the story deserves it. - Alex Garc a L pez

About One Hundred Years of Solitude:

Married against their parents wishes, cousins Jos Arcadio Buend a and rsula Iguar n 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 Buend a 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.

Published in 1967, One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of the emblematic works of Gabriel Garc a M rquez, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. Considered a masterpiece of Spanish-American and universal literature and receiving enormous popular acclaim, it has sold more than 50 million copies and has been translated into more than 40 languages.
