Production

[edit]

Netflix acquired the rights to One Hundred Years of Solitude in 2019.[1] Prior to author Gabriel García Márquez's death in 2014, he had refused to sell the rights to the novel as he didn't believe the time constraints of a film were sufficient for an adaptation.[2] The series was filmed with the support of García Márquez's family, who requested that it be shot in Colombia, with Colombian actors, and in Spanish.[3]

The series was filmed entirely in Colombia,[4][5] specifically in La Guajira, Magdalena, Cesar, Cundinamarca, and Tolima.[6] Filming took place from May to December 2023.[7] The fictional town of Macondo was built near Ibagué.[8][9] Four versions of the town were built to show the passage of time as the series progresses.[7]

Release

[edit]

A teaser trailer for the series was released on 17 April 2024.[10][11] The first season will be released on Netflix on 11 December 2024.[12]
