“Following the reception from our members and specialized press from all around the world, we are deeply proud to announce that the production of the second part has begun. With this series we pay tribute to the legacy of Gabriel García Márquez and to Colombia and its extraordinary talent,” Francisco Ramos, Netflix’s Vice President of Content for Latin America said. “I express my appreciation for Laura Mora’s work, whose rigor and passion have been fundamental in this journey, and who is now joined by Carlos Moreno, a remarkable Colombian filmmaker and Netflix partner. We are in the best hands to carry the Buendia’s story to a successful conclusion.”
One Hundred Years of Solitude begins with cousins José Arcadio Buendía and Úrsula Iguarán, who marry against their parent’s wishes and leave their town in search of a new home. Together they’ll start a new town, Macondo, on the banks of a river of prehistoric stones. The book then proceeds to tell the story of seven generations of the same family, their isolation, their loves, and the terrible curse that has doomed them, without any hope of salvation, to one hundred years of loneliness.
The book, published in 1967, has sold more than 50 million copies and has been translated into more than 40 languages.
