Netflix now has the right to adapt the novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude, as a series. It will be a Spanish-language original based on the novel. Gabriel Marquez’s sons, Rodrigo and Gonzalo are going to be the executive producers and it will be filmed in Colombia. The brothers say their father was hesitant about selling the rights of the novel for a film because of the time constraints on a film (wouldn’t do the novel justice). Now they are saying with the “hype” of Netflix and the popularity of series, that now is the perfect time to take on the project.
Francisco Ramos, Netflix’s VP of Spanish language originals, said, “We are incredibly honored to be entrusted with the first filmed adaptation of ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude,’ a timeless and iconic story from Latin America that we are thrilled to share with the world” AND “We know our members around the world love watching Spanish-language films and series, and we feel this will be a perfect match of project and our platform.”
