The classic novel will be turned into a Spanish-language original series for the streaming giant.
Nobel Prize winner Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s signature novel One Hundred Years of Solitude is headed to Netflix.
The video streaming giant has acquired the rights to develop the literary classic, first published in 1967, as a Spanish-language TV series. Garcia Marquez’s sons Rodrigo Garcia and Gonzalo Garcia Barcha will executive produce the series, to be shot in Colombia.
"For decades our father was reluctant to sell the film rights to Cien Anos 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,” said Garcia in a statement.
