Accompanied by friends and adventurers, their journey culminates with the founding of a utopian town on the banks of a river of prehistoric stones they baptize Macondo.

100 Years of Solitude
'One Hundred Years of Solitude'. NETFLIX
One Hundred Years of Solitude is set in the fictional South American town of Macondo, and follows several generations of the Buendía family from their founding of the town to their ultimate fate.

With voice-over narration of the novel's opening line, we see glimpses of other scenes from its first chapters, including family patriarch Jose Arcadio Buendía (Marco González) and his wife, Úrsula Iguarán (Susana Morales), journeying through a dangerous jungle until they find a suitable spot where they can build their home. But this is a story that jumps around in time, so we also get a look at their magical house as it exists later (recognize the influence, Encanto fans?).

One Hundred Years of Solitude was first published in 1967 and soon became a global phenomenon. In The New York Times Book Review, critic William Kennedy called it "the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race."

Márquez's matter-of-fact presentation of fantasy elements (a gigantic ship discovered in the middle of a jungle, a beautiful young man who is always surrounded by yellow butterflies) mixed with real life (drawn from 20th-century Colombian history and Cold War imperialism in Latin America more broadly) popularized the literary genre of "magical realism."

Directed by Laura Mora and Alex García López, One Hundred Years of Solitude was filmed entirely in Spanish and shot in Colombia with the support of Márquez's family. The series consists of 16 episodes and is set to premiere on Netflix later this year.

García Márquez’s novel, which was originally published in 1967, tells the story of seven generations of the Buendía Family set in the town of Macondo. The book set the stage for García Márquez winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. Noted for its magical realist style, “One Hundred Years of Solitude” has been translated into 46 languages, has sold more than 50 million copies and is often considered one of the most significant works in the Hispanic literary canon as well as in world literature.

In addition to Cataño, “One Hundred Years of Solitude” stars Jerónimo Barón as Aureliano Buendía as a child; Marco González as Jose Arcadio Buendía; Leonardo Soto as José Arcadio’s son; Susana Morales as Úrsula Iguarán; Ella Becerra as Petronila; Carlos Suaréz as Aureliano Iguarán; Moreno Borja as Melquiades; and Santiago Vásquez a Aureliano Buendía as an adolescent.

Neflix’s take on the acclaimed novel is directed Laura Mora and Alex García López and is filmed entirely in Spanish, marking one of the most ambitious productions in Latin America to date.

Mora and García López executive produce the project alongside Diego Ramírez Schrempp, Juliana Flórez Luna, Andrés Calderón, Josep Amorós, Carolina Caicedo, José Rivera, Rodrigo García and Gonzalo García Barcha. The series was shot in Colombia with the support of Gabriel García Márquez’s family.
Gabo-heads (Gab-lins?), rejoice: the trailer for the upcoming mini-series adaptation of the Márquez masterpiece, One Hundred Years of Solitude, has officially dropped. And though we’ve been burned before by attempts to put the master’s works on celluloid (Love in the Time of Cholera, anyone?), there seems to be room for cautious optimism.

For one thing, the 16-episode series is allegedly one of the most ambitious projects ever filmed in Latin America. But readers should be especially pleased to hear that the teaser opens with a nod to the source material. Namely, a solemn voiceover of the novel’s famous first line: Many years ago, when he faced the firing squad…etc. (For a lovely close read of this sentence, allow me to point you to this piece from Claire Adam.)

Blessed by the estate and filmed, in Spanish, on location in Colombia, the project also looks to have the appropriate scope for a multigenerational epic. Per Deadline, five writers wrote the series: José Rivera, Natalia Santa, Camila Brugés, María Camila Arias and Albatrós González. And two directors—Alex García López and Laura Mora—steer the ship.

Of course, more isn’t always more. In 2007, Roget Ebert wondered if Gabo’s novels could ever stand a translation to the silver screen. “If you extract the story without the language,” he wrote, “you are left with dust and bones but no beating heart.” Thriller pacing—plus the infamous old-age make-up turtled over poor Javier Bardem—doomed Love in the Time of Cholera to a lukewarm-to-wrathful critical response. So my fingers stay crossed that this mini-series will let its truly perfect source material breathe, and age naturally.

But you can calibrate your own expectations. Here’s the trailer, in all its glory.
