This is the most expensive Netflix project created in Latin America to date, in which Colombian groups and indigenous communities create props and scenery for the series. 100 años de soledad is one of the greatest peaks of literature in the Spanish language.

The plot develops smoothly, with richness and depth. I like it, and I was a little skeptical that the magical world of GGM could be transferred to the screen. Wall, so far this is a success in my book. One Hundred Years of Loneliness is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month. Check out our December calendar to learn more!
