Netflix has released the final trailer and announced an August 26 premiere date for the concluding episode of its One Hundred Years of Solitude adaptation.
The first seven episodes of the show's second half debuted together on August 5, nearly two years after the series premiered. The streaming platform held back the final installment for a separate release one week later.
The series adapts the 1967 novel by Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez, who died in 2014. García Márquez won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982 for his work, which became one of the most famous pieces of Spanish language literature.
One Hundred Years of Solitude cast
Laura Mora and Carlos Moreno directed the second part of the series. The cast features Marleyda Soto as Úrsula Iguarán and Claudio Cataño as Colonel Aureliano Buendía.
The destiny of Macondo
The final episode will follow the last generations of the Buendía family as Macondo reaches the destiny laid out in the original novel. The arrival of the railroad and a banana company brings progress to the town, but also a progressive decline that fulfills the curse over the family line. The second part of the adaptation covers the remaining 50 years of the story.
Netflix adaptation agreement
During his life, García Márquez refused to sell the screen rights to his book. He believed a film would not have the necessary time to tell the whole story, and he wanted any adaptation to be produced in Spanish.
Following his death, his sons Rodrigo and Gonzalo García Barcha reached an agreement with Netflix in 2019 to turn the novel into a series. The project was filmed entirely in Colombia with the backing of the writer's family.
The first part of One Hundred Years of Solitude premiered on Netflix on December 11, 2024. Its eight episodes depicted the foundation of Macondo and the early history of the Buendía family.
