‘One Hundred Years of Solitude: Part 1’ Trailer: And This Is Why You Don’t Marry Your Cousin

You won’t have to wait 100 more years for Netflix‘s adaptation of Gabriel García Márquez‘s classic novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude” — the two-part series premieres on December 11. Each part is eight episodes.

“One Hundred Years of Solitude” (the book) was published in 1967; Márquez won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. The novel has sold more than 50 million copies and has been translated into more than 40 languages.

“One Hundred Years of Solitude (the series) was entirely filmed in Colombia with the support of the Márquez family. Like the book, it follows cousins José Arcadio Buendía and Úrsula Iguarán who are married against their parents’ wishes.

“Accompanied by friends and adventurers, their journey culminates with the founding of a utopian town on the banks of a river of prehistoric stones that they baptize Macondo,” the Netflix synopsis reads. “Several generations of the Buendía lineage will mark the future of this mythical town, tormented by madness, impossible loves, a bloody and absurd war, and the fear of a terrible curse that condemns them, without hope, to one hundred years of solitude.”

Maybe don’t marry your cousin.
