Netflix has yet to release a premiere date for the upcoming series, but the adaptation is set to be released sometime in 2024. Additionally, the teaser ends with a note that the series is “Coming soon” to the streamer.

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.
