The streaming service on Wednesday announced that the series, consisting of two parts of eight episodes each, will debut its first installment on December 11. Billed as one of the most ambitious audiovisual projects in Latin American history, "One Hundred Years of Solitude" was filmed entirely in Colombia, with the support of the Nobel laureate's family.
