\n\tBestselling author Isabel Allende has revealed that the series adaptation of her iconic debut novel \u201cThe House of the Sprits\u201d is set to premiere next year on Prime Video.<\/p>\n
\n\tSpeaking at a press conference in Santiago, Chile, Allende also showed attendees a clip of the 8-episode Spanish-language series based on her wildly popular family saga.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThe House of the Spirits\u201d follows the Trueba family through decades of love, conflict and social upheaval. It tells a multi-generational magical realist story of hidden romances, deep passions and the toll of a violent revolution. As the years pass, the family\u2019s secrets and struggles build to a breaking point, setting the proud, controlling patriarch and his strong-willed granddaughter on opposite sides of a growing divide.<\/p>\n
\n\tNew images of the series revealed a cast led by Aline Kuppenheim (\u201cChile \u201876\u201d) as Nivea del Valle along with Fernanda Urrejola (\u201cCry Macho\u201d) and Sara Becker (\u201cThe Movie Teller\u201d) as Blanca Trueba in different life stages.<\/p>\n
\n\tOther cast members include Alfonso Herrera (\u201cSense8\u201d) as Esteban Trueba while Nicole Wallace (\u201cMy Fault\u201d) and actress-helmer Dolores Fonzi, whose second directorial outing \u201cBelen\u201d is currently in official competition at the 73rd San Sebastian Film Festival, play the clairvoyant Clara del Valle at different times of her life. \u201cBelen\u201d will play on Prime Video after its festival run.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe author participated in a panel discussion with showrunners Francisca Alegria (\u201cThe Cow Who Sang a Song Into the Future\u201d), Urrejola and Andr\u00e9s Wood (\u201cNews of a Kidnapping\u201d) where they discussed its adaptation into a series.<\/p>\n
\n\tHaving sold over 70 million copies worldwide, \u201cThe House of the Spirits\u201d is considered one of the most momentous novels of the 20th century. It was previously adapted into a film in 1993 starring Meryl Streep, Jeremy Irons and Antonio Banderas. The film was panned given its hodge podge of accents. In a 2021 interview with Variety,<\/em> Allende reflected on the movie adaptation, noting that in the early \u201890s, one needed a big cast as most people were not used to subtitles then. \u201cNowadays, it could be in Mayan, Spanish, Quechua or whatever language and you don\u2019t need big names, just good actors,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \n\tThe series is produced by FilmNation, the multi Academy Award-winning team behind \u201cAnora\u201d and \u201cConclave,\u201d with the support of Pablo and Juan de Dios Larrain\u2019s production company Fabula, the Chilean Oscar-winning producers of \u201cThe Eternal Memory\u201d and \u201cA Fantastic Woman.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAllende, Eva Longoria (\u201cDesperate Housewives\u201d) and Courtney Saladino (\u201cJessica Jones\u201d) serve as executive producers.<\/p>\n \n\tThe much-anticipated Chilean series will be available exclusively on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories worldwide.<\/p>\n \n\tIt joins a growing slate of Latin American Amazon Original productions led by \u201cBetty La Fea: La Historia Contin\u00faa,\u201d \u00a0\u201cDesconectados 2 :Reconectados,\u201d \u201cVencer o Morir,\u201d \u201cMenem\u201d and \u201cSayen.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tThe House of the Spirits<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bestselling author Isabel Allende has revealed that the series adaptation of her iconic debut novel \u201cThe House of the Sprits\u201d is set to premiere next year on Prime Video.
