Prime Video Debuts Isabel Allende’s The House of the Spirits as an Eight-Episode Latin American Series

Allende endorsed the Spanish-language retelling to restore cultural specificity.

Overview

  • The series, which launched Wednesday with three episodes, will roll out weekly to complete an eight-part season in more than 240 countries and territories.
  • Told from Alba’s point of view, the show centers three generations of women and links their family saga to political change in a Chile-inspired setting.
  • Author Isabel Allende serves as executive producer, approving story edits and praising the adaptation’s subtle approach to magical realism.
  • Filmed in Chile in 2024, the cast draws from Latin America and Spain, with Alfonso Herrera as Esteban Trueba and Nicole Wallace and Dolores Fonzi portraying Clara at different ages.
  • Backers include Fábula and FilmNation with Eva Longoria and Courtney Saladino as executive producers, marking a Latin-led collaboration that contrasts with the 1993 English-language film.
