After the premiere of the first part of Netflix’s One Hundred Years of SolitudeNetflix has announced the release window for the second volume of the long-format adaptation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s epic novel of the same name. It will begin streaming on August 2026. An official date is yet to be announced.

In an official statement, the makers said: “One year ago, the first part of the series that adapted the Colombian Nobel laureate’s masterpiece was released to the world. The recognition from both audiences and critics, nationally and internationally, has been unanimous. We have approached the second and final part with the same rigor, ambition, and respect for the novel, and it will be unveiled next August.”

With a total of 16 episodes, Part 2 is directed by Laura Mora and Carlos Moreno. The first part was directed by Mora and Alex García López. The writing team comprises José Rivera, Natalia Santa, Camila Brugés, Albatrós González, María Camila Arias.

The official logline is as follows: “After the armistice and signing of the treaty of Neerlandia, peace still does not reach Macondo. The Conservatives, fearful of Colonel Aureliano Buendía’s threats, plot an attack that —by a twist of fate— brings Fernanda del Carpio from Bogotá to the town. When she marries Aureliano Segundo, one of the bastard Arcadio’s untamable twin sons, she gives Úrsula Iguarán her first legitimate heirs. Meanwhile, the other twin, José Arcardo Segundo, absorbed in José Arcadio Buendía’s manuscripts accomplishes the patriarch’s wild dreams of connecting Macondo with the world. The railroad’s arrival opens the doors to the banana company, which unleashes the town’s downfall and ultimately fulfills Úrsula Iguarán’s curse: for the races condemned to one hundred years of solitude were not granted a second opportunity on earth.”

In its review of Part-1, THE WEEK said: “The production design is impeccable and the size of Netflix’s budget shows as it creates Macondo in such depth and detail. The growth of Macondo is reflected in every slight detail, in the homes of Macondo and even in the clothing of its men and women. The beauty of the world is such that you cannot help but revisit and rewatch some of the images and sequences.”
