‘100 Years Of Solitude’ Finale: Cast Interviews & Trailer

EXCLUSIVE: Cast members including iconic Colombian star Margarita Rosa de Francisco came on board Part Two of Netflix’s 100 Years Of Solitude, and with the finale of the epic adaptation about to launch, several of the stars who appear in the series-closing episode spoke exclusively to Deadline. We are also first with the trailer for the finale.

De Francisco, famous in Latin America for her role in long running series Café Con Aroma de Mujer, appears in Part Two, as do Estefanía Piñeres, Emmanuel Restrepo and Sebastián Osorio.

The Netflix adaptation of the classic novel by Gabriel García Márquez has been split into two parts. The eight-episode Part Two is streaming now, with a special final instalment dropping separately, as we revealed earlier in the year.

“It’s very intimidating to play a character in such a relevant and important work, and one that so many critics have said outright was impossible to film,” said de Francisco, who plays Fernanda del Carpio. “What we had to do is find ourselves in the work so that we can be faithful to it, and we had to trust the [series] writers.”

Season 2 scribes are: José Rivera, Natalia Santa, Camila Brugés and María Camila Arias.

Osorio has been in shows including the telenovela Pasión de Gavilanes and stars as Aureliano Babilonia. He agreed it was both exciting and intimidating to land a role in an adaptation of such a seminal novel.

Piñeres, whose credits include the movie Malta and the Netflix miniseries Delirium, plays Amaranta Úrsula in the series. “These characters take on a quality that is almost mythological,” she said. “They’re in this kind of demigod space where you have to meet them as a character. It was really important that I trusted the writers.”

She told Deadline about a pinch-me moment when she stepped onto the set for 100 Years Of Solitude.

“I walked in and saw all of the actors that had been playing the Buendías, who were there as they were going to appear as ghosts… it was just such a surreal moment. I was like, ‘I’m walking into the Buendía house, and I’m seeing all of the Buendías together.’”

The production has given the Colombian TV industry a creative and financial boost, employing a massive cast and crew as well as local artisans who worked to recreate the mythical town of Macondo.

“So many things had to align for this particular production to be able to get off the ground… we had 1500 people working,” said Colombian actor Restrepo, who starred in Netflix’s romantic drama Eva Lasting and plays José Arcadio in 100 Years Of Solitude. “I’ve never seen anything like it, and I hope I will again.”

Laura Mora and Carlos Moreno directed seven of the eight episodes in Part Two, with Alex García López (The Witcher) helming the final episode. Bogotá -based Dynamo is the production company. The closing episode starts streaming on August 26. Check out the trailer.

EXCLUSIVE: Jacob Moskovitz, star of Prime Video’s Elle, is joining the cast of Kowalski as Marlon Brando.

Moskovitz will join Johnny Galecki as Tennessee Williams in the Gregg Ostrin play directed by Colin Hanlon. The play will run from September 15 through October 25 at Chicago’s Lookingglass Theatre Company at the historic Water Tower Water Works.

Kowalski is set over one pivotal evening in 1947 Provincetown, imagining the electrifying first meeting between Tennessee Williams and a young Marlon Brando, just as Williams searches for the actor who would forever change the destiny of A Streetcar Named Desire.

The play blends fact, memory, and theatrical imagination, offering a glimpse into the creative forces behind one of the most influential works in American theater. Kowalski explores the intersection of ambition, artistry, desire, and the creation of theatrical history.

Moskovitz recently starred in the Legally Blonde prequel Elle, which has already been renewed for a second season at Amazon’s Prime Video. In the series, Moskovitz plays the role of Miles Cohen, a track star who takes an interest in Elle.

The actor also recently completed production on the Fernando Meirelles-directed Netflix feature Here Comes the Flood, appearing alongside Robert Pattinson, Denzel Washington, and Daisy Edgar-Jones.

Other credits for Moskovitz include the Seth Meyers-produced feature Brian, the independent feature The Floaters, A24’s Y2K, Chicago P.D., The Good Fight, Magnum P.I., and FBI: International, among others.

Kowalski is an Off-Broadway hit that had a limited run in 2025 at Duke on 42nd Street. The cast featured Robin Lord Taylor as Williams and 13 Reasons Why star Brandon Flynn as Brando.

Hayden Panettiere Costar Says She Was “Struggling” During Final Movie

Hayden Panettiere appeared to be struggling in her personal life while filming her final movie, according to co-star Justin Chatwin.

Chatwin opened up about his experience making the thriller Sleepwalker, which was shot in 2025 and released in January.

The actor told People that Panettiere — who died at the age of 36 on Sunday — seemed to be “struggling” at the time.

The two first met when the actress was starring in her breakout NBC series, Heroes, then they reconnected on Sleepwalker, where Panettiere played a woman who loses her daughter in a car crash.

“Hayden seemed different when I met her this time than when I met her in the early years,” Chatwin said. “I’ve been sober for 15 years, so I know this world of addiction, and Hollywood — it takes, and it takes from youth. I could tell she was struggling, and I was like, ‘I don’t think it’s this movie.’ There’s a handful of women that I’ve worked with that I really liked, and I really loved working with her, but I also know that she was really lonely. … We hit it off great and it was an awesome shoot, but it was about domestic abuse, and it was subject matter that may have hit close to home, because she did mention it.”

While making Sleepwalker, Panettiere told Chatwin about the “struggles she’s had with trauma.” The actress and mother had been open about her issues with addiction and postpartum depression, and wrote about both in her candid memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, published in May.

“I’m sure that everyone else is going to say ‘Oh, she’s amazing, she’s such a sweet person on set,’” he added. “Because she was. But we’re trained to be actors, so we’re acting on set, you know? And she is sweet. She had a beautiful heart. But we’re trained to be on, and I really liked spending time with her because she took that off, and she was authentic with me about her life and she opened up about her struggles with addiction.”

In addition, the Nashville star’s former fiancé, Wladimir Klitschko, has spoken out. “Our family is going through a time of profound shock and grief,” the former boxing world champion posted on Instagram early Tuesday.

Klitschko added the news of Hayden’s death “saddens me deeply. She left this world far too soon. Hayden was, although no longer my partner, an important part of my life and the mother of our daughter, Kaya.”

The circumstances of Panettiere’s death are under investigation. The Greenville County Coroner’s Office said she was found unresponsive and that her cause and manner of death remain pending further investigation.

The Slough House gang are on the run in the trailer for Slow Horses Season 6.

A new trailer for darkly comic Apple TV spy thriller shows Jack Lamb’s (Gary Oldman) team embroiled in Diana Taverner’s (Kristin Scott Thomas) fatal high-stakes game of retaliation and revenge.

“I cannot emphasize this enough: Stay dark, yeah? No phones,” he shouts. Cue a hard cut to computer hacker Roddy Ho (Christopher Chang) calling Lamb via cell. “What don’t you understand about going dark?” shouts Lamb.

The trailer also provides one more big surprise: The return of Olivia Cooke as disappeared MI5 agent Sid Baker, who is seen waiting for waiting at the top of a flight of stairs. “Hello River,” she says with a smirk as Jack Lowden’s River Cartwright stops dead in his tracks. Sid was last seen at the end of Season 1.

Adapted from Mick Herron’s Joe Country and Slough House novels, the six-episode Season 6 will also star the likes of Saskia Reeves, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Rosalind Eleazar, Joanna Scanlan, Samuel West, Ruth Bradley, Tom Brooke, Jonathan Pryce, Hugo Weaving and newcomer Lenny Rush.

The season launches on September 16, just under a year after the debut on Season 5, which garnered nine Primetime Emmy nominations.

Slow Horses stars Oldman as Lamb, a brilliant but cantankerous leader of dysfunctional spies who have made career-ending mistakes and end up at a dumping ground MI5 unit known as Slough House.

See-Saw Films makes the show for Apple TV, with with Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, Julian Stevens, Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, Adam Randall, Gail Mutrux, Douglas Urbanski and Oldman serving as executive producers. Co-executive producer Gaby Chiappe has adapted the season, with Adam Randall returning to direct.
