Prime Video to adapt 'The House Of The Spirits' with Eva Longoria exec producing

Amazon Prime Video is adapting Isabelle Allende's The House Of The Spirits into an eight-part series with Eva Longoria executive producing.

Allende will executive produce alongside Longoria, with showrunners Francisca Alegría, Fernanda Urrejola, and Andrés Wood.

The cast includes Alfonso Herrera, Dolores Fonzi, Nicole Wallace, Juan Pablo Raba, and Fernanda Castillo; further cast will be announced.

The series will be filmed entirely in Spanish, set in Chile, and produced by FilmNation with the support of Pablo Larraín and his brother Juan de Dios Larraín's independent, Mexico-based production company Fabula.

The House Of The Spirits is a magnificent family saga that tells the epic tale of a proud and passionate family, secret loves, and a bloody revolution. The Trueba family's passions, struggles, and secrets span a century of violent social change, culminating in a crisis that hurls the proud, tyrannical patriarch and his beloved granddaughter towards opposite sides of the fence.

The House Of The Spirits was previously adapted into a film in 1993 by Germany-based Constantin Film, and starred Jeremy Irons, Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Winona Ryder, Antonio Banderas and Vanessa Redgrave.
