Chilean creators Francisca Alegría and Fernanda Urrejola have adapted Isabel Allende's beloved novel "The House of the Spirits" into a limited series for Amazon Prime Video. This project incorporates elements of both magic and realism. Alongside producer Eva Longoria, Alegría and Urrejola shared the behind-the-scenes story of this adaptation.

Isabel Allende's novel, published in 1982, presents an intergenerational saga woven through the historical events of South America. The series successfully balances preserving the rich narrative texture of the book and its magical realism style while addressing the challenges of adapting it to a visual medium. Alegría and Urrejola made conscious choices to strike a balance between respecting the source material and making it suitable for the dynamics of screen production.

Eva Longoria's involvement as an executive producer added an international dimension to the project, ensuring it reached a broader audience. Alegría and Urrejola created a production that maintains the spiritual and emotional depth of Allende's original work, allowing contemporary viewers to connect with it.
