The adaptation of 'The House of the Spirits' has a release date on Prime Video

Prime Video has announced that the adaptation of Isabel Allende's 'The House of the Spirits' will premiere globally on April 29.

Prime Video revealed that the highly anticipated adaptation of Chilean author Isabel Allende's renowned novel 'The House of the Spirits' will be released globally on April 29. This series consists of eight episodes and explores the lives of four generations of women in a fictional country grappling with political turmoil. The adaptation promises to delve deeply into the characters' resilience and the socio-political backdrop of the story.

At a private event in Santiago, where the first teaser was showcased back in September 2025, Isabel Allende emphasized that this new adaptation aligns more closely with the 'Chilean flavor' she infused in her original work during her exile following the military coup that ousted her uncle Salvador Allende from power. She expressed her satisfaction with the series, stating that it captures the essence of the Chilean experience, contrasting it with the previous film adaptation from 1993, which she feels did not do justice to her vision.

Allende's reflections on the new adaptation highlight her hope that this portrayal will resonate more authentically with audiences and honor the cultural and historical context of the story. By ensuring that even minor characters reflect the community's diversity, the series aims to convey the spirit of Chile and the profound impact of its turbulent history on its people, ultimately providing a more substantial narrative experience than previous adaptations.
