The House of the Spirits
An epic family saga with magical realism and a star-studded cast — one of the main premieres of Prime Video this spring.
Prime Video will release the series The House of the Spirits on April 29, 2026 — an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Isabel Allende. Patriarch Esteban Trueba builds a powerful dynasty, overcoming the journey from extreme poverty to absolute power in a politically unstable country. His wife Clara possesses a mystical gift of communicating with spirits, which intertwines the fates of three generations of the family against a backdrop of social upheaval. The tone is epic, with elements of magical realism, where personal drama intertwines with political history. The format consists of eight episodes, covering a century of family saga. If you enjoy One Hundred Years of Solitude, The Time of the Cicadas, or Latin American sagas in the spirit of Narcos — The House of the Spirits will be the main event of spring.
