This sounds like quite a production!
ilming the adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude in Colombia delivered a 225BN Peso ($51.8M) economic boost to the country, the streamer said.

The number excludes the budget for the series, which has never been broken out.
The adaptation of Gabriel García Márquez’s seminal novel is the biggest TV project ever out of Colombia. In securing the rights to the magical realist tome, Netflix agreed the mythical town of Macondo would be recreated in Colombia and built by Colombians.
