The second instalment arrived on August 5, picking up after a run of losses and a turn for Colonel Aureliano that the streamer has been happy to describe as monstrous. ## Why it was split in two Francisco Ramos, Netflix's vice president of content for Latin America, told Variety that two parts had been the plan from the start, and that approaching the adaptation as a bookended project, with the ending already in sight, changed the perspective on everything before it. He also described something the team worked out along the way. Macondo, the town, keeps growing until it functions as a character in its own right. The first part is about founding it and building a utopia. The second starts with that utopia in place and follows the route every utopia eventually takes, which is downward. ## What is streaming now The first seven episodes of part two have been on Netflix since August 5. ## The finale is being handled separately Episode eight is treated as a film rather than an instalment. It runs a little under two hours, according to Variety, and is getting theatrical screenings in Colombia, where the story is set. It reaches Netflix on August 26, three weeks behind the rest. --- Originally published by Star Life.
