Eva Longoria to star in TV adaptation of The House of Spirits

Hollywood actor Eva Longoria will headline the TV adaptation of Isabel Allende's best-selling novel The House of Spirits.

The series is set to be directed by Francisca Alegria, who also wrote the adapted screenplay along with Fernanda Urrejola.

The House of Spirits is a family saga set in a remote South American country that follows the lives of three generations of women in the Trueba Family. With hints of magical realism, the drama series will take on an epic journey of fortune, intrigue, love, and fate through the 20th century.

Notably, Chila-based Allende is credited as the most widely read Spanish-language author with more than 20 books released throughout her career.
