Netflix will produce a series about the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and her husband Diego Rivera. This is reported by Deadline.
The series will be based on the novel "There Is No Black and There Will Be None" by Claire Berest about the tumultuous and ambiguous romance of the couple. Netflix wants to tell how love, betrayal, and creativity of the spouses were influenced by the political and social atmosphere of their time.
The screenwriter will be María René Prudencio. The directors will be Patricia Riggen ("Jack Ryan") and Gabriel Ripstein ("Narcos"). The title of the series is still unknown.
Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) was a famous Mexican artist. Her works combine realism, symbolism, and folkloric motifs. Among her works are "Henry Ford Hospital," "My Dress Hangs Here," "The Broken Column," and others.
At the age of 18, she was in an accident and suffered a triple fracture of the spine, fractures of the pelvis, ribs, and leg. Additionally, an iron handrail pierced her abdomen. After that, the artist suffered from severe pain for the rest of her life. In 1929, she married the famous artist Diego Rivera.
