Nicole Wallace, fresh from the Netflix success of her series Ni una más, is stepping onto a new stage. The project she joins now moves beyond a streaming service and crosses international borders, landing on Prime Video in Chile. In this next venture, she will lead a Chilean television series, and the project is a bold adaptation of The House of the Spirits from Isabel Allende’s iconic literary world.
The young actress will share the spotlight with a talented ensemble that includes Alfonso Herrera, Dolores Fonzi, Juan Pablo Raba, and Fernanda Castillo. Additional cast members will be announced as production progresses, with filming slated to begin soon.

The adaptation is planned as an eight-episode series and centers on a novel that has sold more than 70 million copies worldwide. Top industry figures have already taken notice, with Eva Longoria joining as an executive producer alongside Isabel Allende herself. The project’s producers, Francisca Alegría, Fernanda Urrejola, and Andrés Wood, also play pivotal roles in shaping the series’ creative direction. [Attribution: Isabel Allende]
The House of the Spirits unfolds the saga of a proud and passionate family marked by secret loves, fierce loyalties, and the turbulence of a century filled with social upheaval. Its rich tapestry traces the triumphs and trials of the Trueba family, weaving political revolution, personal longing, and enduring legacy into a dramatic arc that reshapes generations. The family’s patriarch, a figure of authority and stubborn will, finds himself at odds with his grandson as differing visions and aspirations pull them toward divergent destinies.
