Netflix Prepping Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera Drama

Netflix is developing a series that delves into the lives of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, with Patricia Riggen and Gabriel Ripstein on board to direct.

The drama will explore how their love, betrayals and work were shaped by a political, social and artistic context. It tells the story of a woman who refuses to be just a muse and of a man struggling to sustain his creative genius.

The series is being adapted from the prose of Claire Berest under the guidance of María Renée Prudencio as head writer. Mónica Lozano of Alebrije Producciones is producing.
