A Netflix series on the tempestuous relationship between iconic Mexican artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera is in the works, with Patricia Riggen (“Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan”) and writer-director-producer Gabriel Ripstein, known for “600 Miles” and “Narcos,” on board to direct.
The still untitled show will delve into their lives and explore how shifting political, social, and artistic upheavals shaped their relationship and oeuvre. Produced by Mónica Lozano of Alebrije Producciones (“Amores Perros,” “Instructions Not Included”), it is an adaptation of French writer Claire Berest ‘s novel “Rien n’est noir,“ translated to “The Award-Winning Novel About the Colorful and Captivating Life of Frida Kahlo.”
