Netflix is planning a new series about Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, two very famous artists from Mexico. Frida Kahlo is known for her colorful and unique paintings that often showed her feelings and experiences. Diego Rivera is famous for painting big murals that tell stories about people and history.

The series will show not just their art, but also their life together. It will explore how they loved each other and sometimes had problems, too.

Making this series as a show instead of a movie will allow the creators to explore these artists’ lives in more detail. They want to show parts of their story that people might not know. This is not the first time Frida’s life has been shown on screen. In 2002, a movie called “Frida” was made. Now, Netflix hopes to tell their story in a new and exciting way.
