The Time It Takes: Release Date, Cast, And More

(Welcome to ...And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.)

Sometimes the saddest tales of romance are the most memorable. We all love a happily ever after, but the odds of a relationship ending in forever is pretty slim — but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the ride. After all, break-ups are their own kind of love story, just with a sadder ending. Getting it right isn't easy and should it end in tears, the healing process is more complicated than it looks. Sometimes a good cry and a bucket of ice cream is the way, but when it's truly love, it takes a lot more aching than that. The upcoming Netflix series "The Time It Takes" is delving into the way breakups stay with you, through the story of a woman wallowing in what was, and slowly learning to appreciate her present. Bring some Kleenex and come along for the ride.

Here's everything you need to know about "The Time It Takes."

"The Time It Takes" is scheduled for a worldwide premiere on October 29, 2021. As an original series from the streamer, all 10 episodes will be available exclusively on Netflix.

"The Time It Takes" is a Spanish-language Netflix original that tells a tragic tale of romance, catching up with a woman after the end of her 10-year relationship. She'll spend the series trying to leave her ex in the past, slowly drifting away from their shared memories as she begins to focus on herself. She moves house, searches for a new job and struggles to overcome the pain of her first love by spending less time thinking about the past, and one more minute a day focused on her present. At the core of "The Time It Takes," is the old yet reliable cliché, "time heals all wounds."

De Santiago is no stranger to Netflix, having starred in the hit Spanish series "Cable Girls ("Las Chicas Del Cable") throughout its five season arc.

Here's how Netflix describes the upcoming film, "The Time It Takes":

When their relationship ends, Lina needs to stop thinking about Nico and their memories together to focus on herself. Lina moves house, looks for a new job and tries new things in an attempt to forget her first love. During the 10 episodes of the series she will be thinking a minute less about the past and will be a minute more in the present, giving a new perspective to the expression "time heals all the wounds".
