There are a few ways to say "It has been [amount of time]" in French:
cela fait... / ça fait...
il y a... (less frequent)
voilà... (informal)
All of these use the word que after the period of time to introduce the event or state in question. For example:
It's been a long time since I've watched that show. -- Ça fait longtemps que je n'ai pas regardé cette série.
Notice the negation in the French sentence. If it's confusing, you can think of the literal meaning as "A long time has passed during which I have not watched that show." Here's another sort of example:
I have lived in this house for six years. -- Cela fait six ans que je vis dans cette maison.
