Overview
- Multiple Brazilian outlets reported on August 28, 2026 that Globo has approved a sequel to the 2012 telenovela with a planned premiere in the first half of 2027 to take the 9 p.m. slot.
- Reports name João Emanuel Carneiro leading the project with a writers team and list Ricardo Waddington as director artístico and Henrique Sauer as diretor-geral, though Globo has not publicly confirmed those credits.
- Several original cast members were reported to be set to return and outlets also cited new casting prospects; those casting details remain based on press reporting and are not formally announced by the network.
- Coverage describes strict anti-leak measures being imposed on the production, including emphatic warnings to cast and crew and reports that staff could face dismissal for breaking confidentiality.
- Globo has not issued an official confirmation and industry coverage says a formal reveal is expected at Globo’s Upfront 2027 in October, a timing that reflects the commercial sensitivity of reviving one of its biggest telenovela hits.
