Globo’s ‘Três Graças’ Premieres in 9 p.m. Slot, Marking Aguinaldo Silva’s Return

The new primetime novela frames a three-generation household to explore a public-health corruption plot led by a powerful foundation.

Overview

  • The series debuts Monday as the successor to Vale Tudo in Globo’s flagship timeslot, with heavy pre-launch promotion and cast appearances.
  • Set in São Paulo, the story centers on Lígia, Gerluce and Joélly Maria das Graças and portrays contemporary social realities in a female-led home.
  • Murilo Benício plays Santiago Ferette, a sophisticated antagonist whose foundation is implicated in falsified medicines; Grazi Massafera makes her first TV turn as a villain, Arminda, his partner.
  • Fernanda Vasconcellos returns to novelas after nine years as Samira, a chef at the Ferette foundation with a hidden criminal side, and singer Belo debuts as Misael, a community figure seeking justice.
  • Author Aguinaldo Silva, back at Globo under a work-by-project deal, positions the show as entertainment with topical bite; the Chacrinha community was built in studio with elements inspired by Brasilândia.
