Globo’s Vale Tudo Accelerates Toward a Guarded October Finale as Ratings Rise

Overview

• August delivered the remake’s best month so far, with national ratings up and gains among younger viewers and the 60+ audience, and the final episode is set for October 17.
• Globo has imposed anti‑leak protocols for the closing chapters, including restricted scripts and confidential shoots for key scenes.
• Storylines have taken a darker turn in recent episodes, sharpening a central mystery that will drive the last weeks without revealing resolved outcomes.
• A late‑stage character, Celso (played by Álamo Facó), joins the cast to align with the show’s antagonist and intensify the stakes.
• A Datafolha survey reports most viewers favor non‑lethal consequences for the antagonist, with only a small share supporting a fatal outcome.
