Prime Video Renews True-Crime Series ‘Tremembé’ for Season 2 as Ex-Inmate Sues Over Portrayal

The streamer credits exceptional audience engagement for the renewal, with a R$ 3 million misrepresentation case from Sandrão pending in Mogi das Cruzes.

Overview

  • Prime Video confirmed a second season and released a teaser that shows the arrival of former footballer Robinho at the prison.
  • The new episodes will add male characters Robinho and businessman Thiago Brennand, both convicted of rape, alongside storylines that follow Suzane von Richthofen and Elize Matsunaga outside prison.
  • Sandra Regina Ruiz Gomes, known as Sandrão, filed a civil suit seeking R$ 3 million for moral damages, image rights and alleged excesses in freedom of expression.
  • Her filing disputes depictions that present her as the mastermind of a 2003 kidnapping and as participating in a killing, and it challenges scenes such as a claimed gunshot injury and the so-called “gaiola do amor” as invented or exaggerated.
  • Amazon/Prime Video has not publicly commented on the lawsuit; the series is produced by Paranoid and draws on Ulisses Campbell’s book Tremembé: O Presídio dos Famosos, with no release date yet for Season 2.
