Patrícia França Returns to Globo in ‘Paraíso Perdido’

Patrícia França returns to the broadcaster after 11 years and will play Vanda in Globoplay's new soap opera, Paraíso Perdido. The announcement of the actress's participation generated significant interest, as it marks her return to Brazilian prime-time television.

Actress's Return to Globo

Patrícia França's last appearance on Globo was in 2014, when she played Professor Delma in the series Malhação Sonhos. Now, the artist has been cast in Paraíso Perdido, a soap opera written by George Moura and Sergio Goldenberg and artistically directed by Joana Jabace.

The Plot of Paraíso Perdido

The story unfolds in contemporary Rio de Janeiro and features 40 episodes. The protagonist, Maria Cecília (Alanis Guillen), lives a forbidden romance with her own brother-in-law and gets involved in situations of desire, jealousy, and family hypocrisy, recurring themes in Nelson Rodrigues's works.

Adaptation of Four Nelson Rodrigues Plays

The plot brings together elements from Bonitinha, mas Ordinária, A Mulher sem Pecado, Toda Nudez Será Castigada, and Os Sete Gatinhos. Each play provides narrative threads that have been transposed to current urban life, maintaining the focus on conflicts of class, sexuality, and morality.

Cast and Production

In addition to Patrícia França, the cast includes MC Cabelinho, Thainá Duarte, Ricardo Teodoro, Enrique Diaz, Hermila Guedes, and Vilma Melo, among other names. Clara Moneke plays the masseuse Silene, while Carlos Francisco and Jussara Mathias portray young Silene's parents. Maicon Rodrigues appears as the character's brother.

Premiere Expectation

Filming began this month, and the soap opera is scheduled to premiere in the first half of 2027, first on Globoplay and later on TV Globo. The production promises to bring audiences a narrative that combines the playwright's classic works with the contemporary language of streaming television.
