Series 'Jogada de Risco' to air on free-to-air TV

The original production Jogada de Risco is among the most searched topics following the announcement of its free-to-air TV broadcast and the confirmation of a second season focused on women's soccer. The work dives into the sport's behind-the-scenes, showing million-dollar contracts and power struggles.

The plot and behind-the-scenes of soccer

The plot follows Maurício, a former soccer player portrayed by Cauã Reymond whose career was cut short by injuries and the poor management of his father and former agent Valdemar, played by Marcos Frota. After hanging up his boots, he opens his own agency and begins managing young talents, trying to rebuild his life off the pitch.

Alongside Maurício at the agency is lawyer Cris, played by Mariana Sena. She organizes the agency's routine and personal matters, gaining more of a voice and responsibility as trust builds. Together, they try to resolve the issues of players from the Atlântico Futebol e Regatas team.

Cast and TV broadcast

The first episode of the production will air on TV Globo during Espiadinha Globoplay, broadcasting right after Globo Repórter. The show features a cast that includes Letícia Colin, Juan Paiva, Cauê Campos, Marcelo Adnet, Rodrigo Lombardi, Bruna Griphao, Maurício Mattar, and other names in drama.

The story tackles tense moments and high-stakes decisions in a world controlled by money and power. In addition, the work discusses themes such as homophobia, athletes' mental health, and ethics in the sports and journalistic fields.

Second season and women's soccer

Globo has confirmed the production of a second season of the series starring Cauã Reymond, which will feature women's soccer as one of the main elements of the new storyline. The sequel is scheduled for the year Brazil hosts the Women's World Cup.

The news is part of the broadcaster's strategy to expand the coverage dedicated to the sport. The entire first season is already available on the streaming service, with the first episode open to non-subscribers.
