Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Glória Perez is literally Brazil's most powerful TV writer—her telenovelas regularly pull 40+ million viewers and shape national conversations. This aired during Bolsonaro's re-election campaign.
The 'fake image' plotline was conceived before deepfakes went mainstream, making Brisa's trauma weirdly prophetic. Perez reportedly rewrote mid-production to mirror emerging disinformation tactics.
