A Fazenda 18: Cast rumors and format changes ahead of premiere

RecordTV is preparing for the premiere of 'A Fazenda 18' on September 14, hosted by Adriane Galisteu. The new season will feature 28 personalities initially, with two being eliminated immediately, leaving 26 competitors. Notable changes to the format include the removal of the 'Paiol' and the 'Infiltrado' mechanics.

Speculation regarding the cast has intensified following leaked lists. Names frequently mentioned include Maíra Charken, Jottapê, and actor Jônatas Faro, who recently addressed the rumors with a lighthearted response. However, influencer Lorena Maria has explicitly denied participation, citing her responsibilities as a mother and her ongoing studies.

Additionally, director Rodrigo Carelli has introduced a new mare to live in the 'Baia' area, inviting fans on social media to suggest a name for the animal. The season is expected to run until mid-December.
