Canal Brasil to premiere ‘Delegado’ series set in Recife

The series ‘Delegado’ is set to premiere on Canal Brasil on October 30 at 10:00 PM, with new 35-minute episodes airing weekly on Fridays. Directed by Leonardo Lacca and Marcelo Lordello, the seven-episode production is produced by Emilie Lesclaux and Kleber Mendonça Filho.

The plot follows Felipe, played by Johnny Massaro, a middle-class young man who joins the Civil Police in Recife driven by an ideal of justice. Upon taking over his first police station, he encounters a reality far more complex and precarious than anticipated. The narrative explores his struggle to reconcile his convictions with the institutional contradictions, power dynamics, and generational conflicts present within the force.

The cast includes Alice Carvalho, Hermila Guedes, Virginia Cavendish, Igor de Araújo, Rubens Santos, Narcival Rubens, Nataly Rocha, and Georgette Fadel, with a special appearance by Tânia Maria.
