Lázaro Ramos to host 2026 Criança Esperança special

The 2026 Criança Esperança special will feature a playful, fable-like approach on TV Globo, scheduled for broadcast on October 12 following the program 'Quem Ama Cuida'. Actor Lázaro Ramos has been cast as the 'Guardian of Stories,' acting as a master of ceremonies within a magical library set in an enchanted forest.

The production will include musical performances by the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra and guest appearances by artists such as Sandy, Michel Teló, and Gaby Amarantos. To encourage solidarity, actress Taís Araújo will lead the mobilization efforts. This year, the campaign is transitioning from traditional telephone donations to instant contributions via Pix and QR codes displayed on screen.

Preceding the main event, the 'Maratona da Esperança' will begin on October 10, featuring nostalgic segments such as a classic edition of 'TV Globinho'.
