Record TV faces casting challenges for ‘A Fazenda 18’

Record TV is currently assembling the cast for the eighteenth season of its reality show, ‘A Fazenda’, which is scheduled to premiere on September 14, 2026. The upcoming season is expected to feature 22 participants and may introduce changes to the show's dynamics.

Production faces challenges in securing high-profile names, as several celebrities and influencers have reportedly declined invitations due to professional schedules, personal values, or a lack of interest in the confinement format. Director Rodrigo Carelli has previously noted that negotiations often stall due to these factors.

Among the names being considered for the cast is a renowned carnival designer (carnavalesco) from Rio de Janeiro, known for his work in the samba school circuit and for preparing famous figures for the Sapucaí parades. While his potential participation is being discussed, Record TV has not yet officially confirmed the final lineup.
