Globo’s 7 p.m. telenovela “Por Você,” created by Dino Cantelli and Juliana Peres, premiered on 17 August. Set in Rio de Janeiro’s South Zone—including locales such as Lagoa and Botafogo—the series follows Dr. Bela (Sheron Menezzes), an obstetrician who assumes responsibility for the four children of her best friend, Juli (Lucy Ramos), following Juli’s fatal car accident. The narrative explores the tension between Bela’s medical career and the sudden demands of motherhood as she raises the children—Peixe, Glorinha, Ítalo, and Samuca—each possessing distinct personalities. The authors have noted thematic ties to Manoel Carlos’s classic “Por Amor,” specifically regarding the central themes of sacrifice and love. A launch event at Rio’s Edifício Touring featured the main cast, including Alinne Moraes, Renata Sorrah, and José de Abreu. The production also marks the return of Giovanna Grigio after an eight-year hiatus and Fernanda de Freitas after five years. Promoted as “realismo lúdico,” the show aims to address contemporary social issues through its dramatic lens. Following the premiere, plot details have clarified that Juli’s critical condition was caused by a driver named Juarez (Milhem Cortaz), who fled the scene of the accident. As the story progresses, Bela faces professional rivalry with Vanessa (Alinne Moraes) at the hospital and a complicated reconnection with her former fiancé, Gabriel (played by Thiago Lacerda). The premiere also marks Lacerda’s return to broadcast television after a three-year hiatus. The debut episode recorded an average of 20.1 rating points in Greater São Paulo, outperforming the 19.3 points achieved by its predecessor, “Coração Acelerado.” Under the artistic direction of André Câmara, the production is scheduled to remain in its time slot until March 2027. Initial social media reactions have been largely positive, with viewers praising the cast and the ~~musical score.~~ emotional weight of the opening chapters.
