Netflix Brazil MMA drama Fúria launches
Entities: Marcelo · Vinícius Neri · Fúria · Netflix · José Henrique Fonseca
Overview
Netflix first announced its Brazilian mixed‑martial‑arts drama Fúria with a planned premiere on July 29, 2026, highlighting the eight‑episode series’ plot about an amnesiac fighter and listing the main cast and co‑production with Zola Films.
A month later the platform released a trailer and revised the launch date to June 29, 2026, confirming the same creative team, starring Vinícius Neri and featuring a cameo by former champion Anderson Silva, while reiterating the co‑production arrangement and series details.
The series ultimately premiered on July 29, 2026, with Vinícius Neri playing Marcelo, a near‑death survivor rescued by an MMA trainer who suffers amnesia and later uncovers a criminal network while regaining his identity. Created by Igor Verde and Gustavo Bragança and directed by José Henrique Fonseca, the eight‑episode show features an ensemble cast including Alice Carvalho, Bianca Comparato, Cláudia Raia, Eduardo Moscovis, Fábio Lago, MC Cabelinho and Babu Santana.
