Initially, reports indicated that actress Vera Holtz would reprise her role as Lucinda in the upcoming TV Globo sequel to the telenovela ‘Avenida Brasil’, titled ‘Avenida Brasil 2’. The character was expected to appear in a limited capacity at the start of the series and die early in the plot. To accommodate Holtz’s theater schedule, the production had reportedly adjusted its filming timeline.

However, subsequent reports confirmed that Holtz will no longer participate in the project. Citing personal reasons, the actress declined the role despite efforts by director Ricardo Waddington and concessions offered by Globo to secure her return. To manage the absence of the character, the director is expected to use off-screen mentions or citations of Lucinda within the storyline. The sequel remains scheduled to premiere on January 25, 2027.
