The project was conceived by Lucas Paraizo and entered pre-production in 2019, when he was working on Seasons 4 & 5 of
Sob Pressão; however, the series was only announced to the public in January 2022 on Patrícia Kogut's column on
O Globo, featuring
Adriana Esteves on a leading role. Paraizo said
TV Globo invited him to create something inspired by
This is Us, which prompted him to think of something involving "Brazilian families" with an "emotional" appeal, following his work with
Sob Pressão.” Luísa Lima was assigned as the series director and had the films
Parasite (2019) and
Elephant (2003) as inspirations.
Thomás Aquino left the series
O Jogo que Mudou a História to take on another leading role and was subsequently replaced by Rômulo Braga. Eduardo Sterblitch was cast in his first drama role as the former cop Sérgio.
Guilherme Fontes was cast as Jorge, an entrepreneur linked to
the 2016 Olympics in Rio who was arrested for corruption and is married to Lúcia (
Drica Moraes), property manager of the condo that serves as the main setting of the first season. Magali Biff was cast as the mother of Mila (Maeve Jinkings). Ana Flávia Cavalcanti, Gabriel Lima, Pedro Ogata, Helena Quintella and Rodrigo García were cast as additional residents. Raphael Logam was in talks for a possible main role but was instead cast for a guest appearance only while focusing on a bigger role for
O Jogo que Mudou a História and, later, working on Seasons 4 & 5 of
Impuros. In February,
Globoplay scheduled the first filming sessions for April. Shooting only began the following month, however, and concluded in August in
Rio de Janeiro. The series had its first images shown at Rio2C. A second season was confirmed even before the release of first one. It will be set in a different condominium and will feature new characters; with only a few returning characters from the previous season. Paraízo confirmed the return of Cibele, Sérgio, Marcinho, Joana and Lorraine, all played by the same actors as before, besides
Thomás Aquino, who'll be returning as a guest with his character Amâncio.
Mariana Nunes was the first new actress to be revealed - she will play a character described as a widow seeking revenge against a man involved in the death of her husband. Later, Cauê Campos was announced as Nunes's character's son.
Letícia Colin was cast as Raquel, a religious real state agent, and
Sergio Guizé was casta as her husband Paulo. Along with them, Luis Lobianco was announced as Durval, the property manager of the new condo. Raphael Logam left the series to work on
Família é Tudo and Season 6 of
Impuros. == Airing ==
