O Cangaceiro do Futuro

The series begins in 2021, where Virguley lives tight with the bills and without morals in São Paulo. He makes presentations in the capital as Lampião, because of his resemblance to the famous bandit (cangaceiro) of the early 1900s. He wants to become a millionaire and return to the Northeast. When he gets involved in a fight, he is hit on the head and travels across time and space to the state of Ceará in the year 1927, where the locals mistake him for Lampião. Taking advantage of this confusion, Virguley begins to act as if he were the real king of cangaço and decides to gather a group to gain power in the town and take advantage of the situation, until he meets the real Virgulino Ferreira da Silva, Lampião. == Production ==

The series started to be shot in Quixadá, Ceará in November 2021, wrapping in February 2022 in São Paulo. Part of the shoot was made in a mini scenic city still in Quixadá, built for the series due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The project is part of Netflix's Mais Brasil na Tela which brings to the platform more series produced in the country and develops the Brazilian market. Director Gomes said, "It's a joy to bring a cultural and historical icon from the Northeast to the rest of Brazil and the world. The era of these outlaws is an endless source of inspiration, and I've long wanted to create a comedy about this moment in time" with production from GLAZ Entertainment. In 2022, Expedita Ferreira, daughter of Lampião, sued Netflix, Inc. for not consulting her during the production of Time Hustler. == Cast and characters ==
