Portugual’s SIC has unveiled drama series Avenida Portugal at their annual fall upfront event.
The new production — scheduled to premiere early 2027 — is the adaptation of iconic Brazilian drama Avenida Brasil, originally broadcast by TV Globo in 2012.
José Condessa (Turn of the Tide, Honeyjoon) has been confirmed to star as co-protagonist Jorginho/Batata.
The original Globo series follows the story of Rita, a young girl whose life is shattered after the death of her father and is sent to live in a landfill by her stepmother. Years later, in a quest for justice, Rita returns determined to get her revenge.
Avenida Brasil is one of the most successful Brazilian telenovelas and has recently been adapted as the Turkish drama Leyla. The original series was distributed to more than 100 markets worldwide, reaching audiences across Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
