Plot
Season 1
The series begins in 2021, where Virguley lives tight with the bills and without morals in São Paulo, making presentations in the capital as Lampião, because of his resemblance to the cangaçeiro, having the desire to become a millionaire and return to the Northeast. When he gets involved in a fight, he is hit on the head and transported to the year 1927, in the middle of the cangaço, and is mistaken by the population for Lampião. Taking advantage of this confusion, Virguley begins to act as if he were the real king of the cangaço and decides to gather a group, having in it his passion, Mariá and to gain power in the town and take advantage of this moment, until he meets the real Virgulino Ferreira da Silva, Lampião.[2]
Production
The series started to be shot in the city of Quixadá, Juatama district, in the state of Ceará in the beginning of November 2021 wrapping in February 2022 in São Paulo.[3] Part of the shoot were made in a mini scenic city still in the city of Quixadá, built for the series due to the Covid-19 pandemic.[4] The project is part of Netflix's Mais Brasil na Tela which brings to the platform more series produced in the country and foments the brazilian market.[4][5] The director Gomes says about the project that "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"[1]
The series will be released in the second half of 2022 and will have 7 episodes, each 30 minutes long.[6] with production from GLAZ Entertainment.
