Production

edit

The first season of Justiça was shot in Recife, capital of Pernambuco, in an effort by Rede Globo to set some of its works outside of the Rio-São Paulo axis. According to the director, Recife was chosen due to its economic inequality being greater than the rest of the country, which gives the series more veracity. To Villamarim, "Recife is a synthesis of Brazil".[7][8] In the municipality, Pina Beach, Boa Viagem Beach, Teatro de Santa Isabel, Palácio do Campo das Princesas, Mercado de São José and the Holiday Building were used as filming locations. In Olinda, some streets were used as location such as Ladeira da Misericórdia, among others, as well as Largo do Amparo. In Jaboatão dos Guararapes, the Barra de Jangada Beach was used.[9][10] The way the story is told, interconnecting four different stories, was already used in movies such as Short Cuts, Crash and Babel.[11] The cast preparation was done by Chico Accioly and rabbi Nilton Bonder.[12][13]

In May 2022, TV Globo announced that the series would receive a new season shown exclusively on the Globoplay streaming service. The continuation of the production continues with the signing of Manuela Dias and the same format as the first season and expected to premiere in the second half of 2023.[14] Recording began in March 2023 in Ceilândia and Sol Nascente, administrative regions of the Brazilian Federal District, ending in July at Estúdios Globo. The first teaser of the series was shown during a Grupo Globo panel at Rio2C. The characters of Alice Wegmann, Nanda Costa, Paolla Oliveira, Juan Paiva and Murilo Benício were the highlights in the first images.[15]

Plot

edit

Justiça is a drama that follows the lives of four characters who are arrested on the same day. After seven years, they are released and have to deal with the consequences of their imprisonment. These four independent stories are interconnected and provoke reflection on what justice is, based on the particular understanding of each character.
