Segundo Sol (English title: A Second Chance[2]) is a Brazilian telenovela produced and broadcast by TV Globo that premiered on 14 May 2018, replacing O Outro Lado do Paraíso, and ended on 9 November 2018, being replaced by O Sétimo Guardião, with a total of 155 episodes. It is created by João Emanuel Carneiro and directed by Dennis Carvalho.
Set in both 1999 and present time, in Bahia, Segundo Sol gives a trajectory of singer, Beto Falcão, who is forced to fake his death in order to save his family from financial turmoil. In his new identity, named Miguel, he meets Luzia, fishmonger and a mother of two, and an estranged wife to a dead beat; they become romantically involved. Karola, Beto's ex-girlfriend and Laureta Bottini, a brothel-keeper, frame Luzia in the murder of her husband and she is forced to flee, leaving her children behind. Nearly two decades later, Luzia returns as Ariella, a DJ and tries to rebuild her life by reuniting with her children, clearing her name, and rekindle her love story with Beto / Miguel.
The show stars Giovanna Antonelli, Adriana Esteves, Emílio Dantas, Deborah Secco, Vladimir Brichta, together with a large ensemble cast.
