In 1970, Brazil arrived at the World Cup in Mexico carrying the weight of a nation and the humiliation of 1966. What followed across those four weeks in June became the most celebrated performance in football history. This six-part Brazilian drama miniseries recreates that journey from the inside, blending large-scale stadium recreations, period reconstruction and intimate character drama to bring the Seleção’s camp to life. Lucas Agrícola plays Pelé, Rodrigo Santoro plays the fiery and eventually dismissed coach João Saldanha, and Bruno Mazzeo plays Mário Zagallo, who inherited an already assembled squad and guided them to glory. The ensemble cast includes Ravel Andrade (Tostão), Caio Cabral (Carlos Alberto), Gui Ferraz (Jairzinho) and Daniel Blanco (Rivellino). Created by Naná Xavier and Rafael Dornellas, directed by Paulo Morelli and Pedro Morelli, and set against the backdrop of Brazil’s most oppressive period under military rule, the series arrives on Netflix timed to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
