Girls From Ipanema, previously known as Most Beautiful Thing, is a Brazilian drama series on Netflix that’s highly celebrated for its gripping plot. The story revolves around Malu, a young woman abandoned by her husband after moving to Rio de Janeiro to supposedly start a restaurant together. After taking all the money and leaving her in a strange new city, Malu found a new life and love with the rise of bossa nova in Rio. Season 2 ended with a huge cliffhanger, putting Malu and her friends in potentially deep trouble. Let’s find out what’s in store for the series.
Has ‘Girls From Ipanema’ Been Renewed For Season 3?
As of this writing, Netflix is yet to renew Girls From Ipanema for season 3. The series premiered on Netflix worldwide on March 22, 2019, with seven episodes, and received a renewal for season 2 on May 13, 2019. Season 2 dropped on the streaming platform on June 19, 2020, with six episodes. Since then, Netflix has become quiet regarding the show’s status for season 3, but we’re expecting announcements soon. It’s highly likely that the pandemic may have interrupted productions on a third season, leading to a possible ghost cancellation. We’ll keep you posted for updates.
When Will ‘Girls From Ipanema’ Season 3 Drop on Netflix?
Netflix is yet to renew the show for season 3. If the show receives the go signal and starts filming soon, then we’re likely to get season 3 episodes sometime in 2024. The series only had 7 and 6 episodes in the previous seasons, so hopefully, it requires a short production time. Of course, potential delays cannot be disregarded.
The Plot: What Will Happen In ‘Girls From Ipanema’ Season 3?
Warning: Season 2 spoilers ahead.
If there’s one thing that Girls From Ipanema season 2 is clear about, that is that season 3 is going to be intense. Augusto’s trial was the highlight of season 2. The testimonies of Malu, Adélia, and Ligia’s sister-in-law, Thereza, were ignored by the patriarchal Brazillian court. So despite the girls’ sworn statements revealing Augusto beating and raping Ligia before killing her, he managed to get four years on parole and walked free. But justice is served differently. Towards the end of season 2, we saw Augusto’s dead body floating in the swimming pool. With Augusto’s death, we’re expecting Malu and the girls to try their best to clear their names and prove they have nothing to do with the incident. Malu will have to work hard to avoid getting pinned on the murder after her public confrontation with Augusto. Augusto threatened to close her club, to which she replied that she’s no longer afraid of him, adding he must be scared of her instead. But then, almost all of the characters involved have motives to kill Augusto. It’s up to season 3 to deliver all the dramas and wrap things up in the overarching plot.
Who Will Be In The Cast Of ‘Girls From Ipanema’ Season 3?
Nothing is confirmed yet, but we’re likely to see leading cast members reprise their roles for season 3. Maria Casadevall as Maria Luiza “Malu” Carone, Pathy Dejesus as Adélia Araújo, Fernanda Vasconcellos as Lígia Soares, Mel Lisboa as Thereza Soares, Leandro Lima as Francisco “Chico” Carvalho, Ícaro Silva as Capitão, Alexandre Cioletti as Nelson Soares, Gustavo Machado as Roberto, and Larissa Nunes as Ivone Araújo among others. Gustavo Vaz could also return as Augusto Soares through flashbacks as they try to solve the mystery behind his death.
