Globo Accelerates ‘Três Graças,’ Cutting 11 Chapters to Jolt Prime-Time Ratings

Overview

• Entertainment outlets report Globo will suppress 11 episodes by December 6 as part of an aggressive re-edit to speed the storyline.
• The production is advancing sequences in the airing order, with broadcast numbering diverging from original scripts as scenes are moved forward.
• The push follows underwhelming linear results in Greater São Paulo, where the novela averaged 21.8 points through November 27 and nearly matched the 7 p.m. soap.
• Casting continues to roll out, with Kelzy Ecard debuting as Helga, a strict new caregiver for Josefa, introduced through the villain’s circle.
• Critics and fans single out Gabriela Loran and Pedro Novaes for standout work, as high‑profile arcs featuring their characters take center stage.
