Malu (Maria Casadevall) remains the determined woman, dedicated mother and loyal friend we met in the first season. However, now she has a burning strength, fueled by a trauma that made her stronger and now without excuses, without filter and uninhibited. Thereza (Mel Lisboa) chooses to dedicate her life to taking care of her family and her house. But she soon realizes that she is missing another type of accomplishment: work (this time in a radio channel). Before getting married, Adélia (Pathy Dejesus) thinks a lot about her childhood and her father, Duke (Val Perré). She wants to start fresh with Capitão and move forward with her life. Meanwhile, her sister Ivone (Larissa Nunes) goes from a typical teenager to a talented aspiring artist who, with Malu's help, will have the chance to prove her abilities to an industry dominated by men.

Returning cast also includes Fernanda Vasconcellos, as L�gia; �caro Silva, as Capitão; Leandro Lima, as Chico; Gustavo Machado, as Roberto, Alexandre Cioletti, as Nelson, and Gustavo Vaz, as Augusto. Among the new cast are Breno Ferreira, Eliana Pittman, Angelo Paes Leme, Alejandro Claveaux, and Kiko Bertholini - in addition to Perré.
