Brazilian television and streaming platforms are set to dazzle audiences with an exciting array of new content and events this January. From thrilling film releases on Telecine to new series on Disney+ and the return of "Big Brother Brasil" for its 25th season, there’s something for everyone this month.
Telecine, the subscription TV channel known for its fabulous movie lineup, is gearing up for January 2025 with thrilling premieres across various genres. The channel promises viewers will be treated to suspenseful horror reimaginings and compelling dramas. For horror enthusiasts, the revamped classic features Eric Draven and Shelly Webster, who return from the dead seeking revenge after their brutal murders. For those who relish action, another film tells the taut story of an airplane pilot who saves his passengers from disaster only to become ensnared on a dangerous island. Meanwhile, audiences can expect heartwarming tales, like the one about Raimundo Nonato, who charms inmates with his culinary skills, intertwining gastronomy and drama.
Amongst the more thought-provoking titles is a sci-fi horror about cloning historical figures through fragments of DNA and the frenzy surrounding it as sinister satanists steal the Holy Shroud for dark rituals. Telecine will feature these super premieres every Saturday night at 10 PM, reinforcing its reputation as a go-to source of premium movie entertainment.
Simultaneously, Disney+ is rolling out spectacular subscription deals, especially for new users. From December 23, 2024, until January 6, 2025, first-time subscribers can secure the Disney+ Premium plan for just R$ 29,90/month for the first three months, or the Standard plan for R$ 19,90/month. After this promotional period, standard pricing kicks back, currently set at R$ 62,90 for Premium and R$ 43,90 for Standard.
New viewers can access significant series launches this month, ensuring plenty of binge-worthy content. Series premiering include the much-anticipated "Ariel" on January 8 and other enthralling shows like "Doctor Odyssey" and "What We Do in the Shadows" scheduled for later this month. While Disney+ continues to bolster its original content, sports fans are not left out either, with live coverage of several exciting events, including the Supercopa da Espanha and various Premier League classics.
The excitement doesn't stop there, as the much-loved reality show "Big Brother Brasil" announces its imminent return. With its 25th season set to kick off on January 13, 2025, viewers will eagerly await the reveal of the contestants on January 9 at Globo. This year promises something unique: the participants will be paired as they navigate the challenges and compete for the grand prize, adding another layer of intricacy to the competition. The anticipation is palpable as host Tadeu Schmidt showcases the newcomers live, promising audiences captivating dynamics and unforeseen alliances.
All the action will be broadcast from the house, and for those seeking every detail, additional insights will be accessible through Globo’s platforms. With "BBB 25," viewers can expect to experience the heart-thumping thrills and drama of reality television at its finest.
Finally, SBT invites musical enthusiasts to revel in the “Verão Maior Paraná” festival, featuring free concerts across the gorgeous beaches of Matinhos and Pontal do Paraná. This year’s edition follows last season's success, which attracted over one million tourists. Running between January and February 2025, the festival will showcase renowned artists like Jota Quest and Gustavo Mioto, with special performances aired every Friday evening on SBT.
With such diverse entertainment lined up—from gripping films and original series to thrilling reality TV and vibrant music festivals—Brazilian audiences can look forward to an action-packed start to the New Year. These entertainment platforms are undoubtedly enriching the viewing experience and keeping the excitement alive for their subscribers throughout January.
