Inheritance sets an unlikely man on a violent path in New Bandits (Cangaço Novo), a Brazilian crime drama built around the desert legend of the cangaceiro.

What is New Bandits (Cangaço Novo) about?

Ubaldo receives an inheritance that reshapes his life for good, pulling him into the northwest desert where he takes on leadership of a band of hardened outlaws. That role carries the weight of his biological father's legacy, a mythic cangaceiro whose name still commands fear and respect across the region. What follows traces Ubaldo's uneasy transformation as an ordinary heir into the leader of a pack built on violence, loyalty, and the old codes of banditry, set against a harsh northeastern Brazilian landscape that shapes the story as much as any character in it.

About the cast

Allan Souza Lima leads the series as Ubaldo, with Alice Carvalho, Thainá Duarte, Ricardo Blat, Marcélia Cartaxo, Hermila Guedes, Enio Cavalcante, and Adélio Lima filling out the ensemble around him. The cast draws on Brazilian television and film performers experienced in regional crime drama, giving the cangaço setting a grounded, lived-in texture.

Context & significance

Directors Aly Muritiba and Fábio Mendonça bring the series to life as a Brazilian production set in the action, crime, and drama space, with episodes running around fifty minutes. Cangaço fiction has long been a distinct strand of Brazilian storytelling, drawing on the real history of desert bandit groups from the early twentieth century, and the series leans into that tradition rather than inventing a generic crime-family plot.
