[2] In November 2015, Rubem Fonseca and Bia Corrêa do Lago, submitted the synopsis of a plot to the 6 pm timeslot, and was scheduled to debut the following year.

[3][4] In March 2016, Alcides Nogueira was reported to part ways with Bia Corrêa, after the news that she would write most of the episodes alone, but in April, the project was postponed to 2018, after Alessandra Poggi and Angela Chaves' Os Dias Eram Assim, that was to replace Novo Mundo, but that was moved to the 11 p.m.

[9][10] The original synopsis provided an approach between the years 1886 and 1888, when the abolitionist movement occurred, where historical personalities such as Joaquim Nabuco and José do Patrocínio would have contact with the characters, but not to confuse with the audience previous plot (Novo Mundo), the period history was shifted to the 1920s.
