Beyond being a major 50-episode series already in preproduction, Ben-Hur now has official confirmation of the main actors responsible for telling this story.

After the premiere date, the most sought-after information about the series is who will play the protagonist, and the answer is Vinícius Redd. The actor, who appeared in earlier productions such as Gênesis, Reis and A Rainha da Pérsia, will now be Judah, heir to the Ben-Hur family.

Those familiar with Lew Wallace's book, on which the new series is based, know there is no Judah without Messala. Rômulo Weber will bring the antagonist to life, but we can already reveal that he will challenge your ability to choose a side.

But… this story will not consist only of action, epic clashes, twists born of disloyalty and conflicts revealing the deepest human intentions. For the eagerly awaited romance, we will have two very special names: Pâmela Tomé as Ester, Judah's romantic partner, and Ingrid Conte as Messala's romantic partner.

Written by Cristiane Cardoso and directed by Leo Miranda, Ben-Hur will be a historical drama of action and faith, showing that suffering either destroys or purifies, depending on how you respond to it.
