This season consisted of 12 episodes and a live finale in Brazil. The season tournament finale, along with the coaches fight, took place on June 8, 2013. The show started filming in November 2012 and was in Portuguese. The season was again produced by Floresta, a Brazilian production company, and aired in Brazil on Globo.
