In 2009, Benedito Ruy Barbosa gave the direction of Rede Globo the synopsis of on the São Francisco River; but in 2012, after evaluation by the network, the story was considered too political. Barbosa hoped to shoot it the following year in the 9pm time slot.Eriberto Leão was considered in the starring role for the first phase but was replaced by Rodrigo Santoro.

In 2015, the project was approved by Rede Globo and was set to premiere just after Êta Mundo Bom! at 6 pm timeslot.
