Sob Pressão (English: Under Pressure) is a Brazilian medical drama television series created by Luiz Noronha, Cláudio Torres, Renato Fagundes and Jorge Furtado based on the 2016 film of the same name (which was inspired by the Márcio Maranhão book Sob Pressão: A Rotina de Guerra de Um Médico Brasileiro). The series is a co-production of Conspiração Filmes and TV Globo, and premiered on 25 July 2017, on TV Globo.[1]
The series follows the emergency department doctors and nurses of a precarious public hospital in Rio de Janeiro.[2] Júlio Andrade (Dr. Evandro), Marjorie Estiano (Dr. Carolina) and Stepan Nercessian (Samuel) all reprised their movie roles for the television series.
Production for the first season started at the beginning of March 2017. Filming began 10 April 2017.[3] TV Globo renewed the show for a second season in May 2017, before the first one even started airing.[4] The second season premiered on 9 October 2018.
In May 2018, the series was renewed for a third season.[5]
Inside a chaotic emergency room in Rio de Janeiro, a team of doctors are torn between their internal personal conflicts, the difficulties of the profession and the surprising dramas behind each patient's history, in a heroic attempt to save lives. A talented surgeon and a faith-driven doctor will find strength in each other to face this extremely harsh routine.
Sob Pressão premiered on 25 July 2017 on TV Globo in Brazil. In Portugal, the series began airing on 1 December 2017 on RTP1.[6] Teleamazonas acquired the broadcast rights for Ecuador and began airing the series on 4 September 2018.[7] In Italy the series premiered on Sky Atlantic on 3 October 2018.[8] In Argentina, the series began airing on 1 January 2019 on Telefe.[9]
Aired in Brazil since 25 July, in Globo's late prime time, the series attracts a high audience, reaching an average of more than 38 million viewers per episode.[10]
