Several Netflix shows have been mercilessly canceled after just a season or two, with very few enjoying a long run. One of the rare exceptions is Sintonia, which became one of the streaming platform's longest-running Brazilian series. The crime thriller show enjoyed a successful five-season run, with its final season premiering in February 2025.

Now, more than a year later, the story is getting a feature-length treatment. Titled Nando Between Two Worlds, the film is set to arrive on Netflix soon. So, here is everything you need to know about its cast, plot, and release date ahead of its premiere.
