'State of Fear', The First Spin-Off of a Netflix Brazil Production, Premieres February 11

São Paulo, January 14, 2026 - Netflix releases the first images of the action movie State of Fear , which premieres February 11. Directed by Pedro Morelli and produced by O2 Filmes, the feature is the first spin-off of a Netflix Brazil series, Brotherhood , created by Morelli. With two seasons released in 2019 and 2022, the production has reached over 10 million views worldwide.

In State of Fear , the members of the Brotherhood face a critical moment when their main leaders are transferred to maximum-security prisons, threatening the group's stability. Elisa (Camilla Damião), the 18-year-old daughter of Edson (Seu Jorge), founder of the Brotherhood, was raised on the periphery of crime and is kidnapped by corrupt police officers. As her aunt Cristina (Naruna Costa) tries to rescue her, the gang orders the "State of Fear," a wave of violent attacks against police stations and security forces that plunges the city of São Paulo into chaos. In the midst of the turmoil, Elisa and Cristina grapple with dilemmas of justice and violence as the choices of the past and present collide to shape their destinies.

Netflix's action film State of Fear stands out for its use of long, complex tracking shots as a central element of its visual language, enhancing the intensity of the narrative and the viewer's immersion. The screenplay is written by Julia Furrer and Pedro Morelli, with production by Andrea Barata Ribeiro, co-production by Cristina Abi and cinematography by Kauê Zilli. In addition to Naruna Costa and Camilla Damião, the cast includes David Santos, Elzio Vieira, Enio Cavalcante, Hermila Guedes, Lee Taylor, Marcélia Cartaxo, Seu Jorge, Stefani Mota and Samurai Cria.
