Renewed Or Cancelled?
Cangaço Novo, or New Bandits, is a new Amazon Prime Original, mixing familial drama, timely class and social issues with a dollop of action and thrills. The result is a bombastic 8 episode series, one that’s as stylishly produced as it is captivating to watch.
If you’ve finished watching this one, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know so far:
What is New Bandits (Cangaço Novo) Season 1 about?
The story centers around two individuals – Ubaldo Menino and Dinorah. The former is an ex-military man who now works for a bank in São Paulo. The latter is a bandit who ekes out a living with her comrades, including right-hand man, Lino.
When Ubaldo reveals documents inheriting lands from the biological father he never knew, a famous cangaceiro by the name of Amaro, he finds himself on a collision course with his past – and family.
Ubaldo sees the crippling poverty and struggles of those in Cretea first-hand and decides to cut a new deal with the bandits he aligns himself with, promising more lucrative bank heists in the future to help turn their fortunes around. After all, who better to orchestrate this than someone who has been on the inside?
The second half of New Bandits turns things political as Ubaldo’s childhood friend Leinneane and her husband, go up against the current mayor Gastao Maleiro. Dino and Dilvania have a bad history with this man, which escalates in episode 5 onwards. It’s here where we also find one why Dilvania doesn’t speak.
The latter episodes then basically coincide the political campaign to dethrone Gastao with Ubaldo and Dino’s continued efforts to change the fortunes of those in Cratara. It’s a neat format in truth, and there’s some good pay-offs in the final episode too. Most notably is a heart-warming conversation between Ubaldo and Ernesto.

Has New Bandits (Cangaço Novo) been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, Amazon have not renewed New Bandits (Cangaço Novo) for a second season. Given the nature of this series, that could change if it does good numbers for the streamers.
Generally Amazon, like other streaming platforms, gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate. With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly (ala. Squid Game, Bridgerton etc.) Other times, it can take months before Amazon make a decision over a show’s future. And
So far, New Bandits has had a good reaction from audiences and critics alike, with the series easy to watch and full of action and drama.
There’s certainly more that can be explored here, and with the ongoing strikes in Hollywood, Amazon will inevitably be looking at international TV to bolster out their roster. With all that in mind, we predict that Amazon will renew New Bandits for a follow-up season.
That could change of course, given the streamers don’t have a great track record with their renewals, but this has a lot of potential for a more intricate story.
We’ll be sure to update this section with accurate details over the coming weeks and months when we know more!
What we know about season 2 so far:
Not much is known about season 2 at the time of writing, given Amazon have not officially renewed this one yet. Should the streamers decide to greenlight this one, it’s fair to assume that we’ll have lots more drama, more action and our characters on the hunt for who started the fire.
Ubaldo is going to be on the warpath after his adoptive father’s death, and Dino too is going to want revenge, with the siblings likely to team up.
Amazon should make an official announcement several months from now, once the final viewing figures are in, but for now we’ll have to wait and see. We’ll be sure to update this section with more information as it becomes available.
