Os Donos do Jogo (Rulers of Fortune) is a new Netflix crime drama series from Brazil whose global premiere takes place on October 29, 2025. Os Donos do Jogo follows the complicated business of the syndicates of organized crime in Rio de Janeiro and the war between the old-school syndicates and the warriors who are trying to succeed them.

Power, religion, deceit, and the ethical price of climbing a rung higher on a ladder of criminality are the unifying themes of the series. Official press release and teaser news from Netflix verify that the tagline is: "Power isn't earned, it's taken, and every alliance comes with a price."

The tagline encapsulates the title of Rulers of Fortune, i.e., stakes so high, changing sides, and tension never dropping in the underworld world, like here in the series.

Rulers of Fortune will be released on October 29, 2025. Although Netflix did not make an official announcement regarding the release region-wise, the series is ready to be watched to view globally through subscribers' accounts.

The series is TV-MA, i.e., mature content, with crime scenes, violence, and mature themes.


Rulers of Fortune streaming details

The viewers can stream Rulers of Fortune on Netflix alone. There will be a Portuguese audio track with cross-border multilingual dub and subtitles. This preserves the original language and culture but brings it to the remotest corners of the globe.

Availability worldwide through Netflix provides streaming from any number of devices such as smart TVs, computers, tablets, and phones to accidental viewers as well as binge viewers.


What to expect from the first episode

The pilot will be introducing the audiences face-to-face with Profeta Moraes, a young man from the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro in pursuit of power in the city's crime gaming underworld. The series brings conflict between the Moraes family and already established criminal families such as the Guerra, Fernandez, and Saad families.

Trailers hint at competition, ambition, and ethics problems, but officially released scene-by-scene pilot episode synopsis descriptions released by Netflix are not public knowledge.

The series has announced the following cast:

André Lamoglia as Profeta Moraes: Future new gaming dynasty star.

Production and direction

Production is on realistic representations of Rio suburbs and gangs and blends crime drama and character development.


Thus, Rulers of Fortune is a Brazilian crime drama series, and it is Netflix's original series. The series will be available on 29 October 2025. The series is inspired by the lives of ambition scenes, rivalry, and complicated family ties of Rio de Janeiro criminals. The cast and crew have been confirmed, and the series will be available globally everywhere on Netflix with original sound in Portuguese and international subtitles or dubbing.

Though not as much said on the episode order nominally, Rulers of Fortune is a high-crime series with high-end material and complex plotting. Netflix's slogan, Power isn't earned, it's taken, and every alliance comes with a price, says it all about the thematic interest and tone of the series and gives viewers a gritty take on what they are to expect from this international crime drama.
