Power Couple, also known as Power Couple Brasil, is a Brazilian reality competition based on the Israeli television series זוג מנצח VIP. The series premiered on Tuesday, April 12, 2016 at 10:30 p.m. on Record.[2]
The show features celebrity couples living under one roof and facing extreme challenges that will test how well they really know each other. Each week, a couple will be eliminated until the last couple wins the grand prize.
The first two seasons of the show were hosted by Roberto Justus. From seasons three to four, Gugu Liberato took over as host, with production moving from São Paulo to Itapecerica da Serra. From season five onwards, Adriane Galisteu replaced Gugu, following his death in late 2019, becoming the show's first female host. In season seven, Felipe Andreoli and Rafa Brites succeeded Galisteu, marking the show's first dual-hosting duo.
The fifth season, originally scheduled for 2020, was postponed to 2021 due to safety concerns arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] On December 24, 2022, production for season seven was canceled for both 2023 and 2024, with A Grande Conquista replacing the show during that period.[4][5] However, on November 4, 2024, Record confirmed the show's return for 2025.[6]
