Paramount+ will release the Brazilian series “Anderson Spider Silva” in the United States March 7. It premiered internationally March 5 across Latin America.
The biographical series chronicles Anderson’s path to becoming one of the most important athletes in the sport of MMA. Born in São Paulo and raised by his aunt and uncle on the outskirts of Curitiba, Anderson faced a challenging childhood and found in martial arts a transformative path. From an early age, he practiced Taekwondo, Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai, disciplines in which he earned black belts.
The series stars William Nascimento, Bruno Vinicius, and Caetano Vieira portraying Anderson Silva in his adult, teenage, and childhood phases, respectively. Singer and actor Seu Jorge plays the fighter’s uncle, while Tatiana Tiburcio portrays Anderson’s aunt, both responsible for his upbringing.
The production follows his journey from his first steps in the sport to his entry into the professional fighting world, highlighting the achievement of his first title in Japan, a decisive milestone in his international rise. Anderson Silva would later become one of the greatest champions in MMA history, defending the belt with a perfect record and remaining undefeated for seven years.
The cast also includes Douglas Silva, Jean Paulo Campos, Jeniffer Dias, Larissa Nunes, Milhem Cortaz and Vaneza Oliveira.
Paramount+ touted the series as reinforcing the streamer as the home of the UFC. The series is nominated for an International Emmy Award in the Best Miniseries category.
