Interestingly, Giovana Cordeiro was not the first chosen to play Xaviera

Interestingly, Giovana Cordeiro was not the first chosen to play Xaviera. Before her, two actresses were tested for the character, but were not approved. Finally, Giovana was chosen to bring Mário Teixeira's ambitious wife to life. Previously, actress Luisa Arraes and Jessica Ellen were quoted. A few months later, in May, Jessica announced that she was pregnant, and so the character was played by Giovana.
