Among her news, the highlights are her debut in fiction with a book planned for this year's Book Fair, the lead role in the series "Delegacia de Homicídios" on Disney+, and a role in the psychological thriller "Sombras," alongside Reynaldo Gianecchini and Louise Cardoso, with a release scheduled for the second half of 2027.

Peter Sloterdijk, one of the most influential contemporary philosophers, is the guest on the new episode of Expresso's philosophy podcast, where he reflects on the relationship between magic, technology, and war. The German philosopher argues that the mechanisms that shape the modern world are a rationalised continuation of ancient magical impulses, and explores the concept of "telemalignity" to analyse how the capacity to act at a distance defines the human experience in the age of drones, missiles, and global technologies. The conversation was recorded live in English, in Cascais.
