The cast includes singer Muse Maya, who was disqualified from “Estrela da Casa” before the premiere
New musical reality
Netflix launched this Tuesday (11/12) the first four episodes of “Nova Cena”, the first Brazilian musical reality show in streaming. The contest pits 18 artists in competition to reveal new national rap talent.
Among the contestants, “Nova Cena” featured actress and singer Muse Maya, who was disqualified from the first season of “Estrela da Casa” three days before the premiere. Globo terminated the artist’s participation after discovering that he had already recorded the Netflix reality show, fearing that his presence would be used to advertise the rival attraction.
At the time the broadcaster limited itself to saying that Muse Maya had to abandon the music competition due to “contractual impediments”, without providing further details about the disqualification. She was replaced by Thália from Rio, who came in 8th place. Finally, Netflix never mentioned his casting on Globo.
Who is the Mayan muse?
