Poderosas
television series
Poderosas is a Portuguese telenovela that was produced by SP Televisão and aired on SIC from 18 May 2015 to 20 May 2016. It was succeeded by Rainha das Flores (Queen of Flowers). The initial writing was done by Patrícia Müller, but later Pedro Lopes took over as Müller went on maternity leave. This telenovela marked the first soap opera in the second time slot.
The main roles in Poderosas were portrayed by Maria João Luís, Rogério Samora, Soraia Chaves, Joana Ribeiro, and Margarida Marinho.
Plot
This is the story of three women with different motives who unite to seek revenge against a man. Amélia (Soraia Chaves), Jacinta (Maria João Luís), and Luísa (Joana Ribeiro) are known as "As Poderosas" (The Powerful Ones). Their target is José Maria (Rogério Samora). Each woman has her own personal reasons: Amélia witnessed her mother's death and seeks justice, Jacinta was deceived and unfairly imprisoned, and Luísa wants to protect her family and heritage. As they confront the cunning and dangerous side of José Maria, they encounter various obstacles that extend beyond him.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Poderosas” as television series. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as television series. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q20060629. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2015 and 2016.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
