Production
Originally, Mauro Wilson's unpublished drama Conta Comigo was to be the replacement for Família é Tudo in the seven o'clock slot, as announced at the TV Globo's 2024 Upfront event, held on 18 October 2023. However, in February 2024, the drama was shelved by the broadcaster, claiming that the main premise, with one of the antagonists coming to power after being elected to political office and becoming corrupted in the process, could have negative repercussions, since the plot would premiere in the middle of the municipal elections. Originally scheduled to air in 2025, the broadcaster decided to fast-track Claudia Souto's drama to replace Família é Tudo. André Câmara was chosen by Souto to be the director of the telenovela. The telenovela was tentatively titled Mão Dupla, but the title was later changed to Volta por Cima. Filming began on 2 July 2024, with Ilha do Governador as one of the backdrops.
