Fateful Dawn(2026)

Fateful Dawn is a Portuguese drama series that weaves together environmental activism, legal intrigue, and a haunting cold case.

Fifteen years after a traumatic night involving rape and a hit-and-run, Maria is forced to confront fragmented memories and rebuild her case. Suspicion falls on Filipe, but the truth remains elusive.
