After moving Brazil to tears during its national premiere on TV Globo and topping the charts among Globoplay’s movies, the TV movie *Meu Avô Stanislau* once again posted impressive viewership figures in Paraná, confirming its strong connection with the local audience and underscoring the potential of the audiovisual industry in the state.
On the afternoon of February 28, 2026, during a special rebroadcast on RPC, Globo’s affiliate in Paraná, the TV movie reached approximately 930,000 viewers in Paraná, leading its time slot by a wide margin. The performance exceeded the combined total of all other free-to-air broadcasters by 247%, in addition to recording higher viewership than major digital platforms during the same period, demonstrating the strength of free-to-air television and the reach of high-quality regional content produced in the state.
This result cements a successful track record that began with its national premiere on February 2, 2026, when *Meu Avô Stanislau* had already posted strong results in Paraná, reaching over 800,000 local viewers and scoring a 13.1 rating in Curitiba—one of the best regional performances in that time slot.
Produced entirely in Paraná and filmed in Prudentópolis, *Meu Avô Stanislau* has become a model of national and regional reach, demonstrating that local stories, when combined with creative excellence and industrial capacity, can engage millions of viewers across different broadcast windows. RPC itself highlighted the work as a milestone for Paraná’s audiovisual industry, noting that the production has already moved more than 20 million Brazilians since its premiere.
The TV movie’s success also reinforces a historic partnership between GP7 Cinema and RPC, built over more than a decade of collaboration on drama and audiovisual content projects.
Between 2009 and 2014, the production company produced 27 episodes of fiction for the segment “Casos e Causos,” aired during prime time on the electronic magazine “Revista RPC,” immediately following “Fantástico,” bringing regional drama to thousands of households in Paraná every week.
In 2011, the partnership gave rise to another important milestone: the miniseries *Colônia Cecília – Uma História de Amor e Utopia* (Colônia Cecília – A Story of Love and Utopia), directed by Guto Pasko. With four episodes, this period piece depicted the true story of the Italian anarchist colony established in Palmeira, in the interior of Paraná, and represented one of the greatest production challenges in the production company’s early history, including the construction of a set village to recreate the period between 1890 and 1894.
For Guto Pasko, the success of *My Grandfather Stanislau* represents the culmination of a journey built over many years.
“Seeing *Meu Avô Stanislau* once again draw nearly one million viewers in Paraná alone reinforces something we’ve always believed: stories produced with a local identity can achieve national relevance. Our partnership with RPC began more than 15 years ago and has been helping to build, project after project, a solid foundation for the development of drama in Paraná. The success of this TV movie shows that today Paraná has the talent, infrastructure, and production capacity to deliver premium content to any market player, right from Curitiba.”
With impressive results on broadcast television, streaming platforms, and regional impact, *Meu Avô Stanislau* has established itself not only as a ratings success but also as a symbol of the creative and industrial maturity of Paraná’s audiovisual sector.
