Segundo Sol (English title: A Second Chance^[2]) is a Brazilian telenovela produced and broadcast by TV Globo that premiered on 14 May 2018, replacing O Outro Lado do Paraíso, and ended on 9 November 2018, being replaced by O Sétimo Guardião, with a total of 155 episodes. It is created by João Emanuel Carneiro and directed by Dennis Carvalho.

Set in both 1999 and present time, in Bahia, Segundo Sol gives a trajectory of singer, Beto Falcão, who is forced to fake his death in order to save his family from financial turmoil. In his new identity, named Miguel, he meets Luzia, fishmonger and a mother of two, and an estranged wife to a dead beat; they become romantically involved. Karola, Beto's ex-girlfriend and Laureta Bottini, a brothel-keeper, frame Luzia in the murder of her husband and she is forced to flee, leaving her children behind. Nearly two decades later, Luzia returns as Ariella, a DJ and tries to rebuild her life by reuniting with her children, clearing her name, and rekindle her love story with Beto / Miguel.

The show stars Giovanna Antonelli, Adriana Esteves, Emílio Dantas, Deborah Secco, Vladimir Brichta, together with a large ensemble cast.

Set in Salvador in 1999, in the historic district of Santo Antonio, lives the Falcão family. Beto, one of the four sons of Dodô and Nana, made his fame as a singer of axé, but for about three years he has experienced the bitter taste of ostracism. The family earns their livelihood from the crab bar in the same house where they live, but runs the risk of losing their home because of the mismanagement of Beto's career by his manager and brother Remy, the "black sheep" son. To help pay part of the debt, Beto agrees to perform in Aracaju, when the plane he had planned to take crashes at sea and he is presumed dead. Due to the unexpected nationwide commotion, the singer is convinced by Remy and his girlfriend Karola — with whom his relationship is very shaken — to continue passing off as a deceased man by staying in the fictional island of Boiporã. It is at this moment the troubled Beto meets Luzia (Giovanna Antonelli), a fishwife, abandoned by her husband, fending alone for her young children. The two fall in love and soon make plans for marriage, without her knowing the true identity of Beto, who presents himself as Miguel. Hostage of a large plot orchestrated by Karola and Laureta (Adriana Esteves), the couple ends up separated. They find her ex-husband and he tries to kill Beto but Luzia ends up killing him. Luzia, now a fugitive, flees to Iceland, with the help of Goa (André Dias) where she becomes famous as DJ Ariela.
