Netflix’s “Time Hustler” or “O Cangaceiro do Futuro” created by Halder Gomes is a Brazilian comedy tv series that follows a financially strapped and immoral father named Virguley who finds it difficult to pay all the bills associated with living in a big city. However, there is one thing that makes him special, and that is the fact that he resembles the 20th-century bandit leader Lampião. One day he gets into a fight and is so badly beaten that he allows himself to be transported to 1927, where the locals mistake him for Lampiã due to his uncanny resemblance.
Realizing the advantages of this situation, Virguley sets out on the tide, pretending to be the real leader of the bandits. But when he crosses paths with the real Lampião, things get complicated for him. The time travel theme combined with all the comedic elements makes for a hilarious and entertaining watch. The smooth transition from a modern city to an arid region in the 1920s reflects the change in Virguley’s life. So it’s only natural that you wonder where “Time Hustler” is filmed.

Several pivotal sequences for the series took place in the municipality of Quixadá, particularly around the Sertão Central Ce. Reportedly, a key part of Season 1 filming took place in a mini stage town still in the municipality, built mainly for the show due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
