The director, who was responsible for developing major programs, in addition to creating reality shows such as “Big Brother Brasil” and “No Limite”, published a text on his official account giving more details about the end of his partnership with the broadcaster.

”It's time to fly solo. After 40 years at TV Globo, I decided to follow other paths. I confess that the plan was to retire from this company that is part of who I am and a great supporter of my passion. But at 62 years old, it is exactly the passion I have, which is stronger than ever, that motivated me to take on the new challenges that have arisen. I'm still crazy about doing television and excited about the possibilities that lie in my future. So, even though I had a loving proposal from Globo to continue together, I decided to move on to new directions, with challenges that the position I was in didn't always allow me to take. A decision that Globo welcomed kindly, as has always been our relationship. Ah, TV Globo, I love you so much. Continue to be this powerhouse of talent, courage, innovation, success”, wrote Boninho in one of the excerpts.

The director also revealed that he is excited about the possibilities that could happen to him and that the person who will take on the next projects will be Rodrigo Dourado.
