Hulu's Brazilian Rom-Com "Benefits With Friends" Premieres February 12, 2025 – Here’s Everything You Need to Know!
Love, friendship, and a whole lot of drama are coming your way this Valentine's season! Hulu is all set to drop its brand-new Brazilian romantic comedy series, Benefits With Friends, on February 12, 2025. And guess what? The season premiere will kick off with not one but two exciting episodes to get you hooked from the start. With its fresh take on love and modern relationships, this coming-of-age series promises a delightful mix of humor, romance, and those oh-so-relatable friendship dilemmas.
A Sneak Peek into the Plot
Created by Matheus Souza, Benefits With Friends revolves around the lives of two inseparable best friends—Bia, a struggling actress (played by Bruna Marquezine), and Victor (Sergio Malheiros). The duo navigates the ups and downs of relationships while holding on to their unshakable bond.
Directed by Rene Sampaio and Matheus Souza, the official synopsis teases:
“Bia and Victor are best friends. While he lives in a relationship that has gotten boring, she has fleeting relationships, without believing in love. But no matter what stage of life they are in, their friendship seems unshakable, until Bia meets Marcelo and believes she has found the right person.”
Now, what happens when that unshakable bond is put to the test? Expect sparks, emotions, and some truly hilarious moments as Bia and Victor figure out where they really stand in each other’s lives.
A Trailer Packed With Drama, Laughs, and Real-Life Struggles
Hulu recently dropped the official trailer, and it’s already making waves! The opening scene sets the tone as we see a heartbroken Bia in tears after yet another breakup. Just as her best friend Victor consoles her, her sadness takes an unexpected turn—she bursts into laughter. In the background, we hear her voiceover:
“This is me now after another breakup.”
Talk about a rollercoaster of emotions!
As the trailer unfolds, we see glimpses of Bia diving into new relationships, only to realize none of them truly fulfill her. In a moment of self-reflection, she confesses:
“I’m a hoarder of relationships that mean nothing.”
On the other hand, Victor, though seemingly settled, is stuck in a monotonous relationship that lacks excitement. The contrast between their love lives is striking—Bia keeps searching for something real, while Victor might just be holding on to something that’s already lost its spark.
The trailer also sheds light on Bia’s professional struggles. In one audition scene, she faces rejection simply because she doesn’t have enough social media followers. Frustrated and exhausted, she vents:
“I’m almost. Almost the prettiest, almost the talented, almost the funniest.”
Between heartbreaks, auditions, and a little too much tequila, Bia and Victor’s journey is both heartfelt and hilarious. And just when you think things couldn’t get more complicated, a drunk Bia leans in to kiss Victor! What follows? A chaotic yet adorable banter between two confused besties. Are they just friends? Is there something more? You’ll have to watch to find out!
