TV Globinho adds Milena Moreira as host: what changed for the October 10 special

The confirmation of Milena Moreira as one of the hosts is the main new development for the TV Globinho special scheduled for October 10, 2026. The date, the one-off format and the connection to Criança Esperança had already been announced by Globo in August. What changed on September 18 was the public confirmation that Milena, known as Tia Milena and a former BBB 26 contestant, will help lead the program.

What changed with Milena Moreira's confirmation

Until mid-August, Globo had confirmed TV Globinho's temporary return but had not announced who would host the program or explained how the special would work. On September 18, F5, from Folha de S.Paulo, reported that Milena Moreira will be one of the hosts of the edition.

Milena also celebrated her participation on social media and recalled the period when she worked as a children's party entertainer. That connection with young audiences helps explain why the news drew attention, especially after viewers had already suggested her name when TV Globinho's return was announced in August.

What had already been confirmed before September 18

The official Gshow page had already established the main points of the return:

• the special will air on October 10, 2026, a Saturday;
• it will be shown during the morning;
• it will be a one-off special edition, not the announcement of a daily or weekly comeback;
• the program will be part of the Maratona da Esperança within Criança Esperança 2026;
• the marathon will run from October 10 to 12 and end with the Show da Esperança on the night of October 12.

So the September update does not change the date or turn the project into a regular season. It adds a missing piece from the initial announcement: who will be leading the special edition.

Will Milena be the only host?

As of September 18, Globo has not published a complete official cast list on its special page. F5 describes Milena as one of the hosts, which indicates that presentation duties will be shared.

A September 17 report by ANMTV, citing O Globo's Coluna Play, listed Geovanna Tominaga, Letícia Colin, Ícaro Silva and Paulo Mathias Jr. among the names expected to return and referred to Milena as a participant. Because the sources use different wording for each person's exact role, the split between hosting duties, appearances and special segments still needs to be detailed by the broadcaster.

Why Milena's presence is a relevant update

When Globo announced the special edition on August 12, the confirmation focused on the return of the format and its connection to the Criança Esperança campaign. CNN Brasil reported at the time that Milena's name was already appearing in fan requests on social media, but Globo had not announced any hosts.

The September 18 news therefore turns a name suggested by viewers into a confirmed presence in the team leading the special. It is an incremental update, but an important one for readers who already knew the date and wanted to understand how the 2026 edition would begin to take shape.

What is still unknown about the October 10 special

Even with Milena confirmed, several relevant details still lack a complete official announcement:

• the exact start and end time within Saturday morning;
• the final list of hosts and guests and each person's role;
• which cartoons, series, segments or archive material will be included;
• whether there will be recorded segments, live portions or a combination of both;
• how the program will balance nostalgia, children's content and Criança Esperança activities.

Secondary reports indicate that the special may air after the first part of É de Casa, but the official Gshow page checked on September 18 still states only that TV Globinho will air in the morning. For viewing plans, the official schedule remains something to watch closer to the date.

Does the special mean TV Globinho is returning permanently?

No. So far, Globo describes the project as a one-off special edition. There is no confirmation of a new season, a weekly return or a permanent revival of the children's block. The event is part of Criança Esperança 2026 and takes advantage of its proximity to Brazil's Children's Day on October 12.

Summary of what is confirmed

For anyone already following the comeback announcement, the genuinely new information is Milena Moreira's addition to the hosting team. The main framework is unchanged: TV Globinho returns on October 10 in the morning for a single Criança Esperança special, while the exact schedule, attractions and division of roles still await further details.
