A fresh format lands today
We've just seen the first four episodes of Mom Knows Best? drop on Netflix. The Brazilian reality show, hosted by Claudia Raia, puts nine mothers in a secret viewing room while their children think they're simply moving into student housing for challenges and trials. The mums bet on how their kids will behave, with the chance to win up to R$1 million if they prove they know them best.
Part two arrives next week
The remaining three episodes premiere on 2 September, again only on Netflix. Produced by BOXFISH and Farra, the series mixes humour, emotion and high-stakes guesses across the full seven-episode run. UK viewers can stream both parts as soon as they land without any extra cost beyond a standard Netflix subscription.
How it fits the UK streaming picture
Our TV section tracks new arrivals like this one because they add variety to the platform's non-English slate. The show explores a universal parent-child dynamic that travels well, even if the setting and language are Brazilian. No mid-contract price rises or extra fees apply here; you simply need an active Netflix plan to watch.
What viewers need to know
Episodes are available immediately after release with no UK-specific blackout. If you already subscribe, there's nothing else to do except hit play. The format rewards binge-watching the first batch before the second arrives, giving families and groups something light and relatable to discuss.
