This article aims to discuss the contemporary challenges in considering the role of historical-biographical fictional series in the realm of memory, insofar as these series intertwine memory and history, thereby stimulating public remembrance of the past. The theoretical framework of this investigation seeks to establish a dialogue with memory studies, in an effort to critically understand the ephemeral and malleable nature of memory, and, above all, the relationship that historical-biographical series form in the way we collectively remember and attribute new meanings to the historical past. In this understanding, this study assumes the premise of subverting the superficial treatment of historical narratives in fictional audiovisual works, advocating for the development of a literacy that critically empowers audiences, in collaboration with professionals from various fields, thereby expanding the critical awareness that historical-biographical series exert on the ways in which we remember in society.
