Gloob is a Brazilian children’s entertainment channel with Detetives do Prédio Azul, commonly abbreviated D.P.A., among its documented productions. The series combines young detectives, a shared setting and magical mysteries. Its television seasons and related cinema films use overlapping names, making the exact title important when looking for a particular story.

A documented television-season example
The official December 2025 announcement identifies D.P.A. – Invasão Bruxesca as the 21st television season, with 14 episodes. It introduces Roque, played by Kauã Torres, as the new yellow-cape detective, joining Mel and Zeca. Roque’s move to the building provides a character entry point within an established series.
For a new viewer, that combination of a recurring setting and a new arrival can help identify where a story belongs. A character name, cape color or season subtitle is often more precise than “the new D.P.A.” It distinguishes an individual television chapter from the wider franchise.
The film number is a different sequence
The same official announcement separately mentions D.P.A.4 – O Fantástico Reino de Ondion as a cinema film. Its 4 does not contradict the television season’s 21: the numbers refer to different production sequences. A film title and a season subtitle should therefore remain separate when searching for an episode or recalling a scene.
This distinction also affects viewing expectations. A season consists of multiple episodes; a cinema film is identified as a separate feature. Familiar characters or a shared fictional world do not make one format a replacement label for the other.
Gloob and Gloobinho have distinct editorial histories
Globo’s own historical account describes the 2017 creation of preschool-focused Gloobinho and an accompanying shift in Gloob’s target audience toward older children. That is a documented stage in the brands’ development, rather than a claim about an individual program’s current age classification.
D.P.A.’s recurring detectives and continuing season structure provide a concrete example of Gloob’s story-led identity. To identify the right item, retain the series name, subtitle and format together. Those details are more useful than treating every similarly branded children’s title as part of the same channel or episode sequence.
