Rebelde (English: Rebel) is a Mexican telenovela produced by Pedro Damián for Televisa, broadcast by Canal de las Estrellas (now known simply as Las Estrellas).[1] It is a remake of the Argentine telenovela, Rebelde Way, adapted for the Mexican youth audience, leading to differences in characters' backgrounds. Rebelde originally aired from 4 October 2004 to 2 June 2006, being replaced with Código Postal on 5 June.[2][3] Univision aired Rebelde on weekdays afternoon at 3pm/2c starting on 21 March 2005 replacing Corazones al límite. The last episode was broadcast on 15 December 2006, with Las dos caras de Ana replacing it on 18 December.

The show stars Anahí, Dulce María, Alfonso Herrera, and Christopher von Uckermann, with Maite Perroni in her debut role, and Christian Chávez.[4] The adult protagonists are Juan Ferrara, and Ninel Conde in a stellar performance, with Enrique Rocha and Tony Dalton portraying the antagonists. Due to its school setting, the telenovela contains an ensemble cast, including Angelique Boyer, Estefanía Villarreal, Karla Cossío, Zoraida Gómez, Jack Duarte, and Eddy Vilard.[5] The first actors Hector Gómez and Lourdes Canale also appear in the telenovela.[6]

Rebelde is set in the Elite Way School, a prestigious private boarding school on the outskirts of Mexico City, with a major plot line revolving around six adolescent students forming a band. Additional subplots involve the school's faculty and the students' parents. One trademark of the telenovela is the random use of English words and phrases, often used by fresa characters.

Another notable aspect of the show is that the actors playing the band members are themselves in an actual group named RBD and perform most of the music used on the telenovela, including the opening theme song, "Rebelde". The group achieved international success from 2004 until their separation in 2009 and sold over 15 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling Latin music acts of all time.

In 2021, Netflix announced a reboot of the show, set for release the following year. The series, also titled Rebelde, was released on 5 January 2022, and is set 16 years after the end of the soap opera.[7]

Plot

The Elite Way School is a private boarding school with international prestige where high-class students receive a high level of education to be prepared for a great future. The school has a scholarship program for people with low financial resources who have an excellent academic level. However, few even graduate since they are persecuted by a secret society called "La Logia" ("The Lodge"), whose purpose is to conserve the purity of the privileged class. Among the students are Mía Colucci Cáceres (Anahí), Roberta Pardo Rey (Dulce María), Miguel Arango Cervera (Alfonso Herrera), Diego Bustamante (Christopher von Uckermann), Guadalupe "Lupita" Fernández (Maite Perroni) and Giovanni Méndez López (Christian Chávez). Six adolescents who, despite their differences, discover something that will unite them above all – their love for music.

RBD

One of the topics that marked the success of the telenovela was the formation of a group named RBD (abbreviation for "ReBelDe"). The production of the series conceived the idea of the musical group to promote both the characters and the show itself. The project quickly surpassed the telenovela in success, so much so that it can now be considered as a separate concept (as Erreway of Rebelde Way did in Argentina). The series was a great promotion for the group since it was able to reach all of Latin America, United States, and several European nations. The group is one of the most impressive in the Latin pop genre and has had great success in Hispanic countries, the U.S. and even Brazil, where the telenovela and the group were highly successful. The show's success was so great that during the third season, the producers decided to lengthen the time of the episodes to one hour and a half, being the first telenovela with such duration.
