Rebelde: Netflix cancels LGBTQ+ inclusive series after two seasons
Netflix has cancelled the Rebelde reboot after two seasons. Back in January 2022, the streamer released the first season of the teen drama, which is a sequel series to the popular 2004 telenovela of the same name.
Set at the fictional Elite Way School, the show follows first-year students MJ, Andi, Luka, Esteban, Dixon, and Jana as they form a band and pursue their dreams of music stardom.
The official synopsis reads: “As Elite Way School starts a new term, a familiar enemy–a secret society called The Lodge–threatens to crash the musical hopes of first-years.” Following its January release, the series received rave reviews from RBD fans and critics for its dramatic storylines, chemistry amongst the cast, and evolving elements from past Rebelde iterations.
LGBTQ+ viewers also lauded the show for featuring three queer main characters, including openly gay teen Luka (Franco Masini), lesbian drummer Andi (Lizeth Selene) and Emilia, who identifies as bisexual.
