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). It is a remake of the Argentine telenovela, Rebelde Way, adapted for the Mexican youth audience, leading to differences in characters' backgrounds. Reblede originally aired from Monday, October 4, 2004 to Friday, June 2, 2006. It was replaced with Código Postal.
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 – 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) – 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 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.
Univision aired Rebelde weekdays afternoon at 3pm/2c from Monday, March 21, 2005 to December 15, 2006, replacing Corazones al límite. The last episode was broadcast on Friday, December 15, 2006, with Las dos caras de Ana replacing it on Monday, December 18, 2006.
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 (Anahí), Roberta (Dulce María), Miguel (Alfonso Herrera), Diego (Christopher von Uckermann), Lupita (Maite Perroni) and Giovanni (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 telenovela conceived the idea of the musical group to promote both the characters and the telenovela itself. The project quickly surpassed the telenovela itself in success, so much so that it can now be considered as a separate concept (as Erreway of Rebelde Way did in Argentina). The telenovela was a great promotion for the group since the telenovela gave rise to the great idea of forming the musical group RBD, which is one of the most impressive in the Latin pop genre and has had great success not only in Spanish-speaking countries but also in countries in which Portuguese and English are spoken for their albums released for sale in other languages. The success of Rebelde was so great that in the third season it decided to lengthen the duration of the episodes to one hour and a half, being the first telenovela with such duration.
