Rebelde Way ("Rebel's Way") was an Argentine telenovela produced by Cris Morena. The series ran for two seasons, the final episode airing in Argentina on 2004.
The series is set in the Elite Way School, a prestigious private boarding middle school near Buenos Aires, attended by the adolescent children of some of Argentina's wealthiest citizens, as well as gifted "becados" (students with scholarships). The school's faculty and the parents often have their own subplots as well. One feature of the show is the regular use of English words and phrases to accurately display the lack of manners and buffoonish behavior of the upper class.
One of the series' major plot lines revolves around a group of students forming a band. The actors who play the members of this band are also a real band, written Erreway to distinguish it from the show. Erreway perform most of the music used on the show, and have been extremely successful in their own right, becoming one of the highest-grossing acts in Argentina and touring internationally.

Rebelde Way was extremely popular in Argentina, becoming the highest-rated show on Canal 9 soon after its premiere. Luisana Lopilato became a regular on magazine covers and in gossip magazines, as did Camila Bordonaba, Felipe Colombo and Benjamin Rojas. The four also made several trips to Israel, where the show's popularity was almost as great as in Argentina.[citation needed]
Rebelde Way was also syndicated in Germany and Austria, where it aired on Nickelodeon Germany, and in Austria. It was aired in Romania on TVR2 with the name of "Rebelii"; in Bosnia and Herzegovina on OBN (2007); in Greece on ET1 (2006); in Serbia on B92 (2007); in the Republic of Macedonia on A1 Televizija (2005/6), and in Cyprus on ANT (2007). It was also aired in Spain, Portugal, Panama, Colombia and Russia.
The basic plot and situation of Rebelde Way was also remade for various countries around the world. In each version the plot was the same and centered around a student musical group performing within the telenovela.
Rebelde was the Mexican remake of the show, initially aired in Mexico on Televisa. Although the school retained the same name, the band around whom the show's storyline revolved was renamed RBD. Rebelde was also internationally successful, and has been shown in Mexico, the United States, Brazil, and other Latin American countries, lasting for three seasons, from 2004 until 2006. The group RBD was even more successful, releasing more than five albums, and touring Mexico, United States, Brazil, Chile, Europe, and Asia, remaining active today.
Remix was the Indian remake of the show, initially aired in India on STAR One. For this version the band was renamed Remix, and the school was renamed Maurya High. The show began in November 2004 and ended on July 2006, and was successful among teenagers in the country.[citation needed]
Versions of Rebelde Way were made in Brazil and Spain in 2006, but the pilots were not picked up by any channel in either country. This was partly due to the popularity of the Mexican remake, and the band RBD, in both countries.
