First 'Smiley' & now another queer Spanish language Netflix series just got the chop
Another week, another great, queer-inclusive television show gets the axe…
We’re sad to report that Netflix’s Spanish-language drama Rebelde won’t be returning for a third season, closing the curtain on the musical teen soap.
The Mexican series was a belated sequel to a telenovela of the same name, which ran for two seasons, from 2004 to 2006, and was itself an adaptation of the hit Argentinian series Rebelde Way, which ran from 2002 to 2003.
The original Rebelde was something of a pre-cursor to Elite, set in a prestigious private academy called the Elite Way School, but with a unique musical spin (and decidedly less steamy scenes in the school locker room).

This is happening across multiple platforms. "Smiley" was very good! I am pissed they axed it. "Uncoupled" was fun, and of course, ended on a fucking cliff-hanger.
Back to the closets everyone.
