[edit] International remakes
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. In 2003, the Spanish public broadcaster TVE bought the rights to adapt the show. It did not go into production because of disagreements between the executives and THE Cris Morena Group. Also in 2003, Destiny, an independent company in Brazil, bought the rights and produced a pilot but it wasn't picked up by any network.
One of the first remakes to be made was Indian Remix. Produced by Rose Audio Visuals, it aired on Star One channel. As it was a hit among teenagers, it has returned on the same channel. In 2008, a Portuguese version of the same name was made by the channel SIC. Its first season started airing in September, but the second season was cancelled due to poor ratings. Corazón Rebelde is the Chilean remake of the show that aired from August 2009 on Canal 13 with the name of S.O.S. and Corazón Rebelde as the slogan. Two weeks after from the released of the show the name was changed to its previous slogan. It has had a good reception since it was released.
