Premise
editIt is set in a fictional high school in Madrid.[4] Coexistence at the Instituto Anna Frank has become untenable.[5] If the high school is to remain open, a way out of the news events pages needs to be found. Ester, the director of the centre, seeks help from Hugo Ibarra Toledo (HIT),[5] an unconventional educator.
The second season moves to the IES León Felipe, in Puertollano, where Ibarra tries to help a group of nine vocational training students.[6] Upon Ibarra's eventual relapse into alcoholism, he meets up again with Lena (an alumn from the Anna Frank) in a rehab centre.[7]

Production and release
editCreated by Joaquín Oristrell, the latter co-directed the series together with Álvaro Fernández Armero and Elena Trapé.[12] Shooting started by January 2020,[13] taking place in Madrid.[14] Following a hiatus caused by the COVID-19 lockdown, it resumed on 22 June 2020 and it wrapped on 24 July 2020.[15][12] The release date of the series was also delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[14] The first episode was pre-screened at the 23rd Málaga Film Festival on 27 August 2020.[16]
The first episode premiered on 21 September 2020, commanding a 10% share of the audience, and remained roughly stable for the rest of the series (10 episodes), with a 9.2% average.[18] Following the good audience results (the most watched Spanish free-to-air fiction series in the season) and a good critical reception, the renovation of the series for a second season was announced in November 2020.[19]
Filming of season 2 started in May 2021 in Mejorada del Campo.[10] Season 2 (consisting also of 10 episodes)[20] brought a wholly new fictional setting in Puertollano and a revamped cast, with three actors returning: Daniel Grao, Rebeca Sala and Luisa Vides.[10] The writing team, led by Oristrell, also featured Yolanda García Serrano, Jacobo Delgado, Luis Caballero and Pablo Bartolomé.[10] Directors of season 2 include Elena Trapé and Polo Menarguez.[10] The first episode of season 2 was pre-screened on 9 September 2021 at Cine Callao in Madrid.[21] The trailer for season 2 was released afterwards.[22] The series' first season began airing on RTL Deutschland's TVNOW on 15 September 2021.[23] On 14 October 2021, RTVE disclosed the 21 October 2021 premiere date,[24] later revealing a pre-screening on RTVE Play predating by some hours the linear broadcasting on La 1.[25]
On 20 April 2022, RTVE announced the renovation of the series for a third season, to be shot in La Palma.[26]
