Netflix has announced a second season of AlRawabi School for Girls

The Arabic Original became a regional hit when it was released on the streaming platform in August 2021. The series is set in a fictional girls’ school and traces the oscillating highs and lows of adolescence. Its honest portrayal of contemporary issues, from bullying to social alienation, doesn’t linger on the perspective of one character for too long, instead offering a kaleidoscopic vision of the experiences unfolding at the upscale school.

Netflix creatively announced the show’s renewal with a letter issued by the AlRawabi School for Girls Administration to its student body ahead of the school year. It has yet to set a release date.

“We look forward to welcoming you back to AlRawabi School for Girls,” the letter reads. “When we return, we promise a fresh and exciting perspective, and urge you to bring renewed energy to the year ahead.” A video was also posted showing aerial shots of a yellow school bus heading towards campus, which ends as the vehicle drives through the gates. Tima Shomali and Shirin Kamal will return to the series as creators and executive producers, in collaboration with writer and executive producer Islam Alshomali. Shomali will also reprise her role as the show’s director.
