## Synopsis

AlRawabi School for Girls (2021-2024) is a Jordanian teen drama series created by Tima Shomali for Netflix. Mariam (Andria Tayeh) leads a group of bullied outcasts at the prestigious Al Rawabi School for Girls, where Sarah (Tara Abboud), Layan (Noor Taher) and Tasneem (Sarah Yousef) are targeted by wealthy classmates. Their engine is a hunger for payback: each episode builds a risky takedown against the girls who tormented them, and every scheme threatens to expose their own secrets and fragile standing. The series unfolds over two seasons of six fifty-minute episodes each, a serialized arc in which the schemes escalate and consequences pile up. Set in contemporary Jordan, it captures the pressures of privileged private school life, family expectations and the sting of social exclusion. The tone is tense and emotionally raw, with moments of wit and sharp friendship, and its themes of class, cruelty and loyalty recall the school intrigue of Elite and the teen revenge plotting of Pretty Little Liars. Fans of arab youth drama and binge friendly teen thrillers will find resonance here.
