Dream School‘s earned a second season at SundanceTV, with Curtis 50 Cent Jackson and Chuck D executive producing. Created by Jamie Oliver, who also serves as an executive producer, Dream School is a non-fiction series focusing on troubled teenagers who’ve been falling through the cracks.

Announcing the season two pick-up, SundanceTV President Sarah Barnett said, “Season One of Dream School explored the real life struggles that young people face today and how an outside-the-box approach can result in true transformation and a chance to start over. Our audience responded strongly to the powerful drama and inspiration of last season and we think they will find this season every bit as engaging.”

Season two will consist of six hour-long episodes and will debut this fall.

The Plot:

What would happen if the kids who were the hardest to reach in conventional school, instead attended a place of learning where the educators were achievers and leaders – many of whom have become household names? In Dream School, classes are taught by professionals from the top of their fields – and the faculty includes professional musicians, journalists, filmmakers, scientists, athletes, and actors. This series creates a place for troubled teenagers to be inspired to turn their lives around. Homeless, privileged, neglected or bullied; the kids on this show all have one thing in common — they have dropped out of high school. Now SundanceTV is giving them a once in a lifetime chance to start over. Overcoming past failures and future obstacles will prove to be no easy task for both the students and teachers in this series.
