El Reemplazante is a Chilean TV series originally broadcast on Televisión Nacional de Chile. The show follows a man, ousted from his previous financial career, who becomes a substitute math teacher at a low income school in Santiago. The plot was partially motivated by the Chilean student protests in 2011.[1] Production was partially funded by the Consejo Nacional de Televisión de Chile. The showrunner was Hernan Rodriguez Matte. At the 2013 Altazor Awards, the show won awards for best direction, best screenplay, and best actor.[2] Nicolas Acuña said that it is possible that a third season happens.[3]
