Phoenix Rise is a bold, new school drama series that champions the underdog. This coming-of-age series follows six students who form an unbreakable bond as they navigate the trials and tribulations of school life.

The misfit heroes are a group of teens taking their first tentative steps back into mainstream education after being excluded. At first it seems like they have nothing in common, but they soon realise they all share one unique trait: an indomitable will to succeed.

Ostracised by other pupils because of their backgrounds and reputation, these outsiders quickly find out that the only way they’ll survive school is by sticking together and forming a club of their own. Unlikely friendships bond them and fuel their determination not to be side-lined.

The teens meet regularly in a disused boiler room, an abandoned space which becomes a sanctuary. For them, school becomes a hopeful place and a chance to finally right the wrongs of the past as they strive to find their place in the world.

Phoenix Rise is their opportunity to rise from the ashes and prove that sometimes, being an outsider means belonging to the best club of all. For these kids, school has become a hopeful place, a chance to finally right the wrongs of the past as they navigate, and ultimately, find their place in the world.
