Development In 2014, ANT1 was on the hunt to create a new prime time soap opera for its 2014/2015-season. After different proposals they decided to buy the television rights of the Argentine
telenovela Graduados, broadcast by
Telefe, adapting the project on its greek edition. As the main director of the show was announced Vasilis Thomopoulos, who stopped his long-running collaboration with
Mega Channel, and Vicky Alexopoulou as the head writer of the series. ANT1 at first decided to run the show for one and only season with 180 episodes really closely to the original television format. On May of 2015, shortly before the show was ready to be cancelled, ANT1 decided to renew the show after the agreement of the Argentinian creators because of the high ratings of the first season. Because the original storylines were almost completed the decision between ANT1 and Telefe was to create a new plot and storylines with almost the same characters for the second season of the show. The new head writer, who had to create an almost new series, was Yorgos Feidas. The original storyline of the show, based on the Argentinian Graduados, stops on the episode 170 the 12th episode of the second season. On March of 2016 ANT1 renewed the show for its third season, continuing the original greek script of Yorgos Feidas.
Cancellation of the series On March of 2017 the ratings of the show started falling ahead, after almost two years as a slot winner, because of the fifth season of
Survivor Greece on
Skai TV. On May, ANT1 decided to cancel the show after three seasons even though there was originally an intention to renew the show for a fourth season.
