As part of the deal to avoid jail time, Ella must leave her home in California and spend the remainder of her secondary education with her father and stepmother in Johannesburg, South Africa. Ella’s world is turned upside down as she navigates a very different reality than the one she has known.

Set in South Africa, Classified immerses audiences in the rich cultural landscape of the country through the experiences of the characters. Unlike many high school and coming-of-age dramas, Classified provides a unique window into an elite international school environment and the lives of its students.

While there is plenty of teenage drama to enjoy, including love triangles and cliques at school, Classified uniquely blends this more lighthearted fare with suspenseful plot twists and serious international intrigue that will keep audiences hooked from the very beginning.
