starred and produced by Florencia and it had much of the same production team as Floricienta, including its scriptwriter Gabriela Fiore. In March 2012, Floricienta—originally aired at Canal 13—started being rerun during Telefe's afternoon, increasing the slot's average and, despite being a rerun, beating Canal 13's Los Unicos second season, which targeted a similar young audience. Due to high ratings, the running time was extended from 60 minutes to two hours, airing from 6p.m. to 8p.m. It was the second time the show was repeated: it also re-aired in its original channel, Canal 13, in 2008 also achieving very satisfactory numbers. Chiquititas spin-offs After exiting Telefe in 2001 due to disagreements with then content director Claudio Vilarruel, Morena had to leave the Chiquititas brand behind since the name was property of the channel. Decided to make a new season, Morena created a spin-off, Rincón de Luz (the name of the orphanage throughout all its seven seasons), to be aired in Canal 9 alongside the second season of Rebelde Way. Similarly to Rebelde, the show was co-produced by Israeli production compani Dori Media. Guido Kaczka, which played Belen's brother from 95 to 98 in Chiquititas and Argentina's best-selling singer, Soledad Pastorutti were chosen as the leads.

And new young actors and actresses like Lali Espósito, Candela Vetrano, Eugenia Suárez, Stéfano de Gregorio, Camila Salazar and Gastón Soffritti were also introduced. The show debuted in April 2003. Although it rated better than Canal 9's average numbers, it couldn't top the success of the previous Chiquititas seasons and ratings were also lower than Rebelde Way. In the middle of the year, due to a crisis in Canal 9, the show changed to America 2 alongside Rebelde Way and the one-month hiatus and frequent time slot changes in the new channel affected the show greatly. Even so, it still rated better than the channel's average. Even though ratings weren't as big as hoped, commercially the show was still a success, being sold to over 30 countries. The soundtrack album achieved Gold certification (a modest result compared to other Chiquititas' albums). Although it underperformed in Argentina, in Israel the show was a huge success, helped by hype surrounding Rebelde Way and the original Chiquititas, which had exploded there only a
