Free Rein is a British drama television series created and written by Vicki Lutas and Anna McCleery.[1][2] It stars Jaylen Barron, Navia Robinson (seasons 1-2) and Freddy Carter. Produced in the UK by Lime Pictures, the ten-part Series 1 premiered on Netflix on 23 June 2017.

The second series premiered on 6 July 2018. Shortly afterwards, Free Rein was renewed for a third series, as well as two feature-length special episodes. Free Rein: The 12 Neighs of Christmas, premiered on 7 December 2018.[3] The second special, Free Rein: Valentine’s Day, premiered on 1 February 2019.[4] The third series, consisting of 10 episodes, premiered on 6 July 2019.[5] In January 2021, cast member Céline Buckens confirmed that the series had concluded.[6]
