La CQ (English: The CQ) is a Mexican television series created by Pedro Ortiz de Pinedo. Recorded at RCTV Studios in Caracas, it is a co-production between Televisa and Cartoon Network, making it also the first local original live-action series.[1] The show's original broadcasting time was 11:00 AM, 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM. It follows a group of friends as they experience conflicts throughout their middle school years.

The series first premiered on 6 August 2012, and returned with season 2 on exactly four months later in December. In September 2013, it started airing in the United States on UniMás' weekend morning lineup. The series' finale aired on 28 March 2014.

On 5 June 2024, the show's creator, Ortiz de Pinedo, revealed that a "sequel" series was in the works, with a new generation entering the school. It is set to premiere before the end of the year.[2]
