The series centers around Rita Madsen (Mille Dinesen), a headstrong and unconventional teacher and single mother. It received generally favorable response from critics, including Henrik Palle in Politiken who commented that the series "works really well with some characters who actually look like people". The series uses locations in and near the former school campus at the National Innovative Centre (SPF) in Islev, Rødovre. The theme song is "Speak Out Now" by the Danish musician Oh Land.
A spin-off of the series called Hjørdis debuted in May 2015. It was announced prior to, but aired after, Rita's third season The spin-off takes place in the same school as 'Rita', focusing on her colleague Hjordis' attempt to organize a school play. Mille Dinesen did not return for that series.
Mille Dinesen received an award at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival in the category Best Female Lead. At the festival, the series received a total of six nominations, including the producers Karoline Leth and Jesper Morthorst and the screenwriter Christian Torpe for Best International Producer and Best European producer of a TV drama series.
A US remake was planned with a pilot episode filmed in 2013, starring Anna Gunn, but it was not picked up as a series.
A Dutch remake called Tessa has been made and aired in November 2015 on NPO 1. It followed the storyline of Rita Season one, with only few changes. The lead role was played by Thekla Reuten. There won't be a second series.
On 17 March 2017 Mille Dinesen posted on social media that Rita was returning for a fourth season and has since posted video streams from set, although since no official announcement has been made by TV2 or Netflix, the airdate is yet to be confirmed.
