The fictional high school of Las Encinas continues to be a playground for murderous mischief as the Spanish teen drama Elite made its return to Netflix on Oct. 20. Now in its seventh season, the series has added new characters to the salacious mix — Brazilian singer Anitta being among them — and brought back a member of the original ensemble cast, Omar Ayuso, who starred as Omar Shanaa from seasons one through five.
“One day by chance, we were on a train, and I asked him if he would be willing to come back,” says screenwriter, director and producer Carlos Montero, who created the series with Darío Madrona. “We gave him a protagonist role and we felt in debt to Omar because he always pulled out all the stops with our show. We love his character very much and we wanted to give him the importance we think he deserved.”

Omar Ayuso, who shares the same name as his character, is a pillar of the teen telenovela Elite. He’s been around since the first season of Netflix’s Spanish hit, captivating viewers via his tender romance with heartthrob Ander, played by Arón Piper, and the jarring disapproval his character faces in his Muslim household.
Elite, created by Carlos Montero and Darío Madrona, premiered its seventh season Oct. 20, with Ayuso reprising his role. The series, which announced an eighth and final season over the summer, marks Netflix Spain’s longest-running fictional series.

Élite Season 8 will be its last. After renewing the series in July, Netflix announced on October 18 that the soapy teen drama will end with Season 8. Season 7 premieres on Friday, October 20. Netflix shared the news of the final season of Élite on Twitter, with a short video that turned an 8 on its side to resemble an infinity symbol. Élite is set in a fictional elite high school called Las Encinas. The series focuses on the relationships of its students and the clashes that arise between working-class and wealthy students. In Élite Season 7, Omar (Omar Ayuso) is living a new life at the university and far away from Las Encinas, but he is unable to move on. The guilt he feels for Samuel’s (Itzan Escamilla) death and the suffering from that period are still very much present, leading him to undergo therapy. Thanks to an internship, he decides to return to...

At one point, it seemed like Elite was unstoppable.
The Spanish teen drama kicked off on Netflix in 2018 and became one of the streaming service's most popular series.
As the years have passed, the cast has been refreshed consistently to keep the drama fresh and exciting.
The latest seasons have failed to live up to the hype of the initial three seasons, and now, it's all ending.
On Wednesday morning, Netflix announced via social media that Elite Season 8 would bring the series to a close.
The news broke two days before the premiere of Elite Season 7, so those still hooked on the series still have plenty to look forward to.

Elite Season 6 looks to be a cut above the previous two seasons.
The series has struggled to keep its focus since many of the original cast members exited at the end of Elite Season 3.
However, the official trailer teases the aftermath of Sam's death, new beginnings, and Isadora's vengeance.
It looks like plenty of drama is on the menu, which could be what the show needs to steer it in the right direction.
“After Samuel’s death, Las Encinas faces a new school year trying to have a facelift by covering up disasters of the past,” reads the official synopsis.
“However, the conflict in its classrooms is systemic: racism, sexism, domestic abuse or Lgtbi-phobia are just a few of the difficult issues that will run through the hallways of the prestigious institution this season."

While the cast exits haven't been seamless in the slightest, Elite Season 6 is poised to be completely different.
Samuel (played by Itzan Escamilla) was seemingly killed off at the conclusion of the previous season, but there were some rumors that he survived.

The season will see its share of classroom conflicts, from racism, sexism, domestic abuse, and Lgtbi-phobia, forcing the students to take action themselves to address these issues. In the new trailer (watch below), we see returning cast members, including André Lamoglia (Iván), Valentina Zenere (Isadora), Carla Díaz (Ari), Martina Cariddi (Mencía), Adam Nourou (Bilal), and Manu Ríos (Patrick), many of them shirtless and making out with each other as water showers down on them from above.

Rest in peace, dear one -- if you're truly dead.
With Elite's sadistic track record of killing off main characters, I shouldn't have been surprised by this season's fatal blow, but it floored me, so much so that I'm not sure it was fatal, after all. Bodybag, or it didn't happen, right?
Spoilers ahead! If you haven't watched, continue at your peril
I have two theories: Samuel is dead, the cliffhanger cleverly employed to compel us to watch Season 6 (not that we wouldn't anyway) or Samuel is on the brink of death, will live, and will leave Las Encinas for good, Itzan Escamilla exiting the show.
The latter would be preferable.
Samuel has gone through far too much to die poolside of a head injury. However, that manner of death is eerily similar to that of his Season 1 lover Marina, so it could be a full-circle closure of his storyline.

Elite Season 5 is right around the corner. Netflix just released the official trailer for the upcoming season, debuting Friday, April 8, and it’s filled with glitz, glamour, and drama. “At Las Encinas, the new semester means new love triangles, new students, new rules — and a new mysterious crime,” Netflix teases of Season 5. “After Phillipe’s fateful New Year’s Eve party and Guzmán’s escape, the secret of Armando’s death threatens to destroy Samuel and Ari’s love story,” the description continues. “Meanwhile, Rebeca is in the midst of a journey of self-discovery, while Omar recovers from his final separation from Ander. Phillipe’s confession of abuse, Patrick’s uncontrollable fits of rage, Benjamin’s desire for revenge, a gift Armando gave Mencia that hides a secret that could destroy ‘the Benjamins’, a pact of silence between Samuel and Rebeca that will quickly be broken and will bring the worst consequences…...

Netflix is doubling down on Elite, which is set to become one of the streamer's longest-running series.
On Thursday, the service ordered Elite Season 6, well ahead of the still unscheduled Elite Season 5 premiere.
What's more, we're getting three holiday-themed episodes of the Spanish teen drama with new episodes of Elite: Short Stories set to air in December.
The specials are as follows:
- Phillipe, Caye, & Felipe (December 15)
- Samuel & Omar (December 20)
- Patrick (December 23)
The renewal was a no-brainer. Elite has solidified itself as one of the streamer's most popular dramas.
Also helping matters is that the cast rotates in and out, meaning that unlike many other shows, the budget will not be soaring with every season.

Photo: 'Elite'/Netflix ‘Élite’ is more than a predictable teen drama; it is a murder mystery with a steamy high society twist. Set in Las Encinas, the most exclusive private school in Spain. The story is centered in a space where money means power, and fortunate teenagers have all of it. Furthermore, the lower class is completely foreign territory, and thinking about sharing a room with them is the same as walking on puke. ‘Élite’ follows the life of Samuel Garcia (Itzan Escamilla), a lower-class teenager, who by chance wins a scholarship to Las Encinas, and by the deceitful games of destiny, he finds himself trapped in the middle of a murder investigation. The cast is primarily Spanish actors relatively new to the industry, except for Lu (Danna Paola). Danna Paola has been a famous star since she was a child, starting in children's Novelas, and evolving into a Latin American pop star.

The long-delayed fourth season of the private-school drama will land on the streaming service Friday, June 18.
An episode order has not been revealed, but it is expected to be in line with the previous three seasons, which spanned eight episodes apiece.
The premiere date means fans will have been waiting 15 months between seasons, but the long delay is due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Elite Season 4 production was forced to shut down, but it resumed a few months ago, and with work on the season has now been completed, production on Elite Season 5 has already commenced.

The two newcomers will join the now superstar cast including series regulars Miguel Bernardeau, Claudia Salas, Georgina Amoros, Itzan Escamilla and Omar Ayuso, who joined the show in season three.

The trials and tribulations of the students at Las Encinas will continue to be charted at Netflix.
The streamer on Thursday officially ordered a fifth season of the Spanish-language drama Elite, well in advance of its Season 4 premiere.
Netflix made the announcement on Twitter, but Deadline revealed that the fifth season will also bring another two new cast members into the fold in Argentinian actress Valentina Zenere (Cable Girls) and Brazilian actor André Lamoglia (Juacas), but no character details were revealed.
Elite typically likes to keep viewers in suspense when new additions are announced due to the nature of the series.
Each season follows a new mystery in a similar vein to Big Little Lies, with the characters being quizzed by the police about the events.
Elite was renewed for Season 4 in May last year, but production was scuppered due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with the series finishing filming much later than originally planned.

Netflix has picked up the series for season 4 around two months after season 3 launched on the streamer. The cast, including Miguel Bernardeau and Claudia Salas, announced the pickup via a video from their homes in quarantine. Precisely when season 4 will be available is yet to be announced, especially given the current uncertainty of the coronavirus production shutdown.
“I wanted to tell you that we have got the scripts of season 4 and they look so good,” says Bernardeau in the video.

Great news for “Elite” fans: Netflix has renewed the addictive teen thriller for a third season. Season two dropped only a month ago, but it seems Netflix also just can’t get enough of the series.
Created by Carlos Montero and Darío Madrona, the Spanish-language series follows the misadventures of a group of teens who attend an exclusive private school in Spain called Las Encinas. What seemingly begins as a fish-out-of-water story—as three working-class students end up receiving scholarships to attend Las Encinas—quickly turns into a tale about sex, manipulation, more sex, and eventually murder.
Simply put, “Elite” is a series about horny teens in Spain, and Americans—even outside of your standard horny teens demographic—have eaten it up. In fact, not just Americans: According to Netflix in its first four weeks, “Elite” season one was viewed in more than 20 million homes worldwide. And while some may...

Spoiler alert: This review includes some (but not all!) spoilers for the first season of Netflix’s “Élite.”
The first time I heard about Netflix’s new teen drama “Élite” was from a friend was gushing about how it felt like several great shows in one. If it were a mathematical equation, he said, “Elite” would look something like, “The O.C.” multiplied by “Gossip Girl,” divided by “Veronica Mars,” to the power of “Big Little Lies” — which, to be frank, sounded overwhelming. How could it take on so many tropes at once without becoming an overstuffed Frankenstein of a show?
Within 10 minutes, my fears started to melt away. “Élite” does indeed include countless teen show clichés, but it also relishes the opportunity to dig a bit deeper and twist them into more interesting shapes. It interrogates the very tropes it indulges by finding new gears in old plot engines. And...
