What Is Elite All About?
The series is the creation of Darío Madrona and Carlos Montero and it takes place at a fictional school called Las Encinas. The storyline focuses on three students who come from working-class backgrounds and manage to get into the aforementioned school which is made for rich kids.

The series premiered on October 5th, 2018 on Netflix and had eight episodes. Elite Season 7 dropped on October 20th, 2023. Montero and Madrona are also the executive producers of the show along with Iñaki Juaristi and Diego Betancor while Francisco Ramos served as the producer.

How Did Elite Season 7 End?
The final episode of Elite Season 7 was called Voy a acabar con esto para siempre (I’m Gonna End This Forever). It showcased that Isadora finds out the links Didac has with the cops and he has been working as an informant, especially with Luis.
Meanwhile, Eric continues to struggle with his mental state and there are hints that he might have fallen from the terrace.
We also saw love blossoming between Ivan and Joel which also led to his breakup with Omar. Towards the end, we realize it was Carmen who had actually pushed Raul from the building terrace which led to his death.
Is Elite Season 8 Happening?
Netflix has announced Elite Season 8 will happen and it will also be the final season of the show. Since it is the final season of Elite, we can expect all the ties to eventually be loosened and all the subplots to be resolved. The final season will have a lot of drama to offer to the audience. The cliffhanger ending of the prior season has also increased the tension around it.
What To Expect From It?
Elite Season 8 will reveal what actually happened between Chloe and Carmen after Raul fell to his death from the rooftop. His death was the biggest shocker of the seventh season and the next season should unveil some answers. Ivan and Joel have a lot going on and some conclusion can be expected between them in this season.
They might also decide to be with each other after the South African trip is over. Since Didac’s father is behind bars, we can expect her to be more open about her relationship with Isadora. This is because her father was always around her and that prevented her from being open about her dating life.
Eric also remains an important character and Elite Season 8 might focus more on him and we might see his arc fully reaching its potential.
Who Will Be In The Cast?
The principal cast will return for Elite Season 8. Mina El Hammani (Nadia Shanaa), Álvaro de Juana (Dídac Ramos Vico), Fernando Líndez (Joel Huesos), Maribel Verdú (Carmen), and André Lamoglia (Ivan) among others will be returning for the final season. We also know that new actors will be introduced this season so there will be a mix of new and old actors.
Elite Season 8 will be released on July 26th, 2024 on Netflix. A two-minute-long teaser provided some interesting glimpses from the show.
