Netflix has been known to make some of the best teen and high school dramas present out there today. From tackling burning issues like bullying to identifying one’s own identity, Netflix has based shows on all of it. Out of all, one of the most watched series globally has been the Spanish teen drama series, “Élite”. The show has had uber successful 3 seasons and fans are waiting impatiently for its upcoming 4th season.
Well, here’s the news the show has apparently wrapped up shooting back in December and it might be in post production now. Given the fact, how COVID-19 has affected the world and also Spain being one of the worst hit countries, and also the country the show is produced and shot in, it was obvious that the show has been delayed. The season till now hasn’t been confirmed as to when will it be releasing. Netflix and the cast back in summer 2020 itself announced that the scripts are ready and it just had to get going.
Coming to the story, it has been confirmed that the majority of the old cast won’t be returning for the 4th season as in the 3rd season they graduated. The last year in high school was probably one of the toughest for them, judging by how each one of the fought their own demons while they looked out for each other. Some were left behind, as they couldn’t complete their graduation due to the various events that took place during their final year of graduation. Netflix and the show’s makers disclosed some of the new ones joining the team and they are actors Manu Rios, Carla Diaz, Martina Carridi and Pol Granch.
The show has garnered attention from around the world and has become one of the highest watched Spanish series by the streaming platform till date, apart from Money Heist. The Spanish hit followed journeys of rich and affluent high school kids of the elite Las Encinas High School, they had to fight amongst themselves and with themselves to keep them sane and away from the pressure of teenage years and murderous activities that went around the school.
With 2 deaths in the series and the last season ending on an emotional note, as the makers have stated that fans will be seeing a brand new cast along with the few older ones consisting of Aron Piper, Miguel Bernardeau, Itzan Escamilla, Claudia Salas, Omar Ayuso and Georgina Amaros. The story will start afresh as the entry of a new cast will bring their issues to the front as well. Also, this has been confirmed as the last season for two actors Itzan Escamilla and Omar Ayuso, who were present in the show since day 1. They played the characters of Samuel and Omar respectively.
A news is going around and it is being stated that the show will be “coming soon” on Netflix. But there still hasn’t been a confirmed news by the makers or the streaming platform. With the show apparently in post production, it might actually be true but we also know how Netflix is. The streaming platform won’t be releasing news until the very moment but till then, hope can be kept up that the show will be making a definite entry once again with yet another brilliant, twisty plot.
