There are rare moments when Netflix goes above and beyond and renews a season even before the upcoming season is released. Netflix’s Spanish hitmaker “Élite” is probably one of those few ones that made the record of getting a season 5 way before season 4 is released. Earlier we reported on how the progress has been on Season 4, which looks like it will drop in the later half of 2021.
The shoot for the 4th season was apparently completed in December, meaning that it might be in post production at the moment. The 4th season will also see the beginning of a new era, of some sorts for the series as the earlier batch graduated and seemingly started new lives at the end of Season 3. The new season still will star some of the old characters played by Itzan Escamilla, Aron Piper, Omar Ayuso, Claudia Salas and Georgina Amaros.
The 4th season will definitely have some new characters and they have reportedly already shot their part for the season, but Netflix has gone ahead and also casted the new characters that will be starring in the Season 5 of the series. The plots of the latest seasons are undisclosed as of now but as usual it is believed to be bringing back the emotions and connections that we felt with the earlier batch.
The decision of renewing the series for a 5th season definitely comes from the thought of how well Netflix has been doing with Spanish shows like Élite and Money Heist. These two series have helped in gaining attention not only from the Spanish speaking crowd but also have been able to give Spanish shows recognition in the international area.
With the delays that the pandemic caused and the upcoming season not releasing sooner, it would be interesting to see what the latest season 4 and the upcoming season 5 of the show brings to its fans.
