Netflix has confirmed an eighth season for their Spanish smash hit Elitê, as well as the return of a veteran actor. On Wednesday (19 July), the streamer announced that production on season eight will begin in August, with directing duties from Daniel Barone, Ginesta Guindal, Jota Linares and Elena Trapé.
Ane Rot (Killer Book Club) and Nuna Gallego (UPA Next) have joined the cast as new characters, while Mina El Hammani will reprise her role of Nadia.
El Hammani joined the series in its inaugural season as one of three characters who transferred to Las Encinas, the most exclusive private school in Madrid, alongside Samuel García Domínguez (Itzan Escamilla) and Christian Varela Expósito (Miguel Herrán).
Nadia departed Elité in season four to attend university in New York, while – spoiler alert – Samuel was killed and Christian was transferred to a Switzerland hospital after being deliberately hit with a car.
