At one level, it appeared like Elite was unstoppable.
The Spanish teen drama kicked off on Netflix in 2018 and have become one of many streaming service’s hottest collection.
As the years have handed, the solid has been refreshed persistently to maintain the drama contemporary and thrilling.
The newest seasons have did not dwell as much as the hype of the preliminary three seasons, and now, it is all ending.
On Wednesday morning, Netflix introduced through social media that Elite Season 8 would deliver the collection to an in depth.
The information broke two days earlier than the premiere of Elite Season 7, so these nonetheless hooked on the collection nonetheless have loads to look ahead to.
The authentic solid included María Pedraza, Itzan Escamilla, Miguel Bernardeau, and Miguel Herrán.
Also on the unique solid are Jaime Lorente, Álvaro Rico, Arón Piper, Mina El Hammani, Ester Expósito, Omar Ayuso, and Danna Paola.
The preliminary thriller centered on the homicide of Marina, a scholar at Las Encinas School.
That preliminary season was very Big Little Lies-esque, with us seeing the characters interviewed by a police officer as they took us again to some pivotal moments.
It labored very nicely, and the following two seasons managed to maintain up the tempo.
Unfortunately, the collection modified for good when a lot of the authentic solid departed after Elite Season 3.
The present tried to maintain issues contemporary by retaining choose solid members and attempting to pressure their characters into new storylines with new faces.
Sadly, not one of the mysteries following the preliminary three had been partaking or thrilling.
The present turned a shell of its former self however did begin the method of righting a few of these wrongs on Elite Season 6 when it embraced a plot that excluded the entire authentic solid members.
Elite Season 7, premiering on October 20, is bringing again Ayuso for some motive.
How will his character match into this universe now? We’re undecided.
He will nonetheless attempt to settle for Samuel’s demise at the top of Elite Season 5.

They be a part of Elite Season 6 solid members Valentina Zenere, Andre Lamoglia, Carmen Arrufat, Alex Pastrana, Alvaro de Juana, Ander Puig, Ana Bokesa, and Nadia Al Saida.
The promo guarantees a lot of drama like its predecessors, but it surely’s laborious to inform whether or not the thriller will probably be value watching.
Those early seasons had stellar mysteries that stored us guessing what occurred till the decision.
It’s a disgrace the later seasons overlooked that, however possibly this subsequent season and the ultimate one will handle to recapture a few of that former glory.
It’d even be nice if we received some cameos from a few of the earlier solid members.
We already know that Mina will probably be again as Nadia for the ultimate season, that means there will probably be a reunion between Omar and his sister.
Nadia was final seen leaving Spain for New York City to attend college, and her relationship with Guzman imploded.
Maybe we’re in for a flash ahead and a Las Encinas highschool reunion. That’d be attention-grabbing, proper?!
The penultimate season will possible give us loads of intel about what to anticipate from the final episodes.
So, we’ll reserve judgment till we watch them.
What are your ideas on the choice to cancel the present?
