Élite season 7 spoilers follow.
Élite season seven has officially landed on Netflix, but if you've binged the eight episodes already, you're probably keen to find out when you'll get more.
Thankfully, there's no need to anxiously wait for months for news of a renewal: Élite season eight has already been given the green light!
What to Read Next
The news is bittersweet, though, as series creator Carlos Montero has confirmed that season eight will also mark the last time we return to Las Encinas.
"Jaime [Vaca], Netflix and I thought it was time to end it. I say this with great regret because it’s been several incredible years in which I’ve met wonderful actors," he shared during a recent press conference (via Deadline).
"Élite changed everyone's life. There are actors who started with us and it has been their springboard to be now world stars. It is happening to this cast and it is a pride to have contributed to that and to know that they have seen us all over the world and liked it."
So, what can we expect from the final season, and when can we expect it? Here's everything you need to know.
Élite season 8 potential release date: When will it air on Netflix?
Since Netflix typically releases a season of Élite per year and Montero has confirmed that season eight has already begun filming, we would place our bets on the show's final season arriving in autumn 2024.
But keep us bookmarked, and we'll let you know as soon as an official date is announced.
Élite season 8 cast: Who will be in it?
It's been confirmed that season eight will introduce brand-new cast members to the show, including newcomer Ane Rot as Emilia and Nuno Gallego as Héctor.
Meanwhile, Mina El Hammani will return as fan-favourite character Nadia Shanaa, who was last seen in season four when she and Guzmán broke up during a video call.
Other returning cast members are likely to include:
- Omar Ayuso as Omar
- Valentina Zenere as Isadora
- Maribel Verdú as Carmen
- André Lamoglia as Iván
- Carmen Arrufat as Sara
- Ander Puig as Nico
- Nadia Al Saidi as Sonia
- Fernando Líndez as Joel
- Mirela Balic as Chloe
- Gleb Abrosimov as Eric
- Alejandro Albarracín as Luis
- Iván Mendes as Dalmar
One character who won't return is Alex Pastrana's Raúl, who fell to his death in the season seven finale.
Élite season 8 plot: What will happen?
In season seven's final episode, Sara warns Carmen about Chloe's abusive new boyfriend, Raúl.
When Carmen heads over to the apartment to confront Raúl about his behaviour towards her daughter, things get heated, and she ends up pushing him off the balcony, killing him.
Although Carmen and Chloe attempt to frame Raúl's death as a suicide, the episode's final moments reveal that Joel and Omar's flatmate Dalmar caught it all on camera.
Dalmar doesn't show the video to the police but is still conflicted. We'll just have to wait until season eight arrives to see if he'll turn Carmen in or help her cover up Raúl's murder.
While there are sure to be plenty more twists, turns and betrayals to come (this is Élite, after all), Montero has assured fans that the show will ultimately end on a "high note".
Élite season 8 trailer: When will it land on Netflix?
As of this writing, Netflix has only just renewed Élite, so it will probably be a while before we see any new footage.
But stay tuned for additional information about season eight — including trailers and fresh plot details.
Élite seasons 1-7 are now available to watch worldwide on Netflix.
