Yahoo News Élite season 8 potential release date, cast, plot, and everything you need to know
Élite season 7 spoilers follow.
Elité season seven has officially landed on Netflix, but if you've binged your way through the eight episodes already, then you're probably keen to find out when you'll be getting more.
Thankfully, there's no need to anxiously wait for months on end for news of a renewal: Elité season eight has already been given the green light!
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?
Given Netflix typically releases a season of Elité 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 some brand new cast members to the show, including newcomer Ane Rot as Emilia and and Nuno Gallego as Héctor.
Meanwhile, Mina El Hammani will be making her big 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 be returning 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 offers Carmen a word of warning 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 between them 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 he's clearly conflicted. We'll just have to wait until season eight arrives to see if he'll turn Carmen in, or help her in covering up Raúl's murder.
While there's sure to be plenty more twists, turns and betrayals to come (this is Elité, after all), Montero has assured fans that the show will ultimately end on "high note".
Élite season 8 trailer: When will it land on Netflix?
Elité has only just been renewed by Netflix, so it will probably be a while before we see any new footage.
But make sure to 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.
