Elite season 7: Release date speculation, cast and latest news
Is this the end for the students of Las Encinas?
Some fans are still busy devouring the new episodes of Elite that just dropped, but the next season is already garnering much attention with the announcement that an original cast member is returning.
The Spanish-language drama has seen a number of actors come and go over the years, with the last of the original Elite cast bidding the show farewell at the end of season 5 – until now, that is.
Netflix has confirmed that Omar Ayuso will be reprising his fan-favourite role of Omar Shanaa in season 7, picking up after a rollercoaster journey during his original stint on the show.
From parental pressure to love triangles and run-ins with the law, Omar is a compelling character indeed and longtime viewers will be thrilled to find out what he's up to now.
The question is: does his return signify Elite coming full circle? The show has already run longer than most Netflix dramas, but undoubtedly some fans will still be wanting more.
Here's everything we know so far about Elite season 7.
Elite season 7 release date speculation
Netflix is yet to confirm a release date for Elite season 7, but we can make an educated guess on when the next episodes will arrive based on the show's history.
While many dramas release annually, Elite has regularly turned around episodes more rapidly than that. For instance, there were just six months between seasons 2 and 3, and only seven months separating seasons 5 and 6.
For that reason, we predict that we'll see Elite season 7 in time for summer 2023, most likely sometime between May and August. We'll update this page once Netflix sets a definite premiere date.
