Meet Nuno Gallego, the new Spanish fox bringing the heat to Season 8 of ‘Élite’
By Editors · 11 comments· Updated on January 26, 2024
Netflix‘s blockbuster teen telenovela Élite has been the launching pad for some of the hottest young stars of the last five years.
Since premiering in 2018, the Spanish-language series has introduced us to the gorgeous talents of Omar Ayuso, Andre Lamoglia, Miguel Herran, Aron Piper, Alvaro Rico, and the one and only Manu Ríos, among others.
On Wednesday, the streaming platform announced the show was renewed for any unprecedented eighth season, making it Netflix’s longest running Spanish series, and revealed the name of the latest hunk joining the Elite thirst trap assembly line.
Nuno Gallego is set to join the ensemble cast and appears well positioned to follow in the show’s top-notch legacy of bringing grade-A shirtless content.
Hola, Nuno!

Born in Coruna, Spain in 2001, Gallego (who is either 21 or 22 years old) currently lives in Madrid and studied acting at the esteemed The Real Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático.
In addition to his native Spanish, he’s fluent in English and German.
After starring in a couple of short films, the 5’9″ stud’s breakout role came with a leading role in the Spanish musical drama series UPA Next, opposite Oscar-winning actress Penelope Cruz’s younger sister Monica Cruz.
Gallego portrayed the character Dario and got to show us off his dancing and singing skills as the series was set inside a fictional prestigious high school (sound familiar?) in the vein of the ’80s film and TV series Fame.
Even if you can’t understand Spanish, Gallego’s adorable charisma needs no translation.
Although we have yet to get details on Gallego’s character on Elite, we do know he’ll be joined by fellow newcomer Ane Rot (Killer Book Club) and returning original cast member Mina El Hammani, who plays the sister of Omar Ayuso’s character, Nadia.
Ayuso is returning for the show’s upcoming 7th season after previously exiting the series at the end of season 5.
While season 7 premieres on October 20th, there is no official information as to when season 8 will land on Netflix, but chances are it won’t be until the fall of 2024.
In the meantime, get to know Nuno Gallego a little better through some of his amazing photos below and then give him a follow:
Earlier this week, the ‘Elite’ stud shocked the world by shaving off all of his hair and the smooth results were glorious.

We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
How is this show still a thing? It is the longest running non reality series on Netflix. You’d think they would’ve closed down the school by now or stopped sending their kids there.
Why does it have to be any different than American Soap Operas that have been running on a daily basis for decades and decades?
It’s still a thing because people like it and it’s making NetFlix money. Everyone’s happy, except……..
you.
I enjoy the show, but Queerty´s ¨editors¨ really seem mesmerized: “…and the one and only Manu Ríos, among others…” and previewing season 8 which maybe drops next fall. All good.
Why do Queerty editors insist on showing its readers multiple photos of young men with their shirts off.? OK. We get it. The guy is good looking and has a nice body. A few photos can make this point. And to make matters much worse we are shown horrible photographs. It’s an insult to the taste of your readers to show us so many really bad photos with no photographic value. Are you really that hard up for decent photos? There are a lot of professional photographers out there who can provide you with interesting photos. Please edit out all the boring selfie shots of these guys. A little respect for your readers’ photographic intelligence level, please.
Edit out all of his squinty eyed selfies, shots of him chewing on his fingernails, shots of birds in the sky, shots taken from airplane windows. There are over 30 photos in this article, many of them boring and of dubious photographic interest plus various videos. Are there any photographic editors employed by Queerty?
