School is finally coming to an end for the gorgeous students of Las Encinas.
With season 7 of blockbuster Spanish-language series Élite set to debut in less than 48 hours, Netflix made the stunning announcement that the sizzling show’s days are numbered. ¡Ay, Dios mío!
But everyone breathe, because fans still have two seasons to binge as the finale won’t come until the end of season 8.
“The last party. Elite will end with season 8,” the streaming giant shared on Instagram.
The shocking news was disclosed as Omar Ayuso, André Lamoglia and the rest of the show’s current cast gathered for a press event in Madrid in support of season 7.
“We are shooting the eighth season, which will be the last season of ‘Élite.’ We ended on a high note,” creator Carlos Montero shared at the event, per Variety. “Jaime [Vaca, co-showrunner for Season 7], 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, we’ve worked with all the directors we wanted to work with and we’ve had the luxury of having [acclaimed Spanish actress] Maribel [Verdú] these last two seasons.”
He added: “‘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.”
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?
Well. it’s a fun watch, but I think Season 1 (and maybe Season 2) was/were the most authentic and entertaining; although Manu Ríos did give later seasons a boost.
The build up continues….will Queerty have Élite posts ready for tomorrow and Friday?
I recently binged “Suits” and “Ugly Betty” and as much as I loved (and was hooked on) those shows, I could tell during their respective final seasons that the people involved (especially the writers) were over it and ready to move on; I suspect season 8 will have a similar sensibility.
“Elite” lost me when it focused on that annoying brother and sister. The idiot brother then chose the annoying and unattractive son over the star-athlete father who was arguably the hottest person ever on the entire series – and then they even killed him off!
It would’ve ended on a high if it ended after season 5. Session 6 was a true disappointment, sorry to see Manu leave but his family was creepy, gave a Flowers in the Attic vibe. I have to admit I binged s7 and that detective played by Alejandro Albarracín is such a hot Zaddy. It still doesn’t make up for killing off Ivan’s soccer stud dad. But bringing in Fernando Lindez was a great find, even tho he was stuck with whiny Omar. And speaking of which, they brought back Omar and was hoping he would be a stronger character this time around but he was still a clingy whiny l0ser like he was with Ander. I hope that in s8, when his sister comes back, she takes him back to NYC with her so he can hopefully grow a pair and have Omar end on a high.

Oh and Fernando Lindez is my new major crush!
