Netflix Elite is a thriller teen-drama Spanish TV series. It is also a Netflix Original. The series follows three students, Samuel, Nadia, and Christan, who get transferred to Las Encinas High School because their school was destroyed.
So, the conflicts between scholarship students and rich students lead to the murder of a rich girl, Marina. The show first aired back in 2018 and is still ongoing. There are currently three seasons of Elite on Netflix. Elite Season 4 is all set to return on June 18.
Before the release of Season 4, Netflix announced “Elite Week” which is a 4 short-story project. “Elite Week is all about surprises, parties, and crushes”.
The plot of these short story episodes will revolve around the departing characters of Elite. “There will be four stories, each one made of three short episodes”. Elite co-creator Carlos Montero said:
Every new season we write, we always end up leaving some of our characters’ stories out. They don’t fit the format or there’s no physical time to develop them, and we’re always left with the bitter taste that we would have liked to share them with everyone. That’s more or less how the idea of Élite Short Stories came up, we wanted to take the opportunity to explore those stories that we wanted to tell and let the world discover them.
We also thought that in these uncertain times, it would be a great gift for the fans, since we all need something good to happen to us.
Before the release of Elite Season 4, it was also renewed for a fifth season. Some of the major cast already left after Season 3. Two more iconic actors are also leaving after Season 4.
