‘Élite’ Season 5’s Trailer Confirms No One Is Safe After a Wild Party Goes Wrong

Season 4 of Élite originally hit Netflix back in June 2021, but I was quickly in need of more episodes after bingeing it so quickly! This show about students at a fancy prep school in Spain is way juicier than you’d expect. (Truly the perfect mix of Riverdale meets Gossip Girl, don’t you think?) Needless to say, you might be wondering exactly when season 5 is expected to make its debut.

Thankfully, we have the scoop on what you can expect for Élite season 5, which, FWIW, is already confirmed. Onward!

First things first: Is season 5 officially a go?

For those waiting on the edge of your seats, let me tell you one word: Yes! Élite is not only expected to make a grand return for its fifth season, but it was also renewed before season 4 even aired. Back in February 2021, the cast took to the show’s official social media accounts for the surprise announcement:

That’s right—season 5 is already in production! What does this even mean? Well, it’ll probably be a while before we know juicy details, so it means it’s a good time to rewatch the whole show rn.

AMAZING! Is there a season 5 trailer out yet?

Good Q! Netflix just released the brand-new trailer and *shocker* there’s someone else who’s dead thanks to a wild night from the students of Las Encinas. So who killed them and why? Well, that’s anyone’s guess right now. But still, it looks like it’s going to be another ride with these students as they try to save themselves and their friends from going to jail.

Previously, Netflix dropped some photos from the new season to hold us over until we got more deets.

It also released a special clip that shows off some of the new faces that will be gracing the halls of Las Encinas.

When is season 5 of Élite coming out?

Luckily for all of us, the wait is almost over. Season 5 of Élite will be released on April 8, 2022! Better mark your calendars because you definitely don’t want to get spoiled as soon as it drops.

Okay, cool. Now who from the Élite cast can we expect to return for season 5?

We can’t exactly confirm anything, because unfortunately we don’t live in the Élite writers’ room, but we do know something about the cast. For one thing? Two new actors are joining the show: Argentinian actor Valentina Zenere and Brazilian actor André Lamoglia. Obviously they’re pretty hot, just like the rest of the Élite cast, so they’ll fit right in:

As far as original Élite cast members, there might be some from season 4 back on our screens, like Itzan Escamilla (Samuel), Miguel Bernardeau (Guzmán), Arón Piper (Ander), Omar Shana (Omar), and Claudia Salas (Rebeka), but nothing is 100 percent confirmed just yet.

If you remember season 4 well, the aforementioned names were all retaking their final year at Las Encinas, so it’s possible they could exit once graduation comes…just a thought.

Makes sense. But what do we know about season 5’s plot?

Um, I hate to tell you this, but not much. After all, Élite just loves to switch up characters on its fans every season, so honestly, it’s pretty hard to pin down what to expect. But here’s what we do know: It will be a new school year with more thrills, romance, and maybe a squashed friendship or two on the horizon. Sounds intriguing!
