“This school hurt me a lot,” says Omar (Omar Ayuso) in the trailer for the seventh season of Elite. This is how one of the founding characters of the Netflix phenomenon is reintroduced who, after being absent in the sixth season, returns to the elite center. Under what pretext? He leads a new life at university and away from Las Encinas, but he can’t turn the page. He is still traumatized by the death of Samuel, who ended up being his best friend. And, with the excuse of a paid internship, he returns to where his adolescence occurred to confront the ghosts and, in the process, discover that the students “are also silently battling with their own hells.”
In the images, however, his face is not the only one that draws attention. And Carlos Montero, who created the series with Darío Madrona, and Jaime Vaca, who also serves as executive producer, have convinced two unusual talents to join the project. On the one hand, the Brazilian singer Anitta, who joins as the school’s self-defense teacher and who will have Sara (Carmen Arrufat) as a student, the influencer victim of the abuse of her boyfriend Raúl (Álex Pastrana). On the other hand, Maribel Verdú, the winner of two Goya awards and a key player in Spanish cinema, will be playing Carmen, the mother of a new student, Chloe (Mirela Balic), who is very sexually uninhibited.
Who returns, besides Omar, Sara and Raúl? Well, Iván (André Lamoglia), who is in a triple process of overcoming: the death of his father (victim of homophobia in the world of football), the departure of Patrick (Manu Ríos) and the abuse he suffered at the hands of of a repentant Sara who does not confess her crime; also Isadora (Valentina Zenere) and Dídac (Álvaro de Juana), who try to resume their relationship although the confrontation between their families prevents this reunion; Nico (Ander Puig), who happens to have his problematic cousin living in his house, Eric (Gleb Abrosimov); and Fernando Lindez joins the cast.
The seventh season of Elite premieres this coming Friday, October 20 and, for now, the eighth season is already confirmed and with another veteran return: Mina El Hammani will resume the character of Nadia, who we last saw studying in New York and having a video call with Guzmán (Miguel Bernardeau), who dropped out of school to travel the world after being involved in a murder.
