Netflix’s second Spanish original drama, Elite was released worldwide on Oct. 5, gathering positive reviews from TV critics in Spain and abroad. Offering eight episodes entirely shot in 4K, Season 2 is scheduled to launch in 2019.
The series is set at Las Encinas, the most exclusive high school in Spain, whose students belong to swankily wealthy families, apart from three working class kids who have just been admitted after their tin pot school collapses. The class and culture gulf sparks an escalating series of confrontations, culminating in murder.

“Returning and new characters are to be confirmed,” Netflix said in a statement.
Elite marks the second Netflix original series in Spain, after Bambú Producciones’ romantic melodrama The Cable Girls, launched in 2017 and now renewed for Season 4. Bambú is also producing for the streamer original TV drama Alta Mar and documentary series “El crímen de Alcasser.”
