We haven’t even gotten the fourth season of Netflix’s Spanish drama Elite yet, but fans can at least sigh in relief that despite many key cast members leaving in the next season, the show’s now been officially renewed for a fifth season.

According to Deadline, the show is also continuing its annual infusion of fresh blood by introducing a few new students that will be heading to Las Encinas in the new season. Argentinian actress Valentina Zenere and Brazilian actor André Lamoglia will be joining Elite in roles that haven’t been announced yet, but they’re bound to stir some trouble.

As for who’ll come back for season 4, you’ll see more of Samu (Itzan Escamilla), as well as Guzmán (Miguel Bernardeau), Ander (Arón Piper), Omar (Omar Ayuso), Rebeca (Claudia Salas) and Cayetana (Georgina Amorós). The new cast members are Andrés Velencoso, Manu Rios, Carla Díaz, Martina Cariddi, Pol Granch, and Diego Martín. There’s no release date yet for season 4, but it’s set to come out sometime this summer.

It’ll be interesting to see what the show’s like without key characters Nadia, Carla, Lu, and Valerio. But from the set pictures Zenere shared, it looks like we’ll get a character who is just as fashionable and intimidating as both Carla and Lu. Let’s just hope that there aren’t any more casualties in these next two seasons. There’s only so much murder this school can handle!

    I have literally never heard of this show before just now, but while we’re on the subject of Spanish TV shows, people should really check out 30 Coins on HBO. Enjoyably shlocky Exorcist/X-Files kind of thing with some ridiculous stuff going on in pretty much every episode.

      this and money house are arguably two of the most popular shows on netflix.   money house was so popular they made a dang documentary about how popular it is.

    Can’t wait!

    I’d love to see another show successfully pull of the degrassi model of filtering new characters in and out instead of feeling like they need to stay around forever or follow them to college.

    Oh, I’ll miss Nadia. I didn’t even realize there was going to be another season. I just assumed everyone was moving on.

    I find it amazing that Netflix has renewed this for another season. It’s like their version of Skins.
