Elite 2018

Elite (Spanish: Élite; stylized as E L I T Ǝ) is a Spanish teen drama series created by Carlos Montero and Darío Madrona for Netflix. The show is set in Las Encinas, a fictional elite high school which caters to privileged and wealthy teenagers. Elite initially focuses on three working-class students who win their enrollment at Las Encinas through a scholarship program, and on the social and romantic interactions that they have with several students there. The series ran for eight seasons from 5 October 2018 to 26 July 2024. Though the series does have its share of light-hearted moments, Elite mainly centres around the trials and tribulations of its protagonists, exploring "hot-button", progressive issues such as homosexuality, classism, parental neglect, and illicit activities including drug use, crime and murder. The debut season, comprising eight episodes, premiered on Netflix on 5 October 2018, earning positive reviews from critics and viewers who described the series as a "guilty pleasure". The writing, acting, and portrayal of mature themes were particularly praised. Over the next six years, seven more eight-episode seasons have premiered on Netflix.
