Netflix’s longest-running series (finally) ends today!

It’s Netflix’s sexiest series but also the platform’s longest original creation and it ends today with the release of its eighth season. Internet users have not failed to express their exasperation with the longevity of this Spanish fiction, but they are always there for a little hate-watching session of the new episodes.

But this time, it’s the last of the last! Six years after its launch, the interminable Élite is taking its final bow with its eighth and final season, still signed by its creators Darío Madrona and Carlos Montero.

If over the seasons, the Spanish series no longer had much in common with its beginnings, between many departures, new characters, unexpected returns and increasingly crazy twists, the eighth season seems to want to come full circle with a plot close to season 1.

If you left the series halfway or if you are lost in all the stories that happened in Elite, here is everything you need to know about season 8 of the Spanish series.

When and what time does Elite season 8 come out?

The eighth and final season of Elite is going online in its entirety this Thursday, July 26 at 9:01 a.m.

How many episodes for season 8 of Elite?

Each season of Elite includes the same number of episodes, and the eighth and final season is no exception. Thus, the last season of the Spanish series includes 8 episodes, which have a duration of about fifty minutes each.

Among the return of iconic characters is Omar, played by actor Omar Ayuso, who left Elite at the end of season 5 but returned in season 7. For this last lap, he will be accompanied by his sister Nadia (Mina El Hammani), who is making her return after leaving the series at the end of season 3. Their parents Yusef (Abdelatif Hwidar) and Imán (Farah Hamed) are also present.

Emilia Krawietz and her brother Héctor are the heads of the Alumni Club, the association of former students of Las Encinas. Coming from one of the richest families in Spain, they are influential, powerful, corrupt and corrupting.

They will sow chaos wherever they go and destroy the lives of their prey. Omar will be the only one to stand up to them and do everything to bring them down, because deep down, they represent everything that is rotten in Las Encinas.

Like the first season, this final salvo of Elite episodes begins with the discovery of a body, that of Joel, Omar’s ex who also had a fling with Ivan, and who seems to have fallen into the clutches of the Machiavellian Héctor.

The gang will try to find out who killed him while trying to get their precious diploma and avoiding the low blows of the ruthless Krawietz brothers.

Season 8 of the series “Elite” is available on Netflix.
