Elite season 4 release date: Netflix series cast, trailer, and latest news

The series became a hit with its heady and often scandalous tale set at an exclusive private school, with the series beginning after three working-class students arrive with scholarships.

Such is the success of the teen series that season five has also been commissioned, with filming set to begin shortly (as of April 2021).

We might have originally expected season four to air in March 2021, but filming was delayed due to COVID-19 and restrictions.

In the season four announcement video, series star Arón Piper (Aider) said: "We're looking forward to getting back to work," while Claudia Salas adds: "We are looking forward to seeing you all soon."

The show has got increasingly dramatic as it has gone on, and so many fans are already looking forward to a fourth run - especially bearing in mind news of some fresh faces joining the cast, and whose characters appear in the season 4 teaser trailer.

The season four trailer, which was released on 20th May 2021, sees the start of a new year in Las Encinas with a new school director. His family, including his three teenagers Ari, Mencia and Patrick, can be see in the promo.
