Spanish drama Elite returns to Netflix this Friday with another year of conflicts, lies and passion between the students at Las Encinas. The hit series came out in 2018 with fans gripped by the turbulent reveal of the murder of Marina, which then followed with masses of drama and scandals that led to us finding out who killed Polo at the end of season three.

Who will star in Elite season four?
Season three wrapped with five major characters Mina El Hammani (Nadiya), Ester Expósito (Carla), Danna Paola (Lu), Álvaro Rico (Polo) and Jorge López (Valerio) leaving the show; in the series, they are either dead or have gone off to university. However, Mina, who plays Nadiya, will have a guest appearance in season four after making a cameo in the trailer.
Rest assured, many of your favourites will return to screens this Friday along with new additions to the cast. This includes Itzan Escamilla (Samu), Miguel Bernardeau (Guzmán), Arón Piper (Ander), Omar Shana (Omar), Claudia Salas (Rebeca) and Georgina Amorós (Cayetana), who will all be in the fourth season which was confirmed in an announcement on 20 July with multiple photos posted to Instagram.
Manu Dios, Pol Granch, Carla Díaz and Martina Cariddi will all be new characters at Las Encinas which can only mean more trouble.

What will Elite season four be about?
The fourth season will continue to follow the remaining members of the original cast after the death of Polo and how they will navigate life at Las Encinas. They'll continually be tested by the new kids and the new rules set out at the school which could mean yet another murder if it follows Elite's previous plotlines.

Is there a trailer for Elite season four?
Yes, there is, and once again it seems like the kids won't actually be studying. Netflix published a new teaser in May in advance of the series four premiere in June. The trailer itself, which you can watch above, is addictive, leaving many questions unanswered but soon to be revealed.
The popular show has also been renewed for season five with an announcement posted in February that filming had begun production in Spain. There is still plenty of time to binge the first three seasons on Netflix before the premiere of the highly anticipated season four of Elite.
