Season 2 premiered on September 6—but a third installment is already in the works.
- Season 2 of Netflix’s Elite was just released on September 6. The streaming giant has confirmed to Variety that the show was renewed for season 3.
- In season 1, Marina was murdered by a fellow classmate—and in season 2, viewers will learn what happens after her death…while dealing with the consequences of Samuel’s disappearance.
- Here’s what we predict will happen in season 3 based on (spoilers!) what we’ve seen in season 2 of Elite.
It’s official: Netflix’s Elite is coming back for a third season.
Diego Avalos, the director of Netflix Originals in Spanish, made the announcement during a press conference on August 29. Based on what series creators Carlos Montero and Darío Madrona had to say about the direction of season 2, it’s clear that season 3 will be bigger and better.
“I don’t know how much more money the series cost [this season], but I have the sense the series achieved a leap in quality and, also, that I made the series I wanted to, and that’s a rare sensation,” Montero said.
Season 1 of Elite, according to Variety, was watched by over 20 million household accounts back in October 2018, its first month of release.
Season 2 of the show premiered on September 6 and deals with the aftermath of Marina’s death—while also introducing us to a whole new set of cast members. Given that the tag line for season 2 is “Lies tie us together. Lies tear us apart,” we can only imagine what direction season 3 will go in.
Now that season 2 is here, let’s breakdown what we can expect from season 3 of Elite.
What’s the release date of Elite season 3?
While we know for sure with this new announcement that there will be a season 3, there is no official word yet on when season 3 of Elite will return. But if previous Netflix original seasons are any indication, chances are it will return in fall 2020: Season 1 dropped on October 5, 2018, and season 2 premiered on September 6, 2019.
