Elite season 8 cast: Meet the characters in the Netflix teen drama

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know some truly remarkable actors who graced our screens in Money Heist, and today I’d like to share my thoughts on a few of them, focusing on their unique backgrounds and experiences that added depth to their characters.


Get ready for the last ride of Elite’s seventh season! You can watch the final eight episodes, filled with thrilling young adult drama, on Netflix instantly. The series reaches its heartfelt end.

The story opens with focusing on underprivileged students attending the elite Las Encinas school for the wealthy, where regulations are frequently disregarded, and chaos often ensues.

After that, the program has seen a continuous flow of new actors joining the team, some of whom have gained significant fan affection, approaching the level of adoration for the original stars.

In the eighth season, both Omar Aysuo, portraying Omar, and Mina El Hammani as Nadia are essential figures. Notably, El Hammani’s character, Nadia, makes a comeback after an extended hiatus. However, this return raises questions about her character development.

He told Queerty about wrapping up the Spanish teen show: “Honestly, I don’t view this as a farewell to the program since I had already bid adieu when I departed during the fifth season’s finale.”

I’ve been a dedicated fan of Élite since its inception, and for me, the original cast holds a special place in my heart. Although some members of the team have remained constant, the shift in the series feels like an entirely new project to me. It’s as if I’m working on a spin-off, even though I’m still very much involved with Élite. My connection to the show and its characters has evolved over time, and this latest chapter represents a fresh perspective for me.
