An amalgamation of Euphoria and Riverdale, the provocative teen drama, Elite is making a return on April 8 with season 5. Following the format of previous seasons, all eight episodes will drop on the very same day and will be available to stream. 

Even before the premiere of season 4 last year, Deadline broke the news that Netflix renewed the show for another season. Now the streamer has dropped a date announcement teaser trailer for the hungry fans. The teaser has the cast partying at a disco but there’s an underlying tension. 

New additions to the cast 

Elite season 5 adds new cast members apart from the original characters returning to the series. The new cast includes Bilal (Adam Nourou), Iván (André Lamoglia) and Isadora (Valentina Zenere). 

The rest of the cast are given below: 

• Itzan Escamilla as Samuel (“Samu”)
• Omar Ayuso as Omar
• Claudia Salas as Rebeka (“Rebe”)
• Georgina Amorós as Cayetana (“Caye”)
• Carla Díaz as Ariadna (“Ari”)
• Martina Cariddi as Mencía
• Manu Ríos as Patrick
• Pol Granch as Phillipe
• Andrés Velencoso as Armando
• Diego Martín as Benjamin

Elite season 5 plot 

Creators, Carlos Montero and Darío Mandrona, have not revealed too much information about the upcoming season so far. However, we can presume that it is going to pick up from where it left off in season four. Thus, the next season will focus on the aftermath of Guzman accidentally killing Ari’s predator. Meanwhile, Omar is crushed after Ander leaves for a Europe trip with Guzman, and he may forge a relationship with Patrick. Caye may or may not pursue the sexual offender, Phillipe Florian Von Triesenberg. Lastly, we may get to know more about the Las Encinas principal, Benjamin’s motives. 

Fan reactions to date announcement

Some of us have already picked a new crush, while others predict Phillipe’s murder at the hands of Sophia and Cayetana. Regardless, all are awaiting Elite season 5 to drop.
