Elite season 7 cast: Meet the characters in the Netflix teen drama
The Spanish series returns for its 7th season – here are the new and returning faces.
In Elite season 7, we first find Omar far away from Las Encinas at university, but he's "unable to move on" following Samuel's death, which prompts him to seek out therapy – and return to his old school, where he hopes to confront the ghosts from his past.
But he isn’t the only one having a tough time, with the rest of the students also "silently battling their own hells".
Alongside a number of familiar faces, there are several newcomers in Elite season 7 – recently confirmed to be the penultimate chapter in the drama, which is now set to conclude after season 8.
