Sadly, it is. It was confirmed in October 2023, just days before the debut of season 7, that the show would be ending with its upcoming eighth season.

The show's creator Carlos Montero said at a press conference: "We are shooting the eighth season, which will be the last season of Elite. We ended on a high note. Jaime [Vaca, co-showrunner for season 7], Netflix and I thought it was time to end it.

"I say this with great regret because it’s been several incredible years in which I’ve met wonderful actors, we’ve worked with all the directors we wanted to work with and we’ve had the luxury of having Maribel these last two seasons."

Elite season 8 will officially release on Netflix on Friday 26th July 2024, bringing the hit series to an end.

The official synopsis for the final season says: "The arrival of siblings Emilia and Héctor Krawietz, leaders of Las Encinas alumni association, shake the school foundations.

"Influential, powerful, corrupt and corrupters, the Krawietz will scatter chaos wherever they go and will destroy the lives of those who fall prey to them.

"Only Omar will be able to face them and will be willing to do anything to see them fall, because in the end, they represent everything that has always been wrong in Las Encinas."
