It's been several months since Netflix dropped the second season of its salacious teen drama Elite, and luckily we won't have to wait too long for the third installment! On Tuesday, the streaming service announced that the Spanish-language murder-mystery series set in a top-tier private school will return on March 13, only about six months after the season two premiere.

Though there isn't much more information about the upcoming season, we assume it'll pick up after the wild finale for season two. The previous eight episodes introduced a few new characters - Valerio, Cayetana, and Rebeca - gave fans some truly unforgettable moments, and finally exposed Marina's true killer. Of course, since this show is all about privilege, deceit, and all kinds of wicked crimes, they get away with it!

The series was renewed...

The scandalous lives of the Spanish elite will continue to be charted on Elite Season 3. 

We've known for some time now that the show was already renewed, but we could never have expected this bombshell:

Elite Season 3 will premiere on the streamer in March. 

That's a lot earlier than many were expecting, given that Elite Season 2 debuted in September 2019 -- a whole 11 months after the first season debut. 

We already knew that Seasons 2 and 3 were filmed back-to-back, so it's nice to know that we won't be waiting long for the drama to continue. 

Elite is a murder-mystery that follows the teens of a top-tier Spanish private school. You wouldn't believe the things they get up to. 

Though Netflix has yet to drop a trailer or even a synopsis for the third outing, we can only assume it will pick up in the immediate aftermath of the crazy finale. 

Polo was...

Netflix has renewed Spanish teen thriller drama Elite for a third season.

Netflix announced the recommission on Twitter and said the Spanish original has already wrapped filming, with the new season dropping in 2020.

Described as “effervescent, uninhibited and sensual,” the soapy teen series follows the intrigue at Las Encinas, an exclusive boarding school in Spain. It is made by Zeta Audiovisual, which has offices in Barcelona, Madrid and Seville.

As well as announcing Elite‘s renewal, Netflix said Leïti Sène (Poison) and Sergio Momo (Rescue Under Fire) will join a cast that includes Danna Paola, Itzan Escamilla and Miguel Bernardeau.

Elite was created and written by Carlos Montero and Darío Madrona.

Netflix will return to Las Encinas in 2020, now that the streaming service has renewed Spanish-language teen drama Elite for Season 3.

In a video posted Friday, Ester Expósito (who plays Carla) announced the pick-up as well as revealed two new classmates, to be played by Leïti Sène and Sergio Momo (scroll down for a first look). She also shared that production on the next batch of episodes has already wrapped.
