Omar Ayuso, who shares the same name as his character, is a pillar of the teen telenovela Elite. He’s been around since the first season of Netflix’s Spanish hit, captivating viewers via his tender romance with heartthrob Ander, played by Arón Piper, and the jarring disapproval his character faces in his Muslim household.
Elite, created by Carlos Montero and Darío Madrona, premiered its seventh season Oct. 20, with Ayuso reprising his role. The series, which announced an eighth and final season over the summer, marks Netflix Spain’s longest-running fictional series.

Netflix has (finally!) announced when Elite fans can check back into Las Encinas.
The long-delayed fourth season of the private-school drama will land on the streaming service Friday, June 18.
An episode order has not been revealed, but it is expected to be in line with the previous three seasons, which spanned eight episodes apiece.
The premiere date means fans will have been waiting 15 months between seasons, but the long delay is due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Elite Season 4 production was forced to shut down, but it resumed a few months ago, and with work on the season has now been completed, production on Elite Season 5 has already commenced.
Yes, fans have a lot of Elite to look forward to, but this won't be the same Elite we know and love.

The trials and tribulations of the students at Las Encinas will continue to be charted at Netflix.
The streamer on Thursday officially ordered a fifth season of the Spanish-language drama Elite, well in advance of its Season 4 premiere.
Netflix made the announcement on Twitter, but Deadline revealed that the fifth season will also bring another two new cast members into the fold in Argentinian actress Valentina Zenere (Cable Girls) and Brazilian actor André Lamoglia (Juacas), but no character details were revealed.
Elite typically likes to keep viewers in suspense when new additions are announced due to the nature of the series.
Each season follows a new mystery in a similar vein to Big Little Lies, with the characters being quizzed by the police about the events.
Elite was renewed for Season 4 in May last year, but production was scuppered due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with the series finishing filming much later than originally planned.

Great news for “Elite” fans: Netflix has renewed the addictive teen thriller for a third season. Season two dropped only a month ago, but it seems Netflix also just can’t get enough of the series.
Created by Carlos Montero and Darío Madrona, the Spanish-language series follows the misadventures of a group of teens who attend an exclusive private school in Spain called Las Encinas. What seemingly begins as a fish-out-of-water story—as three working-class students end up receiving scholarships to attend Las Encinas—quickly turns into a tale about sex, manipulation, more sex, and eventually murder.
Simply put, “Elite” is a series about horny teens in Spain, and Americans—even outside of your standard horny teens demographic—have eaten it up. In fact, not just Americans: According to Netflix in its first four weeks, “Elite” season one was viewed in more than 20 million homes worldwide. And while some may...

Madrid —New school term, new mystery. Beautiful young bodies still make out, in ever more surprising combinations, in “Elite” Season 2.
But there are greater depths and ambition to the Netflix Spanish high-school hit, if the first two episodes of Season 2 and a Madrid press conference involving cast and creators are anything to go by.
First details of “Elite” Season 2 come as the series has been renewed for Season 3, Diego Avalos, director of originals in Spain, announced at the Thursday presentation.
Season 2 follows a tried and tested flash forward format. In the first season of “Elite” someone is murdered. In Season 2, someone goes missing. As the hours tick by – 36 at least by the end of Ep. 2, – hope of finding them alive plunges dramatically.
That set-up gives the suspense thrust to “Elite” Season 2, the Spanish teen crime/social thriller which, produced once more by Zeta Audiovisual, bows on Netflix worldwide on Sept.

The same week that two Muslim-American women make history being sworn into Congress, a Muslim mother and daughter were attacked for wearing hijabs in Texas. No matter what progress appears to have been made, the latter incident highlights the need for education about Muslim people, and Hollywood is slowly answering the call by increasing the number of these portrayals on screen.
“In Trump’s America, it’s not a good situation right now for Muslims and other marginalized communities,” said Sue Obeidi, director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council’s Hollywood bureau. “Being sensitive to what’s happening, the [entertainment] industry, saw an opportunity to help marginalized communities, including Muslims, be represented in a more authentic and positive light.”
Recognizing a need for representation, however, doesn’t always prevent lazy portrayals that often devolve into derogatory or dangerous stereotypes. “The Bold Type” on Freeform, “Superstore” on NBC, “Counterpart” on Starz, and...

Spoiler alert: This review includes some (but not all!) spoilers for the first season of Netflix’s “Élite.”
The first time I heard about Netflix’s new teen drama “Élite” was from a friend was gushing about how it felt like several great shows in one. If it were a mathematical equation, he said, “Elite” would look something like, “The O.C.” multiplied by “Gossip Girl,” divided by “Veronica Mars,” to the power of “Big Little Lies” — which, to be frank, sounded overwhelming. How could it take on so many tropes at once without becoming an overstuffed Frankenstein of a show?
Within 10 minutes, my fears started to melt away. “Élite” does indeed include countless teen show clichés, but it also relishes the opportunity to dig a bit deeper and twist them into more interesting shapes. It interrogates the very tropes it indulges by finding new gears in old plot engines. And...
