Elite

Elite is a Spanish teen drama and thriller series created by Carlos Montero and Darío Madrona for Netflix, which premiered on October 5, 2018 and concluded on July 26, 2024 after eight seasons. The story unfolds at Las Encinas, a fictional elite private school in Madrid, where three working-class students admitted through a scholarship program clash with their wealthy classmates, and the tension, jealousy and rivalry gradually escalate into murder.

The series highlights its mystery element through a flash-forward narrative that sets each season across two timelines, and it drew attention for tackling bold themes such as homosexuality, class discrimination, parental neglect, drug use and crime. The first season earned positive reviews, with critics praising its writing, performances and handling of mature subjects, and it was often described as a "guilty pleasure," quickly becoming one of Netflix's most talked-about international teen productions.
