Watch: Hot New 'Elite' Trailer Drops for Season 7
Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 2 MIN.
More hookups, more drama, more... threeways? And did we mention more hookups? Netflix has dropped a steamy new trailer for the upcoming seventh season of Spanish-language teen drama "Elite."
"In this new season, Omar is living a new life at the university and far away from Las Encinas, but he is unable to move on," the season synopsis on Netflix reads. The character is played by Omar Ayuso, who was absent from the show for its sixth season after his best friend was killed.
The trailer lets us know right off the bat of Omar's return, as he wakes up gasping from a nightmare. Beside him, a hot male bedmate – presumably his boyfriend, new character Joel – asks, "¿Estás bien?" ("Are you okay?"). Joel is described by Netflix as "Very humble and surviving day by day," and notes that "he's clear that he can't afford to have dreams beyond the present. Until, suddenly, the possibility arises for him to make a 180-degree turn in his life."
Namely, Joel accompanied Omar back to Las Encinas, the elite high school that gives the show its title.
"Thanks to an internship, he decides to return to the school where everything happened to confront his demons face to face," the synopsis continues. But that's not all Omar will come into close contact with: Patrick (Many Rios) and Iván (André Lamoglia) seem on the verge of reconciling (or maybe Patrick is just pining for his ex?), while another handsome new guy, Eric (Gleb Abrosimov), shows up. Netflix describes Eric as "A free-spirited, anti-system, and naturally anarchic individual who hides fears, insecurities, and a constant tendency towards self-destruction."
The school's straight set are as busy as ever, with heavy flirtation and dance floor trios being the order of the day, but a new sports instructor, played by openly bisexual singer Anitta, seems ready to take at least one female pupil under her boxing-gloved wing.
Season 7 will be the show's penultimate; Season 8 has already been announced as its last, so don't miss a single episode.
