Netflix 'Elite' Season 5 Full Cast List: Meet Omar Ayuso and other actors
'Elite' is one of those Netflix shows that comes with a lot of drama and plot twists. As the series returns for Season 5, viewers expect another intense outing that will keep them at the edge of their seats. Created by Carlos Montero and Daro Madrona, the Spanish-language thriller teen drama is set in Las Encinas, a fictional exclusive secondary school, and explores the friendships of three working-class students who attend on a scholarship and their rich classmates.
The show's cast has undergone some changes. Arón Piper (Ander) and Miguel Bernardeau (Guzmán Nunier Osuna) from the original cast are no longer in the main cast. They go on a trip together at the end of Season 4, and it's doubtful they'll return in Season 5 unless they make cameo appearances. Itzan Escamilla, Omar Ayuso, Claudia Salas, Georgina Amorós, Carla Daz, Martina Cariddi, Manu Ros, Pol Granch, and Diego Martin feature in Season 5 of 'Elite.' For the new season, Valentina Zenere, André Lamoglia, and Adam Nourou have joined the cast.
