Netflix's 'Elite' Renewed for Season 3

One of the best things about Netflix and the big guns in the streaming business is the fact that the shows and films on the service are not just limited to a particular country or a set of people. Almost every other show and film on the service is actually available for streaming to a large number of countries, in several cases, over 150.

Imagine, otherwise, how would we be introduced to fantastic shows like La Casa De Papel (Money Heist) and The Naked Director among many more. On that note, Spanish teen drama, Elite has managed to gain a good amount of following in the USA and some other countries over the past couple of seasons.

To cash in on the same, Elite has now been renewed for a third season, which is scheduled to air in 2020. According to The Hollywood Reporter, actor Ester Expósito from the show announced the news via Netflix's Twitter on Friday (watch it below), noting that season three has already finished filming.

The renewal announcement comes four weeks after season two of the series debuted. Expósito's video also notes the addition of two new members of the cast in Leiti Sene and Sergio Momo, who will play characters named Yeray and Malick.

Elite is produced by Spain's Zeta Audiovisual and creators Carlos Montero and Dario Madrona. It's set at Las Encinas, an exclusive boarding school where three working-class kids (played by Itzan Escamilla, Mina El Hammani and Miguel Herrán) are sent after their school collapses.

The second season wrapped up a murder storyline that had played out over both seasons. 

Netflix has said the first season of Elite was viewed by more than 20 million member accounts worldwide. The company counts a "view" as a member watching at least 70 percent of one episode of a series or 70 percent of a feature film.
