Netflix is back in business with the Spanish teen drama Elite – here’s everything to know about its cast of actors and their characters for Season 7.
Set at the fictional Las Encinas High School, Elite centers on a trio of students enrolled through the school’s scholarship program as they try to fit in with their much wealthier and more well-off group cohorts.
Exploring much more progressive themes than most teen dramas, such as sexuality and identity, the show has received near-universal praise, averaging an incredible 93% Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Also unique to the series is that each season takes place in two different timelines, adding a feeling of mystery with plot elements that span both timelines, leaving fans continually intrigued by what happens next.
Omar Aysuo – Omar Shanaa

Played by Omar Aysuo, Omar Shanaa’s story centers around his identity, being a young homosexual man coming to terms with his sexuality in an extremely conservative Muslim family.
Originating from Palestine, Omar seeks out his family’s acceptance for who he is, despite hiding much of his life from them to avoid conflict.
Season 7 sees Omar adapting to life at college. However, he is still struggling to move on after Samuel’s death, going to therapy and eventually taking on an internship that forces him to face his past head-on.
Elite is the biggest role of Ayuso’s short career thus far, although he’s set to star in his first theatrical film, 8 Años, which does not yet have a release date
Valentina Zenere – Isadora Artiñán
