Ester, Danna, Alvaro, Mina, and Jorge say goodbye to Elite
A guide to the main characters leaving Elite at the end of season 4 and the new characters joining the cast.
Elite season 5 is officially in the works and it looks like there are going to be some major changes to the cast going forward.
Fans of Elite will already know that no character is safe in the beloved teen drama. Whether they get killed off (Marina, Polo) or simply leave Las Encinas (Lu, Carla, Nadia, Valerio), you never know who is going to stay in the show season on season. Elite season 4 introduced four brand new characters (Ari, Patrick, Mencía, Phillipe) but who will be in Elite season 5?

New Elite season 5 cast members have already been announced and the Elite season 4 ending suggests that some original cast members have left too.
WARNING: Major spoilers for Elite season 4 ending ahead!
Elite season 4 ends with Ander (Arón Piper) and Guzmán (Miguel Bernardeau) breaking up with Omar and Ari on good terms, and opting to finish their final school year early to go off travelling. With that in mind, it seems very likely that both Arón and Miguel have left Elite for good.
However, given that Guzmán has just killed Armando and hid his dead body in a lake, with the help of Samuel and Rebeka, it's also possible that he and Ander will be forced to end their travels if Armando's body is found and the police want to question them.
It's also unclear if Phillipe (Pol Granch) will be back given that his crimes of sexual assault have now been exposed.

As it stands, Netlfix have revealed that three new cast members will be joining Elite season 5. Argentinian actress Valentina Zenere, Brazilian actor André Lamoglia and French actor Adam Nourou are all entering the world of Elite as Sofia, Gonzalo and Eric respectively.
They will each play new students at Las Encinas. However, Netflix are yet to reveal any information about their characters.
Bring on Elite season 5!
