Netflix picked up Elite Season 8 extremely early. The American streaming giant confirmed the renewal on July 19, 2023, months before Season 7 will premiere, and the grand unveiling included some great news: Mina el Hammani will reprise her role as Nadia in the forthcoming eighth installment.
For starters, Nadia was a key character in the first three installments, but she eventually vanished, as did practically every other original Elite star. She was part of the major cast exodus at the end of Season 3, traveling to New York City with Lucrecia on a scholarship to Columbia University. Nadia made brief appearances in Season 4 to wrap up her romance with her ex Guzmán, which ended abruptly owing to the strains of long distance.
It's unclear which characters will survive Season 7 to resurface in the imminent installment, However, speculations are rife that Nadia may not be the only original Las Encinas student returning in Elite Season 8.
