“Elite” will have a crossover with another Netflix series and two signings “that will revolutionize” season 7

“Elite” is not only not in decline, but continues to be one of Netflix’s strongest franchises. The series created by Carlos Montero and Darío Madrona will debut with its sixth season on November 18, the second that we will see this year by the students of Las Encinas. The fifth season closes with a death, several goodbyes and a heated controversy over the plot of the characters of Pol Granch and Valentina Zenere, in which it was condemned that it seemed that a sexual offender was redeeming himself. We sit down with Montero and Jaime Vaca, the captains of season six, who respond to that complaint by explaining that Isadora’s storyline has always been intended as a two-season span: “We start the season with a very antagonistic Isadora, with an almost anti-feminist speech because it is very easy to give an opinion when you have experienced something firsthand. Now let’s see what happens when she experiences it” says Jaime Vaca. Carlos Montero adds: “We always wanted to tell people, ‘Wait, what’s next!’ All the answers you’re asking were already in our heads. It was both sides. We were supposed to be where we were supposed to get to where we are now. “. Likewise, it highlights: “We never thought it would cause so much debate. Those things always escape you.”.

Montero trusts the intelligence of his audience, even if the shapes are not always what he would like: “Generating conversation is fine, and then the audience is adult enough, even if they’re teenagers, to draw their own conclusions. Sometimes they come in the form of anger, insulting you. But that’s the way they express themselves. life and Twitter is that. You have to remove that anger to be with: ‘okay, I disagree with the ways we said it’. Okay, okay. “. While maintaining an attitude of not letting criticism reach you, you know it is “unavoidable” that some make a dent. Jaime Vaca chooses to cross them as little as possible: “I try not to read. Especially since there are some reviews that lead you but there are others written on autopilot.. Those don’t contribute much “.

The series has always been linked to controversy, but its creator is to leave the past where it is: “I don’t look back very much because I torture myself a lot”. His partner explains that they have never ruled out a cowardice plot, he always has been “by accumulation”. There are others who have had a hard time moving forward due to other obstacles, such as the introduction of a trans character, a thorn she has been able to remove with Nico, Ander Puig’s character this season: “We didn’t bring up the issue of transsexuality because we couldn’t find the actor or actress. We finally found it in Ander, which is wonderful. We really wanted it, so we went for everything. We tried it two seasons ago and we couldn’t find the actor … I had written quite a bit, but we thought we’d do it when we found him. “ says Carlos Montero.

“A lot of little things are coming” in season 7

Although we still have the sixth season ahead of us, they already have their heads on the seventh season, which has recently become official, and with bombs like the return of Omar Ayuso or the addition of Maribel Verdú to the cast: “We wanted to show people that we continue to trust the show, that we are still alive and eager. Casting sends a message.” explains Carlos Montero. But things don’t end there. In our interview, the showrunners confirm this They hope to have two more dream signings this season “revolutionize, especially one” Montero advances. And they are willing to demonstrate their power within the Netflix universe with a crossover with another series on the platform: “It’s something that was suggested to us, it didn’t come from us, but we found it funny and we integrated it”. As Jaime Vaca says: “Many things are coming”. What series will it be?

The sixth season of “Elite” debuts on Netflix on November 18.
