Following the success of Las Chicas del Cable, Netflix is to produce a second original series in Spain.
Written by Carlos Montero and Darío Madrona - who are responsible for some of the recent successes from the Spanish content industry including The Time in Between and Los Protegidos - Élite will be co-produced by Zeta Audiovisual.
“We are happy to be working for first-class producers and writers in Spain to create a teenage thriller which will thrill the global audience,” said Erik Barmack, VP international original series, Netflix.
Élite will tell the story of three working-class youngsters who start studying at one of the country’s most exclusive schools after an earthquake destroyed the district’s public school, when a murder triggers the action.
The announcement follows the recent commissioning of seasons two and three of Las Chicas del Cable, the first Netflix Original to be produced in Spain.
