Did you ever actually consider killing Samuel off? If so, why did you decide not to?įrom the very beginning, we knew we wanted to keep the flash-forward structure, but not do the exact same thing. Season two centered on Samuel’s disappearance, who, for a very brief moment, was believed to be dead. Season one was laser-focused on solving the mystery of Marina’s killer. We had a pretty good idea of where we wanted to go, so I don't think the reaction did really change much - or anything at all - about the season. How did the popularity of the show, as well as fans’ passionate responses to every twist and surprise, inform how you approached season two?ĭario Madrona: When the first season came out, we were already working on the second season, just in case we got renewed. Is he the new villain?Ī week after the new episodes dropped on Netflix, Elite co-creator Dario Madrona answered ET's biggest questions, submitted over email, about the juiciest twists of the season, including Polo's stunning finale move, those red-hot hookups (Nadia and Guzman!) and what this all means for the upcoming third season.ĮT: The first season of Elite blew up when it dropped on Netflix last fall. And so, when Polo stepped back in the hallways of Las Encinas, his murder-y ways no longer a secret, everything changed. During his interrogation, Polo didn't exactly come clean about his part in Marina's death. Instead, he deflected any and all attention away from himself to "the real killer." (Spoiler alert: He is the real killer!) Without actual physical evidence to convict him - his new girlfriend, wannabe socialite Cayetana ( Georgina Amoros) somehow knew where the murder weapon (a prized school trophy) was buried at the bottom of the lake and retrieved it for him - the investigator was forced to let him go. Everything built up to the finale when Carla ( Ester Exposito), riddled with a guilty conscience after thinking Samuel ( Itzan Escamilla) wasn't actually missing but was dead (a crazy plan successfully concocted by unlikely allies Samuel and Guzman to bring down the real masterminds), confessed everything she knew about who was ultimately responsible for Marina's death: her ex-boyfriend, Polo ( Alvaro Rico).īut in classic Elite fashion, there was more to the story than that. Netflix's buzzworthy Spanish-language teen soap, featuring twists, turns and red-hot hookups that would make even the Upper East Siders of Gossip Girl blush, closed out another riveting eight-episode ride - the ramifications of Marina's season one death finally coming to an ugly resolution.
