In season 4, Guzmán (Miguel Bernardeau) runs after Armando (Andrés Velencoso) after physically assaulting Ari (Carla Díaz). Then, he accidentally shoots the businessman with a flare gun. Before the authorities arrived, Guzmán told Samuel (Itzan Escamilla) and Rebe (Claudia Salas) about the murder. 

Ultimately, the pair helped Guzmán hide the body by throwing it in the lake. To avoid suspicion, they devised a story that exonerated Guzmán from murder. Since Armando went missing, will the police create a search party to look for him? If the authorities find the body, will Guzmán be charged with murder? For now, fans will have to wait and see for the new season. 

Will Guzmán and Ander return to Las Encinas?

After Guzmán accidentally killed Armando, he left Spain with his best friend, Ander (Arón Piper). The two decided to travel the world together. But, will Guzmán and Ander return? While Ander’s return remains uncertain, Guzmán is leaving Las Encinas for good. In July 2021, Miguel Bernardeau announced that he wouldn’t return for Elite Season 5. The actor posted a video to the official Elite Twitter account. 

He said, “Hey, this is Miguel Bernardeau, and for those who have already watched the finale of Elite Season 4, I wanted to say goodbye and send you a big hug. Thank you to Netflix for giving us this opportunity, to the creators, and above all to Guzmán for teaching me that no matter where you are, it’s never too late to change. Goodbye.” 

At the moment, it’s unknown if Arón Piper will return to the series. Since the actor has not made an official announcement about his exit, there’s a possibility that Ander might make an appearance in the future.

In the series, Omar (Omar Ayuso) and Ander have remained a prominent couple at Las Encinas. Now that Ander is gone, fans wonder if he would find a new love interest. In season 4, Omar had a brief romance with Patrick (Manu Ríos). Since the couple broke up, will Omar find love in the new season? Or, is there a possibility that he might rekindle his relationship with Partick? At the moment, it remains unknown. But, it would be interesting to see how a new romance would play out on-screen. 

Are Samuel and Ari going to start dating?

Throughout the season, Ari cheated on Guzmán with Samuel. In the season 4 finale, Samuel ended the affair so she could be with Guzmán. However, Ari still had feelings for Samuel, despite their class difference. In the end, Guzmán broke up with Ari before leaving for Madrid to travel with Ander (Arón Piper). 

Now that he is out of the picture, will Samuel and Ari give their relationship a shot? Right now, it’s too early to tell. After being physically assaulted by Armando, she got admitted to a hospital. So, her recovery might be a priority in Elite Season 5. So, it’s unclear if Ari and Samuel will take their relationship to the next level in the next season.

So, when is the fifth season premiering on Netflix? Right now, there is no official release date for Elite Season 5. Elite fans would have to wait for further details from the streaming giant.
