Netflix has confirmed the cancellation of Season 2 of its Indian remake of the Spanish series Élite, known locally as Class. Despite initial plans for a second season following its renewal in March 2023, statements from cast members indicate that production will not move forward. This decision marks a significant shift for a show that had garnered attention upon its debut.
Actor Ayesha Kanga shared her disappointment in an interview with Financial Express, stating in October 2025, “It’s only bad news,” and confirming that “it’s not happening.” The cancellation was further validated by fellow cast member Gurfateh Pirzada, who expressed his sentiments on Instagram on February 6, 2026. He remarked, “Unfortunately, we could not give you another season because life usually has other plans.”
Background on the Series
Netflix first announced Class in September 2022 as a Hindi adaptation of the popular Spanish series Élite, which aired for eight seasons and concluded with a total of 64 episodes. The Indian adaptation premiered on February 3, 2023, focusing on three working-class students navigating life in a prestigious private high school that caters to affluent families.
The series briefly achieved notable success, ranking in Netflix’s global Top 10 Non-English Series for one week and maintaining a presence in India’s Top 10 for seven weeks. It also appeared in the Top 10 in neighboring Bangladesh and Pakistan for five weeks each.
Following the show’s initial success, Netflix announced plans for a second season in early March 2023 as part of a broader slate of renewals for its Indian content. Reports from the Times of India in September 2024 indicated that filming for Season 2 would commence “in the coming months,” yet no further updates were provided, leading to uncertainty among fans and cast alike.
Cast Reactions and Future Prospects
During a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA), cast member Anjali Sivaraman engaged with fans but notably did not address inquiries regarding the show’s future. Meanwhile, Gurfateh Pirzada revealed that he learned of the cancellation in the last week of 2024, expressing his frustration with the fate of the project. “I came down with a high fever and thought not again…not another one of my projects getting shelved,” he noted.
As the news of the cancellation permeates through social media and entertainment circles, Netflix has yet to issue an official statement. Observers noted that the platform quietly removed the label indicating “It’s Official: Another Season is Coming” from the show’s catalogue listing, further confirming the end of the anticipated second season.
The sudden cancellation of Class leaves fans of the series and the original Élite series disappointed, highlighting the unpredictable nature of streaming content production.
