I'm feeling so lucky right now, because after just a brief six-month wait, Season 3 of Elite returns to Netflix on March 13 and we've finally been blessed with a full-length trailer.

If you blinked, you may have missed A LOT of the major teases and glimpses we got in this quick 1:48 long clip. So let's break it down…
Of course, spoilers ahead for the previous seasons of Elite!
1. We start out at what appears to be a graduation party, which makes me sad because, if it were up to me, these kids would just remain students at Las Encinas forever — with a casual murder once a year to spice things up.
2. Polo decides to shoot his shot and ask his former friends (specifically Guzmán) if they can ever forgive him someday. I still hold a grudge because a girl in my high school didn't invite, like, six of us in the grade to her graduation party, but sure Polo. Your former best friend is just gonna forgive the time you MURDERED HIS SISTER.
3. *crickets*
4. Guzmán, rightfully, basically says: "Fuck you very much, and also…no."
5. Valerio checks out Carla, which could either be a plot development or it's just the simple fact that Ester Expósito is a flawless and perfect human that anyone would check out.
6. We get our first glimpse of the most important character on any season of Elite: a pool.
7. Cayetana remains Polo's only ally…
8. …which you can tell Polo doesn't love. Because Cayetana kinda sucks!!!
9. Then, the trailer shifts its focus to what appears to be the overarching plot of Season 3: the aftermath of Polo's return and taking him down.
10. If I had to guess, the show will continue its nonlinear format and fill in a lot of the time gap between Polo's return and present day. For example, this angsty moment between Ander and Polo happens when Ander has long hair and appears to be right when Polo returns, but he clearly has a shaved head in the present day.
11. In other news, Samuel still loves Carla…
12. …and Carla slaps him.
13. Tough luck for Samu — Carla appears to be trying to move on with a new Season 3 character named Yeray.
14. Meanwhile, Rebeca is still trying to capture Samuel's attention.
15. Which might just lead us to an iconic and dramatic showdown between these two:
16. Somebody — and the trailer wants us to think it's Valerio — is doing something sketchy with these bags of lord knows what.
17. Guzmán and Nadia are going to simultaneously bring me so much joy and so much sorrow!!!
18. Because…uhh…this new guy, Malick, might be proposing to Nadia???
19. Lu and Valerio's dad is seemingly kicking Valerio out of the house (unless it's a plot twist and Lu is actually getting the boot!). Based on THAT dinner table scene last season, this seems…reasonable.
20. Omar and Ander seem to be in a bad place, and I'm not okay!
21. So enjoy this flashback kiss while you still can!
22. Moving right along, there's still so much that unfolds in this brief 1:48 clip. Like, Cayetana has a threesome with Polo and Valerio???
23. Nadia hugs Lu, which is just as confusing to Lu as it is for the rest of us.
24. Lives are ~literally~ shattered!!!
25. Rebeca punches this bag…
26. …Samuel punches Valerio!
27. And perhaps all of that punching has to do with this kiss between Valerio and Rebeca????
28. There are so many emotions!
29. When bloody Guzmán cries, we all cry!
30. There is an emphasis on "family," which seems to be about this twisted friend group, or maybe it's something about that whole Valerio situation. Hard to say, honestly!
31. Importantly, my new fave bromance appears to be intact! I won't rest until Samuel delivers a best man speech at Guzmán and Nadia's wedding someday!!!
32. Someone (Guzmán?) is giving the Arthur fist meme a run for its money.
33. Ah yes, I forgot to mention that there were clips of shattered glass falling from the ceiling of another sick party. Well, ABOUT THAT…
34. …turns out, POLO IS DEAD!!!!!! And given that we found this out in the trailer, I would have to guess that the whole season will be flashbacks to figuring out whodunnit. And lord knows they all have a motive.
35. Finally, I simply cannot believe that this lady — the worst investigator ever — still has a job investigating the murders of this friend group!!! In a trailer with a threesome, a murder, and a proposal, THIS is the most over-the-top thing about this season so far.
