Netflix has officially canceled Season 2 of its Indian remake of the popular Spanish series Élite, titled Class. Despite an initial renewal announcement in March 2023, recent statements from cast members and updates on the streaming platform indicate that the planned second season will not move forward.
Ayesha Kanga, one of the show’s stars, confirmed the disappointing news in an interview with Financial Express in October 2025, stating simply, “It’s only bad news,” and added that “it’s not happening.” On February 6, 2026, fellow cast member Gurfateh Pirzada echoed this sentiment in an Instagram post, expressing regret that “we could not give you another season because life usually has other plans.”
Background on Class and Its Reception
Netflix announced the Indian adaptation of Élite in late September 2022. The show premiered on February 3, 2023, and quickly garnered attention for its portrayal of three working-class students navigating life at a prestigious private high school attended by wealthy families. Class made a notable impact, featuring in Netflix’s global Top 10 Non-English Series for one week and remaining in India’s Top 10 for seven weeks. It also achieved similar success in Bangladesh and Pakistan, spending five weeks each in their respective Top 10s.
Initially, Netflix indicated its confidence in the series by announcing a second season on March 6, 2023, as part of a broader strategy to renew popular content in India. Reports from Times of India in September 2024 suggested that filming for Season 2 would begin “in the coming months.” However, no further updates were shared regarding production, leading to speculation about the show’s future.
Cast Reactions and Official Silence
During a Reddit AMA, actress Anjali Sivaraman avoided questions about the show’s renewal but mentioned her close relationships with co-stars, which heightened fans’ hopes for the return of Class. Despite these sentiments, Pirzada revealed he learned of the cancellation in the last week of 2024, describing his reaction: “I came down with a high fever and thought not again…not another one of my projects getting shelved.”
While Netflix has not released an official statement regarding the cancellation, it has removed the “It’s Official: Another Season is Coming” label from the show’s catalogue listing, signaling the end of any anticipation for a continuation of the series.
The cancellation of Class marks a notable moment in Netflix’s content strategy in India, reflecting the challenges of adapting international hits for local audiences. Fans of Élite and the Indian adaptation now face uncertainty regarding future projects in the genre, leaving many to wonder what might have been for the series.
