And how it completely slipped under the radar. The marketing? A total mess.
In Spain (and most Spanish-speaking countries), people didn’t even give it a fair chance. Because, of course, it carries that label — “from the creators of Elite.”
Teenagers. Sex. Drugs. Drama. Repeat. It’s been done to death. The audience is tired.
So everyone said: “no thanks, we’ve seen this before.” And that’s how Olympo was silently buried.
They didn’t even try to change that perception. That trailer — the infamous human pyramid — looked like a sexual metaphor, when the show actually has way less sex than people think. But once that clip dropped, the “Elite but with athletes” label stuck like glue.
Here’s the thing: Olympo isn’t perfect.
There are holes in the story, characters that deserved more depth (unless they were fan favorites), the doping plot barely gets attention, and the mystery of what Olympo really is never fully unfolds.
You want to know what happens next.
It just needed time. Breathing room. Eight episodes. Forty-five minutes each. Netflix really didn’t give it enough space to shine, Everything feels rushed, with 10 episodes and fifty-minute chapters some things would have made sense.
And now… renewal? Probably not happening. The cast trained for months — actual physical prep — and most of them have moved on. If it does get renewed, we might not see it before mid-2027. Which is such a shame, cause beneath the weak marketing and unfair comparisons,.there’s something good in there. Something raw, ambitious, and genuinely human.It just needs a second chance — and a better team behind it.
We deserve it, The cast deserves it
Don’t let Olympo fade into silence
