Netflix’s upcoming YA series Olympo hasn’t even premiered yet, but it’s already setting social media ablaze.
The drama, described as Élite meets Black Swan, centers on prestigious athletes at the Pirineos High Performance Center, where ambition, physical limits, and personal rivalries collide.
With a cast led by Clara Galle, Nira Osahia, Agustín Della Corte, and Élite alum Nuno Gallego, Olympo follows Amaia, the captain of the national synchronized swimming team, as she fights to maintain her spot at the top. When her best friend and teammate, Núria, surpasses her for the first time, Amaia realizes something strange is happening—some athletes are getting inexplicably stronger. The question isn’t just who will win but how far they’re willing to go to stay in the race.
While that sounds fun and all, the undeniably queer energy we just got from newly released images is behind all the internet frenzy.
I would like to call your attention to OLYMPO, a new Spanish series coming to Netflix this year that's set at a school for elite athletes

The latest stills have only added fuel to the fire. One shows two men in an intimate locker room moment, while another captures an intense wrestling match with a kind of closeness that toes the line between aggression and desire. The energy is unmistakable, and fans are eating it up.

There's plenty of speculation about which characters will be at the center of Olympo’s queer narratives, with users praising the series for embracing homoerotic tension rather than shying away from it. Given Élite’s track record of delivering compelling LGBTQ+ storylines, expectations are sky-high for Olympo to carry the torch.
