Netflix renews the Spanish drama Money Heist for its fifth and final season, and creator Alex Pina promises an “epic and exciting season.”
Money Heist season 5 will be the final season of the Netflix show. The Spanish crime drama has seen a lot of success in its past four seasons, being one of the most popular and talked about shows on the streaming platform. In addition to having great viewership, Money Heist has received critical praise for its jam-packed action and captivating storylines. The show has also won multiple international awards, including an International Emmy Award for Best Drama Series in 2018.
Money Heist, also known as La Casa de Papel, follows a criminal mastermind, who goes by the name “The Professor,” and the group of robbers he recruits to conduct a grand heist in the Royal Mint of Spain and later the Bank of Spain. The master plan escalates when the robbers take in hostages to give some incentive for the public to comply with their demands. The hostage situation leads to tense conflicts with the police as tensions also rise among those involved in the heist. As the thieves rush to complete The Professor’s plans to steal billions of euros, they encounter constant battles with outside threats as well as battles within themselves.
The last season will consist of 10 episodes and will begin production this week. The Spanish series will film in Spain, Portugal and Denmark.
The news of Money Heist ending is surely sad for fans. However, considering Netflix’s tendency to cancel shows around season 3, Money Heist‘s longevity is actually impressive.
