Netflix unveils 'Money Heist' season 5 first look images
Jun 04, 2021
Washington [US], June 4 : Netflix has released the first look images from the hotly anticipated fifth and final season of the insanely popular series 'Money Heist' (La Casa de Papel).
The first look images were shared on the show's official Instagram page.
The images reveal the chaos both inside and outside of the Bank of Spain; with the Professor (Alvaro Morte) caught off guard after Sierra (Najwa Nimri) finds his hideout and with Lisbon (Itziar Ituno) now safely inside the bank. The gang must bring out its toughest side to survive, fuelled by anguish, more weapons and the desperation of not having a plan.
'Money Heist' is Netflix's most successful Spanish series to date, and was its top non-English-language foray until the French series 'Lupin' debuted in December, reported Variety.
The series focuses on a group of misfit con artists and robbers who convene under the guidance of "the Professor" to rob major banks in Spain.
The series originated on Spanish network Antena 3 to lukewarm ratings before Netflix breathed new life into the program, transforming it into the biggest show to ever emerge from the Spanish market.
The streamer had in July last year given the go-ahead to the upcoming season of 'Money Heist'. The fifth season will mark the end of the gang's ongoing robbery at the Bank of Spain.
Created by Alex Pina and produced by Vancouver Media, the Spanish series became an instant hit on Netflix when it released.
Pina is the executive producer and showrunner with Jesus Colmenar and Cristina Lopez Ferraz also set as executive producers. Javier Gomez Santander (head writer), Migue Amodeo (Director of Photography) and Esther Martinez-Lobato are also co-producing with Colmenar, Koldo Serra, and Alex Rodrigo directing.
'Money Heist' Part Five features an astonishing cast of Spanish superstars returning to the show, led by Ursula Corbero, Alvaro Morte, Itziar Ituno, Pedro Alonso, Miguel Herran, Jaime Lorente, Esther Acebo, Enrique Arce, Darko Peric, Hovik Keuchkerian, Luka Peros, Belen Cuesta, Fernando Cayo, Rodrigo de la Serna, Najwa Nimri and Jose Manuel Poga.
Part Five also sees the addition of Miguel Angel Silvestre and Spanish Academy Award-nominee Patrick Criado.
The final part of 'Money Heist' will be divided into two volumes, to be released on September 3 and December 3.
