Netflix launched their first-ever season of Money Heist (also known as La Casa De Papel) back in 2017, and ever since then, it has been the talk of the town. Developed by Álex Pina, this show had its original run on a Spanish network, Antena 3. The first part of this nail-biting crime drama was aired on 20th December 2017, and since then it has broken more records than most other hit series on Netflix.
The fourth season of Money Heist which was released on 3rd April 2020, consisting of eight episodes in total, gained a viewership of 65 million that too within the first few weeks of its release, validating its popularity.
Is Money Heist Season 5 confirmed?
Yes! Netflix has confirmed the next part of this top-notch thriller and as far as the dates are concerned, season 5 is expected to launch in the first half of 2021. Its happy-sad news for the fans as Netflix has also stated in their Instagram post that “THE HEIST COMES TO AN END; PART 5” confirming season 5 as the final part of this Spanish series.
Money Heist Season 5 cast: New faces to get featured
There wouldn’t be much of a shift in the cast of Money Heist season 5. One will get to see Úrsula Corberó as Tokyo, Álvaro Morte as The Professor, Itziar Ituño as Lisbon, Esther Acebo as Stockholm, Jaime Lorente as Denver, Rodrigo De Los Angeles Serna as Palermo, Darko Peric as Helsinki, Herrán as Rio, and Pedro Alonso as Berlin of course. There is a high possibility of Alba Flores not being there in the next part, considering her character ‘Nairobi’ was shot dead in the fourth season.
Apart from the existing cast, three more characters are reported to be seen: Miguel Ángel Silvestre, whose character is most certainly thought to be of a new villain; the second cast member announced is Patrick Criado; and lastly, José Manuel Seda. Fans can expect these new additions in the next part of Money Heist.
Rumors are that the production of the next season has already begun. If that is the case, we can very well expect the new season to launch in 2021, but at the same time we shouldn’t forget that the present global pandemic situation might take a toll on the filming schedules.
