If there’s one thing that Money Heist hasmastered, it’s the cliffhanger. The canceled Spanish series that was reborn onNetflix took the world by storm, sparking a global revolution that has so manynail-biting edge-of-your-seat twists and turns that it’s nearly impossible notto binge it all once you’re hooked. The show is a relentless rollercoaster rideand is oh so addictive. You never know who is going to live and who is going todie. In fact, not even the actors don’t know.
“It’s impossible, really difficult to knowthat because it’s also something they established from the start,” ÚrsulaCorberó (who plays Tokyo), said during the show’s appearance at 2021Television Critics Association summer press tour.. “Alex Pina, he’s alast-minute writer and he’s obsessed as if this was linked with some kind ofinspiration. I think it also helped with the rock n roll vibe of the show andeverything happening so wildly.”
Jesús Colmenar, the producer of MoneyHeist confirmed that the suspense is real for everyone. “Not the director, notthe actress can know even two episodes ahead of what will happen. I think thisworks because it helps us in having more information of how the dramatic arcwill work. It also helps us in having more room to change where the storywill lead us. So nobody knows what will happen. We have this master lineof course of the essential part of the story but the rest can easily change atthe last minute.”
Reasons to watch Money Heist Season 5 Part 1:
1. Thisis not the end of the bank robbery, but the end of Money Heist
According to Colmenar, “We have put all thestops out there and this is the final battle. We get this complete visionof everything and this is not the end of the bank robbery, but the end of MoneyHeist, which is quite a huge thing.”
2. AliciaSierra will shoot the professor and he will die
Unfortunately, the survival of the maincharacters can’t be guaranteed, and fans have been predicting some major deathsin the intervening months before the final season.
Meanwhile, the Professor himself received the shock when disgraced inspector Alicia Sierra managed to infiltrate his hideout.
3. Thereare going to be big surprises in season 5
Colmenar said, “There are going to be bigsurprises, not just from one character but from several. In the first fewepisodes of the season, we are going to start seeing big surprises involvingthe women.”
4. Whois returning to the gang?
In season four, crucial gang member Nairobidied – but that doesn’t mean Alba Flores won’t be part of the next season.
In the same way that Berlin, Moscow, and Oslostill appeared after they had all seemingly exited the show, there could bemore on the horizon for Nairobi.
5. Should we expect Season 6 of Money Heist?
Previously, script coordinator Javier GómezSantander told El Mundo that they hadn’t decided how long the showcould last.
“With La Casa De Papel, we go game bygame, like Simeone. Chapter by chapter, sequence by sequence, line by line,” hesaid. “We do not ever consider how long the show can last. If we got to knowthe scope of the phenomenon, we wouldn’t have thought to kill Berlin.”

6. Comicside of the characters
Alex Pina shared on the options for specificcharacters: “I think Arturito could have a black comedy. Berlin’s case for hisown show is very clear – he’s a misogynist, a psychopath, egocentric, anarcissist, a delinquent, a rapist… but still there are lots of people whoadore him, because he values friendship, loyalty or fraternity.”
“From Nairobi to El Professor… Denver is yetanother character with his own charm. I would love to write all ofthem as spinoffs!”
