Netflix has sparked a global frenzy by teasing the return of one of its most celebrated programmes. On Saturday, 9 May, the streaming giant released a cryptic trailer confirming the continuation of the Money Heist universe. This news comes five years after the original Spanish thriller reached its conclusion.
A Cryptic Announcement
The new one-minute teaser provides a brief look at what is next for the franchise.It opens with a message stating that the story began with money before becoming gold and priceless treasures. The trailer concludes with a clear promise to viewers.
"The revolution isn't over yet. The world of LA CASA DE PAPEL continues..."
Details about the new project are being kept secret for now. It is currently unclear if the announcement refers to a sixth season of the main show or a new spin-off. The news has been shared just days before the premiere of Berlin Season 2 on 15 May.
The Story So Far
Known as La Casa de Papel in Spain, the series follows a gang of skilled criminals. They are led by a mysterious figure known as the Professor, played by Álvaro Morte. The group famously targeted the Royal Mint of Spain and the Bank of Spain in two high-stakes robberies.
The show is narrated by a character code-named Tokyo, played by Úrsula Corberó. Since its debut on Netflix in 2017, the crime drama has become one of the most successful series in the platform's history. It originally ended with a dramatic fifth season in 2021.
Mixed Reactions from Fans
The announcement has divided the show's dedicated fanbase. Many viewers are delighted at the prospect of seeing their favourite characters return. Some enthusiasts on social media have already labelled it the greatest series of all time.
However, other fans believe the story should have been left alone. Some critics questioned the logic of continuing a finished story, with one person asking where the gang could possibly rob next.
"I know they're milking it at this point but I'm still very excited,” one fan said.
Expanding the Universe
The Money Heist franchise has continued to grow even after the main series ended. The prequel series, Berlin, focuses on the popular character Andrés de Fonollosa. The second season of that spin-off will see the characters move their operations from Paris to Spain.
While the latest teaser confirms the "revolution" is not over, Netflix has not yet set a release date for this new chapter. For now, the original five seasons remain available for those looking to revisit the world of the Professor and his gang.
