The trailer for Part 5 Vol. 1 of Money Heist is finally here!

The first look at La Casa De Papel (aka Money Heist)’s fifth season has been revealed!

The final season of Netflix‘s La Casa De Papel (aka Money Heist) will debut part five in two separate installments a few months apart.

Alvaro Morte and Najwa Nimri are best known for playing the Professor and Alicia Sierra in the hit series Money Heist.

La Casa de Papel, better known in the English-speaking world as Money Heist, has wrapped on its fifth and final season for Netflix.

The fourth season of Money Heist was released on Netflix earlier this month, picking up from where series three ended with the gang holding hostages and locking themselves in the Bank of Spain.The Professor (played by Álvaro Morte) was initially the one who got the gang together but in the third series, he is persuaded to do another job in a bid to get back Rio (Miguel Herrán) who was captured by the Panama authorities.

The world is currently under a lockdown owing to the global outbreak of Coronavirus. To bring some cheer to the people under self-quarantine, Netflix released the fourth season of Money Heist also called La Casa de Papel. The actor who essays the lead part of Professor said in an interview to PTI that he took inspiration from the superheroes that exist in our universe. The actor who recently won the internet with his version of Bella Ciao said that he likes to study his characters deeply. Alvaro goes on to add that he added some physical gestures to the character of the Professor only after studying it internally.

Money Heist gave us two iconic songs: My Life Is Going On and Bella Ciao. While YouTube has several versions of My Life Is Going On, people cannot get enough of Bella Ciao. The Italian folk song was introduced on the show courtesy the Professor and Berlin. Today, the song has become synonymous with ‎La Casa de Papel. With Money Heist Season 4 releasing today, it goes without saying that we are humming the popular song. Turns out, fans aren't the only ones singing the song. 

*SPOILERS ALERT* For someone who is social distancing and enjoying the peace and quiet, there have been several suggestions pointed at me in terms of TV Shows to binge-watch during said free time, post work from home of course. One show that is topping my list so far has to be La Casa de Papel, better known as Money Heist. As someone who loves heist genre movies, at first glance, I thought it would like another Ocean's 11 rip-off. But, I was farther from the truth!

The fifth season of the hit Netflix series Money Heist is in the works and Alvaro Morte, who plays The Professor, is opening up about what he thinks could happen.
