Money Heist Season Five: All About The Finale Of This Thriller Series

Money Heist season five cast: Money Heist (or La Casa de Papel), the much loved Spanish web series, is coming to an end in 2021. This Spanish crime drama created by Álex Pina is one of the most popular shows on a digital platform. The series traces two heists led by a criminal mastermind, The Professor. One of them takes place in the Royal mint of Spain and the other in the Bank of Spain. Both of these are narrated from the perspective of one of the robbers, Tokyo. The major reason behind the popularity of the series is its thrilling storyline and stellar star cast.

Series overview

Set in Madrid, Spain, Money Heist introduces us to 'The Professor', a mysterious man who recruits a group of eight people to carry out an ambitious plan that involves robbing the Royal Mint of Spain of 1.2 billion Euros. The team takes 67 people hostage and plans to remain inside the Mint for 11 days to print the money as they deal with elite police forces. The group is gradually forced out of hiding and start preparing for a second heist. This time their target is the Bank of Spain.

In the last season Money Heist, we find that the gang has been locked in the Bank of Spain for more than 100 hours. The Professor has been captured and he has no escape plan.
