‘Money Heist’ Season Five First Look Images Revealed by Netflix (Details)

Netflix reveals first look images from “Money Heist” Part Five; the second season of BritBox U.K.’s “The Beast Must Die” is being developed; Key Buyers Event: Digital introduces co-production forum; Entertainment One’s Kate Morton to join BBC Children’s; and free streamer Pluto TV expands deal with LG Electronics.

Netflix has released several first look images from the hotly anticipated fifth and final season of “Money Heist,” also known as “La casa de papel.”

Netflix describes the season thus: “The gang has been shut in the Bank of Spain for over 100 hours. They have managed to rescue Lisbon, but their darkest moment is upon them after losing one of their own. The Professor has been captured by Sierra and, for the first time, doesn’t have an escape plan. Just when it seems like nothing else could go wrong, an enemy comes on the scene that is much more powerful than any they’ve faced: the army. The end of the greatest heist in history is approaching, and what began as a robbery will turn into a war.”

The images reveal the chaos both inside and outside of the Bank of Spain; with the Professor caught off guard after Sierra finds his hideout and with Lisbon now safely inside the bank. The Gang must bring out its toughest side to survive, fuelled by anguish, more weapons and the desperation of not having a plan.

The series is created by Álex Pina and produced by Vancouver Media, a television production company founded by Pina, which has also developed “Heist,” “The Pier,” and “White Lines,” with “Sky Rojo” its newest addition.

The final part of “Money Heist” will be divided into two volumes, to be released on Sept. 3 and Dec. 3.

“Money Heist” Part Five features an astonishing cast of Spanish superstars returning to the show, led by Úrsula Corberó, Álvaro Morte, Itziar Ituño, Pedro Alonso, Miguel Herrán, Jaime Lorente, Esther Acebo, Enrique Arce, Darko Peric, Hovik Keuchkerian, Luka Peros, Belén Cuesta, Fernando Cayo, Rodrigo de la Serna, Najwa Nimri and José Manuel Poga. Part Five also sees the addition of Miguel Ángel Silvestre (“Sky Rojo,” “30 Coins”) and Spanish Academy Award-nominee Patrick Criado (“La gran familia española,” “Vivir sin permiso”).
