‘Money Heist’ season 5: Series creator Alex Pina shares renewal update; Theories and plot predictions if the drama returns

Fans want “Money Heist” season 5 now after watching the entire fourth installment that was released in the first week of April. Just like in the previous seasons, the finale was full of cliffhangers that really left the viewers craving for more.

As expected, “Money Heist” season 4 that is also known as “La Casa de Papel,” offered a dramatic ending that is also intense. But then, before fans can see what will happen next, the Spanish crime drama must be renewed by Netflix first.

Is the drama already renewed?

The highly-anticipated show finally landed on the streaming site on April 3, and all of its eight episodes have been released. As many fans are waiting for “Money Heist” season 5 renewal news, series creator Alex Pina has something to say about it. Since Netflix has not released any update yet, he admitted that he himself is also not certain about it yet.

He revealed that he also heard from fan comments and other sources that “Money Heist” season 5 has been confirmed, and even the sixth season was also given the “go” signal. However, he said that no one from Netflix had informed him about it yet.

“Someone knows there will be a fifth season, but we don't," he told the Spanish outlet ABC. “There were discussions about it but there is no official decision as of this time.”

As per Express, Marca, a Spanish publisher, also reported the same thing - that “Money Heist” has been approved to produce its fifth and sixth seasons. “With La Casa De Papel, we go game by game, like Simeone,” script coordinator, Javier Gomez Santander, told the outlet. “We do not ever consider how long the show can last.”

Theories, plot predictions, and possible release date

“Money Heist” season 5 is predicted to have longer exposure to the new character called Manila. Fans theorized that she would be the gang member who will kill Arturo. She shot the hated character after learning he raped their fellow hostage Amanda and Manila went after Arturo.

But then, since he was only shot in the leg and likely to live, it was predicted that in “Money Heist” season 5, Manila will not let him get away with it and will hunt him until he’s dead. Finally, the upcoming installment, if renewed, is likely to be back in late 2021.
