Created by Alex Pina and produced by Vancouver Media for Netflix, the show has drawn a cult following over its last few seasons, with Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan also admitting he’s a fan.

“We’ve spent almost a year thinking about how to break up the band. How to put the Professor on the ropes. How to get into situations that are irreversible for many characters. The result is the fifth season of La Casa de Papel. The war reaches its most extreme and savage levels, but it is also the most epic and exciting season,” Pina said in a statement.
