"La Casa de Papel" has come to an end. But things don't stop there...

Netflix's first and biggest non-English language heist saga, La Casa de Papel, comes to an end today, with the premiere of the last five episodes, on the streaming platform. The fifth part doi split in two - the first "Volume 1" premiered in September this year.

To avoid any spoilers about the outcome of the series, Netflix has not said anything about "La Casa de Papel, Part 5, Volume 2". The press was not allowed to watch the new episodes in advance, and during the online press conference with cast and creators of the series, held in Madrid last Tuesday (30), no information was advanced to journalists.

The cast and creators simply rehashed what Alex Pina, the director, had been saying even before the start of the recording of the fifth season; "this one will be more exciting" than the first one which invested more in action.

"It's a little bit distinctive, also because in some ways we're ending a very long journey, full of adventure. On the one hand, we have this debt to finish the characters' stories well. And emotionally we, the authors of the series, need to close that journey with a lot of feeling. I think the most emotional narrative was very much on our part, because we are also saying goodbye to all of them," explains Ester Martínez Lobato, creator of the series alongside Álex Pina.

It was never supposed to end... and "the robbery may have come to an end, but the story continues..."

Netflix has created the "Universe of La Casa de Papel", of which there are already two derivatives. One of the series' most praised characters, Berlin (Pedro Alonso), will star in a series of his own, which is expected to premiere in 2023.

In addition, "La Casa de Papel" will get a South Korean version, with actor Park Hae-Soo from "Round 6," thus bringing two big Netflix hits together and giving rise to a third product.

In this union we find an important legacy of "La Casa de Papel". The series was the first non-English language series on Netflix to resonate worldwide, which paved the way for productions in other languages to also shine, such as the aforementioned South Korean "Round 6" and the French "Lupin" - both with the 2nd and 3rd season, respectively already confirmed, - and the German "Dark".
