There will be no surprises and the series “La casa de papel” will definitively end with the fifth season, which opens its last five episodes on Netflix next Friday, although the door to the creation of related products is open, its creators confirmed this Tuesday.
“If we are going to have something after ‘La casa’, inspired by ‘La casa’, it is something we are thinking about, but right now it is in the air and we are thinking about it,” said creator Álex Pina at a press conference in Madrid.
“The end of ‘La casa de papel’ is the end of ‘La casa de papel’, the door is not left open, with this the story ends, beyond other types of alternative projects,” said the director. of the most successful Spanish fiction in history, Jesús Colmenar.
Little is known about the last five chapters, beyond that they will be a tribute to everything that has been lived. The maximum secrecy reigns to the point that Netflix has not advanced any episode to the press, not even under embargo, as is usually the case.
It is only known what they have advanced from the platform, which starts just after the death of Tokio (Úrsula Corberó), with the Army inside the Bank of Spain and the band in its darkest hours, with the challenge of getting the gold and get out alive.
“In the first part (which premiered on September 3) the epic of war action reigned and in this second we handled another type of epic, the emotional one. It is the composition of a puzzle that is finally closed. Until the last one, you don’t finish closing the whole trip and understanding what the series as a whole has been, ”explained Colmenar.
“It has a lot of adrenaline and a lot of twists, but it works very well in terms of sentimentality. This ending is very balanced. When they get to the last chapter people are going to keep saying but how are they going to get out of this? We arrived until the last moment with many things to resolve, ”said Pina.
The end of "The Money Heist" it will be a closing with which ends “a very long, bizarre journey, full of adventure and emotionality” that the creators have also lived deeply, as Esther Martínez Lobato pointed out.
“Emotionally, we writers needed to close this trip with great feeling. And in this last part there is a more emotional narrative because we were saying goodbye to them. There are many nods to the series’ own internal narrative, to the origins ”, he commented.
THE ACTORS, BEFORE THE END
The press conference took place hours before an event with fans of the saga is held tonight and most of the protagonists participated in it: Corberó, Álvaro Morte (The Professor), Pedro Alonso (Berlin), Najwa Nimri (Alicia Sierra), Miguel Herrán (Rio), Jaime Lorente (Denver), Belén Cuesta (Manila), Esther Acebo (Stockholm), Darko Peric (Helsinki), Hovik Keuchkerian (Bogotá) and Luka Peros (Marseille).
“The ending enchanted me. It seems to me that it was very difficult to solve this shed, “said Nimri. “Either way, nobody is going to like the ending because nobody likes things to end. But the important thing is the trip, what happened is strong enough ”, added Lorente.
It will not be in this last part, after its "death", Úrsula Corberó. “With volume two I’m very excited because I haven’t read the scripts, I don’t know what’s going on, I’ve decided not to watch the last chapters. I really want to see this last part as a spectator, “said the actress, almost recovered from her brutal end.
“It was very hard. I am super happy with the end of Tokyo. I don’t know if I have to say this, but in part I wanted it to happen that way. Tokyo was one of the characters who were cannon fodder from the beginning. There is something very poetic and beautiful and dreamlike in what Tokyo says about living several lives", he counted.
THE SERIES THAT HAS CHANGED SPANISH FICTION
If something has been “La casa de papel”, one of the most watched productions in the history of the platform, according to Netflix recently, it is a before and after for Spanish fiction.
“It was difficult for us to sell the series to other countries, you had to go one by one. Placing ourselves on Netflix and releasing in 191 countries at the same time. Playing in those leagues and being in their ranking has placed the industry in a place that we did not dare to think about ”, according to Álex Pina.
And it is that in Spain, he added, "we have always been very self-conscious. We talked about fiction and we said ‘she’s a Spaniard’. And we said it like ‘we could never get anywhere’. And now we have arrived and many other people are arriving. Suddenly we have made the local look and we beat them in many cases. This trip is the trip of a consolidation of the Spanish industry and a way of telling stories ”.
