The series, which was not even liked by the fans of the third season, drew a similar picture with the fourth season and was also at the center of criticism with its story full of inconsistencies. However, this did not prevent La Casa de Papel from being one of the most talked about series. Continuing to be the most watched non-English production of Netflix, La Casa de Papel has not yet received official approval from Netflix for the 5th season. However, given the interest of the series to the audience, we can say that the approval of the 5th season is at this point only formal. Even before the coronavirus epidemic broke out, the news in the Spanish press show that preparations for the 5th season of the series started. The fact that Élite, another Spanish TV series of Netflix, received the approval of the third season after the shooting of the season, shows that it is not unusual to start filming before the official approval of such Netflix productions. The statements made by La Casa de Papel creator Álex Pina to El Mundo recently show that Pina and her team have started planning the future of the series. Moreover, if you look at Pina’s explanations, the journey of the series can be continued not only with new seasons, but also with spin-off series. Álex Pina Announces La Casa de Papel’s Spin-off Series Can Be Shot Saying that La Casa de Papel has a very similar identity and spirit to comic books, Álex Pina said that there are many possibilities such as spin-off series and added that all these characters also have a life outside of the robbery. One of the most challenging issues of La Casa de Papel in the last two seasons was to find new ways to keep the Berlin character on the show. This character, who gained the love of the audience, died in season 2, but continued to take place in subsequent seasons with flashback scenes. However, the methods used to bring the character back did not please many viewers. Pina admits this situation to some extent and states that they cannot predict the series to last so long, or that they will never kill the character sooner. So the first character that comes to mind when it comes to a spin-off series is Berlin. A spin-off series focusing on Berlin can be met with interest. In addition, La Casa de Papel, which produces stories that are not possible to bring the character into the series, can also give positive results. Touching on what we can see in the 5th season of La Casa de Papel, Pina announced that the series will remain in Spain in the upcoming seasons. Pina, who said that the idea of carrying the story to America and robbing the banks there was put forward, opposes this idea because he thinks the series works with Spanish robbers, Spanish policemen and Spanish humor and argues that the series should stay in Spain.
