- Money Heist (Spanish: La Casa de Papel, lit. 'The House of Paper') is a Spanish heist crime drama media franchise created by Álex Pina. It is centered around a television series which followed two long-prepared heists led by the Professor. The narrative of the series is told in a real-time-like fashion, relying on flashbacks, time-jumps, hidden character motivations, and an unreliable narrator (Tokyo) for complexity. The franchise was launched with the two-part, 15-episode limited television series Money Heist (Spanish: La Casa de Papel, lit. 'The House of Paper'), which premiered on Spanish network Antena 3 on May 2, 2017. Despite little ratings success during its initial run (in spite of its positive reviews), the series went on to become an international hit when the first part was released outside Spain on Netflix in late 2017. As a result of the series' success, Netflix bought the rights from Antena 3's parent company, Atresmedia Televisión, and ordered 26 additional episodes that were released across three parts. The fifth and final part was released across two volumes on September 3 and December 3, 2021, respectively. Following the original series' conclusion, a South Korean remake, Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area (Korean: 종이의 집: 공동경제구역; Hanja: 종이의 집: 共同經濟區域; RR: Jongi-ui Jip: Gongdonggyeongjeguyeok, lit. 'House of Paper: Joint Economic Area'), was released on June 24, 2022, with its second part being expected to be released on December 9, 2022; and a spin-off series, , is in development and slated for a 2023 release. Both the original series and its South Korean remake enjoyed consistently positive reviews over the years. In addition to the television and streaming series, two making-of documentary films, Money Heist: The Phenomenon and , were released between 2020 and 2021. A video game was also announced to be in development. (en)
