Money Heist season 5 is dropping on September 3

The show's creator, Álex Pina - who was also behind another Netlfix original, White Lines (co-written by the team behind The Crown) - said that "when we began to write Part 5 in the midst of the pandemic, we felt that we had to change what was expected from the ten-episode season". He describes using the mid-season break and finale format, also seen in shows like Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead in recent years, as an attempt to use "every tool we could to create the sensation of a season finale or series finale in the first volume itself".
