Statement
'We had to change what was expected,' showrunner issues statement
Money Heist series creator Álex Pina revealed what fans could expect from the upcoming season. "When we began to write Part 5 in the mid of the pandemic, we felt that we had to change what was expected from the ten-episode season and used every tool we could to create the sensation of a season finale or series finale in the first volume itself."
Quote
"It's a journey across their sentimental map"
"We decided to work in an extremely aggressive genre, putting The Gang on the ropes. In volume 2, we focus more on the emotional situation of the characters. It is a journey across their sentimental map that connects us directly to their departure," he concluded.
