1. It will be released in two volumes

Money Heist Part Five will be released in two instalments of five episodes each. The first volume will be released on September 3 while volume two will be dropping on December 3.

On the decision to split Part Five into two volumes, show creator Álex Pina said, "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 and used every tool we could to create the sensation of a season finale or series finale in the first volume itself".

"We decided to work in an extremely aggressive genre, putting the gang on the ropes. In volume two, 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 adds.

To coincide with the announcement of Part Five's two-volume release date, Netflix also released a minute-long slow-motion teaser for fans. We see a boot stepping on the iconic Salvador Dali mask from the series, followed by a voice-over by lead character Tokyo and a montage scene of the gang.

She says, "The most important moments are those when we understand there's no return. There's no way back." The last scene is of the gang wearing their signature red jumpsuits, bulletproof vest and guns all huddled together, looking like it it's their final moments together.

4. The plot

As with previous parts, we can expect Part Five to start right where Part Four ended: the gang trapped in the Bank of Spain for over 100 hours. While they've managed to rescue Lisbon, they're still dealing with the loss of their own (spoiler: Nairobi). The Professor has been captured by Sierra and for the first time, doesn't have an escape plan.

Just when it seems like nothing else could go wrong, an enemy comes on the scene that's much more powerful than any they've faced: the army. The end of the heist is approaching and what started as a robbery is now turning into an all-out war.

6. The new trailer

Netflix has dropped Money Heist's first official trailer together with a key art featuring all the characters wielding guns and ready in action as they make their last stand. The official announcement comes with the tagline, "Always fight. Never surrender".

The two-minute trailer comes with a voiceover from Tokyo, "Locked up for a hundred hours, trapped, about to be killed, and having lost a best friend, it feels like a hundred years have gone by" as we're shown montages of Tokyo being locked, Helsinki carrying Naibori. We then cut to Professor being caught and saying to the team that "it's possible this is the last time I'll speak to all of you".

The authorities decided to bring the military in. Knowing that they're trapped, the team refuses to back down without a fight and armed themselves—after all, they are The Resistance.
