‘Money Heist’ S4 Might Hit Netflix Much Sooner Than We Expected

Money Heist, or La Casa de Papel, in its native Spanish, is one of Netflix’s most popular TV series, with the third season having premiered just a few months ago. If you’re all caught up with this highly complex series, then you’re probably anxiously for season 4 to drop!(I’m over the moon). The good news is that it will happen a lot sooner than we expected, according to a star of the show.

Rodrigo de la Serna, the Argentinian actor who plays Palermo in season 3, a key addition to the team, told Argentinian site Cadena 3 that the fourth season is already finished and will stream on Netflix in January.

Italian blog SmartWorld actually offers a launch date for season 4: January 18th, 2020. That’s exactly six months after season 3 premiered!

SmartWorld speculates that Netflix is about to deliver a “grand finale” for the series, hence the early launch date, or it’s simply trying to compete more effectively with the two new streaming services that launch this fall: Disney+ and Apple TV+. It’s unclear at this point whether Money Heist will get a fifth season.

Netflix Italia apparently provided additional comments about the series’ popularity, saying that Money Heist is the most-watched non-English TV series, with more than 34 million accounts having seen at least one episode from season 3 in the first seven days of availability. Of those, 70% have finished the season in just a week.
