Oh bella ciao, La Casa de Papel is now extended with a fourth season
Look, that's what it's like to go into the weekend. Even before the third season premieres (which starts on July 19), the creators of La Casa de Papel have announced that there will be a fourth season. That's really great news, I must say. Of course, not entirely surprising, as the Netflix series is a massive hit worldwide. If we are to believe Netflix's data, it is currently the most popular non-English language series. We get it.
Creator Álex Pina is the one who could bring us this news last night, during an event in Spain. Did you think this was the only good news? Think again. I believe we've had to wait quite a long time for season 3 (too long, of course). There's a good chance that season 4 won't take as long, as the filming for season 3 is still ongoing and they've decided to just extend that. So no breaks, nothing of the sort, just straight into filming for season number four. Now that's really stepping on the gas. I love it.
The first two seasons revolved, as we all know, around stealing the royal mint of Spain, masterminded by El Profesor. We'll all see him again, with Rio behind bars. They are of course not going to let that happen and with the help of no less than five new gang members, they are going to make him a free bird again. Oh yes, and in the meantime, also rob a bank in Madrid. Important detail, though.
What you might already understand is that Álex Pina has not revealed anything at all about season 4 in terms of spoilers or plots. Well, that would kind of take away the suspense from the third season, so that's quite understandable. The only thing I hope he will come up with soon is the release date. In the meantime, get to know Lisboa, Estocolmo, Palermo, Marseille and Bogotá.
I don't know what you all are doing, but I'm going to toast to this sunshine with a Friday afternoon drink. Now's the time, because starting July 19, I'll be locking myself back in my cave to binge this entire season. No shame. Bella ciao, ciao, ciao.
