Bowing April 2020, “Money Heist: Part 4” (“La Casa de Papel”) was watched by 65 million Netflix households in its first four weeks, making the streamer’s top-10 list in 62 countries for a month. Part 5 — the last — started production in August, and no other non-English-language series is so anticipated, except perhaps Netflix’s “Sky Rojo,” again from Pina and regular co-creator Esther Martínez-Lobato. The wrap — a woman-hunt thriller mixing hedonism and aesthetics while doubling down on the reality of prostitution — will embrace the full-on action, narrative experiment and framing of social issues of its predecessors. It’s safe to say the series will go out with a bang, as the future of Spanish-language shows as a growing SVOD alternative to U.S. content hinges on Pina delivering more home runs.
