Rabat – Television aficionados have just received more material to watch during the COVID-19 lockdown: Netflix released the fourth season of the captivating Spanish crime drama series “La casa de papel,” or “Money Heist” in English, today, April 3.

The popular series follows a group of robbers who attempt to steal billions from the Spanish government.

Since the airing of its first episodes on Spanish television in May 2017, “Money Heist” attracted an average of over 3.5 million viewers.
However, after Netflix acquired its streaming rights in late 2017, the show went from being a fan-favorite in Spanish-speaking countries to a worldwide sensation.

The third season of the show ended in a cliffhanger, leaving fans eager to know what will happen to the main protagonists, with some of them hanging between life and death.
The crime drama is known for its continuous action and unpredictable plot twists.
“Money Heist” has won several awards, both in Spain and internationally. The Best Drama Series award at the 2018 Emmys remains the most notable decoration for the Spanish cast and producers.
