He told Deadline: “We’ve spent almost a year thinking about how to break up the band.

“How to put the Professor on the ropes. How to get into situations that are irreversible for many characters.

“The result is the fifth part of La Casa de Papel. The war reaches its most extreme and savage levels,”

Pina concluded: “But it is also the most epic and exciting season.”

Season five will consist of 10 final episodes to wrap up the series as well as a few newcomers being thrown into the action.

Miguel Ángel Silvestre and Patrick Criado will be joining the fray, although their character details remain under wraps for now.

Sharing a selfie from the set, Morte posted to Instagram: “I’m back. The Professor is back. @netflixes @netflix @vancouvermedia_.”
