5 things you have to Know About La Casa de Papel Season 3
1-If you haven't made plans to watch La Casa de Papel (otherwise known as Money Heist) on Netflix, it's time to add it to your list.
Why? Well, the Spanish show comes with plenty of twists and turns that leave viewers on the edge of their seats every episode.
According to Forbes, the show became the most popular foreign language TV series on the streaming platform in 2018. And though it is entirely in Spanish, subtitles make it super easy to keep up with all of the action. Ahead of the season three premiere in July, we highly recommend brushing up on what went down during seasons one and two.

If you'll recall, Spanish actor Álvaro Morte stars in the thriller as The Professor, a mysterious criminal mastermind that plans an epic heist of The Royal Mint in Spain (where all of the country's money is made) over the course of six months. By promising them money, he recruits a group of eight thieves who lock themselves inside the mint with 67 hostages for 11 days. The goal? To print 2.4 billion euros, marking the biggest robbery in history.
The thieves, of course, have become central to the show, and each of them have the following codenames: Tokyo (Úrsula Corberó), Moscow (Paco Tous), Denver (Jaime Lorente Lopez), Berlin (Pedro Alonso), Nairobi (Alba Flores), Rio (Miguel Herrán), Helsinki (Darko Peric), and Oslo (Roberto Garcia Ruiz). Some of the thieves die. And in addition, fans have fallen under the spell of two other main characters—Raquel (Itziar Ituño), the head hostage negotiator assigned to figuring out who the thieves are, and Monica (Esther Acebo), one of the hostages who—spoiler alert—ends up leaving with the thieves for reasons we will get into a little later.
Yes, the plotline gets even trickier, but trust us, it's well worth watching with a bag of popcorn. Ahead of the return of season three, here's everything we know so far.

2- What is the release date for La Casa de Papel Season 3 ?
Netflix confirmed season three premieres on July 19. In the above teaser, fans get to see a snippet of what life's been like for the surviving thieves—Tokyo, Rio, Nairobi, Helsinki, Denver, The Professor—plus Raquel and Monica.
The tagline for season three is "their vacations are over," which could mean the Spanish government is coming after them for the heist since the identities of Tokyo, Rio, and The Professor have been revealed.

4- What will La Casa de Papel season 3 be about?
In an interview with Movie Maniacs, Morte and Corberó admitted they don't know much about the new season. "Álex Pina is such an imaginative, brilliant mastermind that it's always surprising," Morte said. "I have the sensation that there will be a lot of action," Corberó said. "I don't know and they didn't tell me but I want action."
That said, we have an idea of where the new plot could take us based on where seasons one and two left off.
Here's a refresher: the thieves put the 67 hostages to use (again, over the course of 11 days) to print money, bag it, and help move it to their secret escape route—a tunnel inside one of the vaults. In season two, they narrowly avoided capture by the police and successfully printed 1 million euros. Monica memorably fell for Denver and together they ran away to raise a child.
