Netflix's crime drama Money Heist is set to make its return with an expanded universe, sparking a mix of excitement and skepticism among fans. The streaming platform issued a teaser of the upcoming project with a statement that suggests multiple spin-offs could be in the works. While it is not yet known whether the new season or seasons will be character spin-offs or a sixth installment of Money Heist, fans seem to be less than enthusiastic.
Fan Reactions on Reddit
Taking to Reddit, many fans of the series questioned what the plot would be if there was a sixth season, with some questioning whether there is 'any reasonable scenario where they would do a new heist'. Writing on the platform, one user called IBuy3960 said: 'I hope it’s not season 6… I’ll be okay with another good spin-off, but please let ending of season 5 be, it was good and doesn’t need continuation…'
Tboy19 was also confused about what the plot would be after each character 'received immunity in the end', as YB Phoenix admitted that they 'know the show is milking it at this point'. Another user called Mr Enigma similarly added: 'Milking the series I see. Let’s hope they don’t introduce plot holes upon plot-holes.' Meanwhile, Cstar2077 asked: 'Why is Money Heist coming back if it already had a perfect ending?'
Responding beneath, keidash said: 'Unfortunately, that’s the case with most popular franchises. Most of them would have done well as a three season series. But they always make the mistake of trying to milk it as much as they can by either adding way too many seasons, mediocre spinoffs or even both.'
Enthusiasm Among Some Fans
However, despite the majority of fans expressing their negativity, many were enthusiastic about the Money Heist universe expanding. Gamera87 claimed that they were 'super hyped and excited' by the news as Swalker52 added: 'I was not expecting this but wanted to have another one. Looking forward!'
Netflix's Announcement
Announcing the potential spin-offs, Netflix said in a post: 'Some stories start with the perfect strike. And this one changed everything. From the first heist for cash to the most artful robbery of the century, including the assault that put tons of gold from the Bank of Spain on the line, the universe of ‘Money Heist’ has never stopped growing, evolving, and surprising us. But if there’s one thing that’s clear, it’s that the revolution NEVER ends. From now on, this is mission control for everything in the ‘Money Heist’ universe. If you want in on the next plan and don’t want to miss a single move from the gang, this is the place to be. The world of ‘Money Heist’ continues on Netflix.'
Money Heist is available to stream on Netflix.
