Money Heist (Spanish: La Casa de Papel, lit. 'The House of Paper') is a Spanish heist crime drama media franchise created by Álex Pina. It is centered around a television series which followed two long-prepared heists led by the Professor. The narrative of the series is told in a real-time-like fashion, relying on flashbacks, time-jumps, hidden character motivations, and an unreliable narrator (Tokyo) for complexity.
The franchise was launched with the two-part, 15-episode limited television series Money Heist (Spanish: La Casa de Papel, lit. 'The House of Paper'), which premiered on Spanish network Antena 3 on May 2, 2017. Despite little ratings success during its initial run (in spite of its positive reviews), the series went on to become an international hit when the first part was released outside Spain on Netflix in late 2017. As a result of the series' success, Netflix bought the rights from Antena 3's parent company, Atresmedia Televisión, and ordered 26 additional episodes that were released across three parts. The fifth and final part was released across two volumes on September 3 and December 3, 2021, respectively. Following the original series' conclusion, a South Korean remake, Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area (Korean: 종이의 집: 공동경제구역; Hanja: 종이의 집: 共同經濟區域; RR: Jongi-ui Jip: Gongdonggyeongjeguyeok, lit. 'House of Paper: Joint Economic Area'), was released across two parts on June 24 and December 9, 2022, respectively; and a spin-off series, Berlin, was released on 29 December 2023. Both the original series and its South Korean remake enjoyed consistently positive reviews over the years.
In addition to the television and streaming series, two making-of documentary films, Money Heist: The Phenomenon and Money Heist: From Tokyo to Berlin, were released between 2020 and 2021. A video game was also released in 2024.
