How to watch Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) in order

Money Heist — known in Spanish as La Casa de Papel — is Netflix's record-breaking Spanish heist thriller about a mysterious criminal mastermind known only as the Professor and his crew of robbers, each named after a city, pulling off the most audacious heists in history. Here is the complete watch order for the original series and its spinoff.

La Casa de Papel began as a Spanish network series in 2017 before Netflix acquired it, re-edited it into shorter episodes, and turned it into a global phenomenon. The show follows two elaborate heists — first on the Royal Mint of Spain and then on the Bank of Spain — told through a tense, non-linear narrative full of flashbacks, betrayals, and unlikely heroes. A Korean spinoff, Money Heist: Korea, reimagines the premise in a divided peninsula context.

🕐 Release Order

The original series was released in two distinct parts on Spanish TV before Netflix restructured it into five parts. The Netflix part numbering is the most widely used reference today.

  1. Money Heist: Part 1 (2017) — the Royal Mint heist begins
  2. Money Heist: Part 2 (2017) — the Royal Mint heist concludes
  3. Money Heist: Part 3 (2019) — the Bank of Spain heist begins
  4. Money Heist: Part 4 (2020) — the Bank of Spain heist escalates
  5. Money Heist: Part 5, Volume 1 (2021) — the final act begins
  6. Money Heist: Part 5, Volume 2 (2021) — the series finale
  7. Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area (2022) — standalone spinoff

The Korean spinoff is an entirely separate reimagining of the premise and can be watched independently of the original Spanish series at any time.

📖 Story Chronology

Money Heist uses extensive flashbacks to reveal character backstories throughout the series, but the main heist narrative progresses in chronological order across all five parts. The best way to follow the story is in release order.

  1. Money Heist: Parts 1–2 — the Royal Mint of Spain heist (2017)
  2. Money Heist: Parts 3–5 — the Bank of Spain heist (2019–2021)
  3. Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area (2022) — parallel universe reimagining

Which Order Should You Choose?

Watch the original Spanish series from Part 1 through Part 5 before touching the Korean spinoff. The show's brilliance lies in how it slowly reveals each character's history through flashbacks woven into the heist, so every episode builds on the last. Parts 1 and 2 cover the first heist and function as a complete story in themselves; Parts 3 through 5 raise the stakes dramatically with the Bank of Spain. Once you have finished the original, the Korean adaptation offers a fresh take on the same premise with a completely different cultural context.
