He said his team did not work on seasons six and seven despite the fifth season being the highest-rated at the show being peak.
“We stopped shooting ‘Money Heist‘ in its fifth season when the series was at its peak,” he was quoted saying by Netflix’s news platform Whats On Netflix. “We decided not to do another part at that time, or a new heist, and we really made that decision because the series was at its peak.
“The fifth season got the highest rating of them all, so it’d have been easy to shoot seasons six and seven, but we chose not to do them at that point, to stop the franchise and instead come back with a spin-off.”
He said they could carry the franchise forward by seeing the response ‘Berlin‘ spinoff gets.
