Four years after arriving on Netflix, where it achieved worldwide success by remaining the most viewed non-English-language series on the platform for a long time at the debut of the various seasons, (a record beaten in 2021 by Lupine and The Squid game), the band of The most amazing, dysfunctional and anti TV system robbers is about to implement the latest feats. In fact, on December 3, the five episodes of Volume 2 of the fifth part of La Casa di Carta make their debut on Netflix, the final act of the story conceived by the
Spaniard Alex Pina.
"This volume 2 is much richer in emotions. We put all the pieces of the puzzle together, we add more emotional elements to the characters, sometimes we close the circle on the portrayal of some of them, giving the answers to help understand the whole universe of the From a narrative perspective, this was the most difficult chapter to write but also the most exciting, "explains the showrunner at a global conference streaming alongside many of the audience's favorite protagonists. Actors like Alvaro Morte, interpreter of the professor, brilliant mind and charismatic guide of the gang characterized by a red 'uniform' and a Dali mask on his face when in action and the fact that each member hides (or so should) their identity by adopting the name of a city.
A group of criminals (but not only, there are also 'acquired' members) with difficult pasts, complex characters and singular abilities, among which Berlin (Pedro Alonso), Tokyo (Ursula Corberó), Rio (Miguel Herrán), Denver ( Jaime Lorente), Stockholm (Esther Acebo), Helsinki (Darko Peric), Bogotà (Hovik Keuchkerian), Marseille (Luka Peros), Manila (Belen Cuesta), Nairobi (Alba Flores), Palermo (Rodrigo de la Serna). Without forgetting fundamental characters such as the former inspector Raquel Murillo, who became the professor's companion and a member of the band with the name of Lisbon (Itziar Ituno); Arturo (Enrique Arce), who made history as director of the Mint attacked by the group or the ruthless former inspector Alicia Sierra (Najwa Nimri).
The series had debuted in 2017 in Spain with the first season on Antena 3, but only after the new editing and distribution on Netflix (also producer of the other seasons) did it become a global phenomenon. "Volume one of Part 5 (released on September 3, ed) closes with a watershed moment like the death of Tokyo - recalls Esther Martínez Lobato, co-writer and executive co-producer -. It leads to the epilogue characters who have long lived with the public. These last chapters pay homage to all of them, for each there is room to show a little more of their feelings ". An aspect that Alvaro Morte particularly appreciated: "The professor sometimes seems to be a wonderful robot, I love when he also shows his humanity. He is not perfect,he is a human being who also makes mistakes. "The actor, like many of his set mates, was moved on the last day of shooting:" It was very nice, I found myself working with the same team that was with me on my first day on set - he says smiling -. It was really exciting, but I was calm. The first farewell to the series, more difficult, I had given it after the first two parts (in 2017, before the success on Netflix, ed), when the series seemed to be over. I lived this second life of his with much more calm and joy. "For him La Casa di Carta" ends at the right time, we have not dried up the characters. It's wonderful to stop now, leaving when we're at the peak is a gift we give to the fans.

On why the series has had such a response, "there is no single answer - comments Ursula Corberó -. I think it's a lot due to the bond between the various characters, together they form a sort of family, a brotherhood and sisterhood, and these are universal elements ".
However, there are also more unusual explanations, adds the Tokyo interpreter: "There are those who think the public relates to a structure and metaphors that would recall those of football: there are two teams, the reds and the blues, a sort of referee, we have a hymn ... ".
In any case, while the Spanish masked band retires,
another is being prepared in another continent: a Korean remake of the series with Alex Pina among the executive producers is already in the process of filming.
