12	''Money Heist'' (ES: ''La casa de papel'' [[note]]lit. "The House of Paper"[[/note]]) is a 2017 Spanish TV Series created by Álex Pina (also the creator of ''Series/LockedUp''). It was intially broadcasted by Antena 3 (also known for ''Series/AquiNoHayQuienViva'', ''Series/AlliAbajo'' and the aforementioned ''Locked Up'') before Creator/{{Netflix}} picked it up after its second season[[note]]Antena 3 originally aired the series under a single season, but said season was split into two for the Netflix release.[[/note]], airing for three more seasons (the last one of which is divided into two volumes) up until 2021.

14	This show deals with a heist... but not just any heist: the takeover of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Mint_(Spain) Spain's Royal Mint]] by a diverse group of criminals, with the goal of forcing the workers to print 2.4 billion euros[[note]]Roughly USD 2.7 billion.[[/note]] in untraceable banknotes over the course of 10 days.

16	In the planned robbery, the group is to follow three rules:
17	* [[ThouShaltNotKill No Killing]]: as part of what they want is to appear to be JustLikeRobinHood, they intend not to hurt anyone, because, if they kill even a single person, they will lose the battle of public opinion.
18	* [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname No Names]]: Everyone (save for The Professor) is nicknamed [[LocationThemeNaming after a city]]. This, supposedly, prevents attachments and avoids the potential problem of someone outing them.
19	* [[BeingPersonalIsntProfessional No Personal Relationships]]: this, technically, is supposed to prevent attachments and allow the group to go on their way without a problem once the robbery is done.

21	The day of the heist coincides with the visit of a group of students, among whom stands out Alison Parker, the daughter of the British Ambassador to Spain, and who is to play an (unwittingly) important role in the Professor's plan. The first phase of the plan goes swimmingly, but soon it becomes obvious that no plan survives contact with the enemy, and even the most obsessive CrazyPrepared plans can be screwed up by human nature.

23	A tie-in event in ''VideoGame/RainbowSixSiege'' ran November 21st-25th, 2019, which featured a special hostage mode and cosmetic items based on the series' iconic red jumpsuit and Creator/SalvadorDali mask. In 2020, a [[ForeignRemake South Korean remake]] was announced, which would also be produced by Netflix as ''Series/MoneyHeistKoreaJointEconomicArea''; the first part of its first season was streamed worldwide on June 24, 2022. In 2021, shortly after the series ended, Netflix also announced a prequel series titled ''Berlin'' focusing on the character with the same name, which was released on December 29, 2023 on the streaming service.
