MANILA – Netflix has announced that it will soon release the Korean adaptation of “Money Heist”, or “La Casa de Papel” as it is mentioned in Spanish.

In a statement released Tuesday, Alex Pina, the creator and executive producer of the beloved Spanish original series, noted how Korean creators have been developing their own audiovisual language and culture for years.

“They have managed, like our series, to cross cultural boundaries and become a point of reference for thousands of viewers around the world, especially among young people,” he said.

This is precisely the reason why he finds it fascinating “that the world of ‘La Casa de Papel’ is so attractive to Korean creators as to make an adaptation.”

“The fact that the action is taking place on the Korean peninsula also strikes me as a milestone that I am really delighted about,” he said.

Netflix said the Korean adaptation of “Money Heist” will be directed by Kim Hong-sun, who has directed TV dramas such as “The Guest,” “Voice” and “Black” and is known as a giant in the fantasy crime genre. .

The show’s script will be written by Ryu Yong-jae and his team, whose credits include the Netflix original series “My Holo Love” and the tvN series “Psychopath Diary.”

Netflix said that the production of the upcoming Korean adaptation will be a collaboration between BH Entertainment and Contents Zium.

The giant streaming platform has yet to announce more information about the show, including its actual launch date.

It was only last April that Netflix released the fourth part of “Money Heist.” The fifth and last part of the Spanish series is currently in production.
