Netflix is breaking up Money Heist‘s fifth and final season into two parts: Volume 1, consisting of five episodes, will premiere Friday, Sept. 3, the streamer announced on Monday. The second volume, featuring the last five installments, will then follow on Friday, Dec. 3.

“When we began to write Part 5 in the midst of the pandemic, we felt that we had to change what was expected from the 10-episode season and used every tool we could to create the sensation of a season finale or series finale in the first volume itself,” creator Álex Pina said in a statement. “We decided to work in an extremely aggressive genre, putting The Gang on the ropes. In Volume 2, we focus more on the emotional situation of the characters. It is a journey across their sentimental map that connects us directly to their departure.”
