La Casa de Papel finally met its end this past week, with the crew fleeing away with tons of Spanish gold. A journey of 5 long seasons concluded as we saw The Professor and his gang of robbers fly into the sunset. It is always a tough task to create a show that is this remarkable, but it is an even greater task to end such a show. So when it came to writing the ending for Money Heist, it was a behemoth task.

A show as successful and engrossing as Netflix‘s Money Heist will make the audience guess about its future storylines. You always have some of the most creative minds from the viewers predicting the destiny of your show and its characters. Hence, the creator of the show, Alex Pina, had to write and re-write the ending for the show 33 times! Yes! He actually wrote the ending 33 times in order to arrive at the perfect culmination of the story.
