Here are some amazing facts you need to know about this great show.

1. There were a few translation challenges regarding the title ‘La casa de Papel’ which is literally translated as ‘The House of Paper’, a Spanish pun which roughly translates to ‘Money House’, but the creators chose ‘Money Heist’ which resonates better with the storyline.

2. The famous mask used in the show is a caricature of the face of well-known Spanish artist Salvador Dali, which depicts a symbol of revolution and anti-capitalist sentiment. 

3. The show, which is filmed in Madrid, has a fictionalised interior set of the Bank of Spain because the production could not obtain permission to replicate the original.

4. The well-written script’s secret is that the writers never pre-planned their storyline but penned it down as and when needed, keeping in mind the excitement, reaction and perceptions of the audience.
