Netflix breathed new life into the Spanish crime drama
Money Heist originally started off as La Casa de Papel on a Spanish channel called Antena 3 in 2017. The show didn't get many eyeballs there but was later acquired by Netflix. Thanks to its worldwide reach and dubbing in multiple languages, Money Heist became one of the most-watched non-English shows on the streaming platform and one of the most-watched shows overall as well.
