'La Casa De Papel (Money Heist)' Ends On A High Note, Bowing At The Right Time [Parrot Analytics]

Published: Thu 9 Dec 2021 08:09 PM
Netflix’s global sensation La Casa De Papel (aka Money Heist) is going out with a bang.
The Spanish heist thriller has been the most in-demand TV show in the world from December 1-5, and has been 110.4x more in-demand than the average show worldwide during the first weekend of availability of its final five episodes (December 3-5).
Global audience anticipation for the series finale allowed it to hit #1 worldwide a full two days before the December 3 release of the final episodes.
However, global demand following both of its season five release dates (the first five episodes were launched September 3) was lower than its post-season four peak in April 2020, suggesting Netflix is ending the show at the right time, before audiences grow tired of it.
That said, the peak global demand for La Casa De Papel following its season four release was the highest of any non-English language show that Parrot Analytics has ever tracked (yes, including Squid Game).
This is a remarkable feat for a series that started out with a relatively small audience on a linear network in Spain, and was picked up by Netflix, showcasing the ability of Netflix to create a global pop cultural phenomenon out of a previously small piece of IP.
