Bella Ciao! Just over eight months after Money Heist fans left The Professor asserting all-out war on the police, Season 4 of the Spanish drama will pick up right after the dramatic cliffhanger.
The Professor's entire plan was on the verge of collapse. Oh, wait! It's no longer a plan anymore! His brother Berlin has just spilled the beans with his partner Palermo. The Professor's thought of robbing the Bank of Spain of its massive gold reserve turned out to be a suicide project.
Why did The Professor pick high-risk missions?
The Professor has a secure link: a wife, a circle of relatives, and funds that might allow his own family to live well for generations. And still, why? It is the identical question we ask of Robert De Niro's Neil McCauley and his crew in Heat (1995). Why didn't they walk away with everything when they had the chance?
As Tom Sizemore's Michael Cheritto places it, "For me, the action is the juice." Here, the operative phrase is the juice, which doesn't talk over with the cash that the team makes by robbing the next bank.
There is also a side to the series' "anti-system" philosophy. While the show is meant to entertain, Álex Pina, the author of Money Heist, told The Guardian the perception of skepticism towards governments, banks, and the system had been formulated in a unique narrative.
Pina also thought of combining two concepts, explaining the "action genre used to be taken into consideration shallow and superficial, and social movies as boring."
Chaos is juice
After pulling off the biggest heist in human history, The Professor could keep away from doing what he's good at, according to The Newsweek.
Pina is aware of that it isn't always the ingeniously planned heist that continues interest viewers. It's the unpredictability of each characters' drama.
The Professor is going to take extraordinary measures to ensure that nobody gets hurt or killed when breaking in banks because it would harm the popularity of the heist to the public. For the people, the robbery is a bold move against massive corporations and influential individuals who rob taxpayers of their money.
Will the Dalis' act of battle hurt the public's opinion of them? Will Lisbon destroy and surrender the plan in return for the protection of her daughter and mother? Will Toyko stick to the plan? More importantly, will The Professor regain control of the heist?

Stakes are really high
The show's producers have also made season four a lot funnier. At times, the Dalis behave like cheeky Marvel characters undercutting the seriousness of the drama with a gag or trash talk. Even though it isn't new to the audience, Álex Pina has elevated its dosage in the state-of-the-art season significantly.
All episodes of Money Heist Season 4 will start streaming from April 3 on Netflix.
