Sagasta’s character will be a cruel one. He will take Gandia’s ruthless nature to another level with his role in Money Heist 5. In earlier conversation with the makers of the show, reports stated that they felt José Manuel Seda was born a leader.

The actor will be at the forefront of the government’s attempt to crumble the gang led by The Professor, played by Álvaro Morte. He will be the Commander of the Special Forces of the Spanish army. His actions will eventually lead to a war inside the bank in which the team is attempting to pull off a heist. The teaser of the upcoming season revealed enough about the plot to make fans wait for it with bated breath.

The team behind the show has released a slip of Sagasta going up against The Professor’s gang. Fans wonder how strong the threat will be to The Professor and the heist. José Manuel Seda has been taking to his Instagram account for the last few days to post some behind the scenes pictures of his new avatar. One of his pictures had quite a cryptic caption that left fans wondering how many twists and turns the upcoming season will have. The actor wrote in his caption, ‘Let’s see if it turns out that Gandía and Sagasta have a past.’

Another recent development fans are excited about is Patrick Criado appearing in the season. He will take on the role of Rafael, who is Berlin’s son. Rene will also make an appearance in the show as part of Tokyo's flashbacks.
