The new season of La Casa de Papel, or Money Heist, recently dropped on Netflix but before that, 100 unsuspecting fans took part in a No-Spoiler Heist. Fans were invited to an exclusive screening of the new series and they were told they'd be flown to Madrid the morning of the official release. To keep spoilers from getting out, Netflix crafted an experience that turned fans into hostages, and it was revealed that the Professor needed to keep Italy's "worst spoiler makers" from contacting people outside and ruining the show.
Over the duration of the five episodes, the 100 passengers were kept on the plane, giving enough time for fans on the ground to enjoy the series without being spoiled. The experience gave fans an unforgettable first-hand experience of the series' action and excitement.
