Volume 1 of the finale will release on September 3, and Volume 2 drops on December 3 this year.

So far, there have been four parts to the show. While Parts 1 and 2 released in 2017, Parts 3 and 4 dropped in 2019-2020.
"When we began to write Part 5 in the midst of the pandemic, we felt we had to change what was expected from the 10-episode season and used every tool we could, to create the sensation of a season finale or series finale in the first volume itself. We decided to work in an extremely aggressive genre, putting The Gang on the ropes," said creator of the series, Alex Pina.
"In Volume 2, we focus more on the emotional situation of the characters. It is a journey across their sentimental map that connects us directly to their departure," he added.
