8 Shows To Marathon If You're Already Missing 'Cable Girls'

Netflix's Spanish period drama Cable Girls — or Las Chicas del Cable — returns for its fourth season on Friday, Aug. 9. And fortunately for those who've loved watching Lidia, Ángeles, Carlota, Marga, and Sara navigate the sexual politics of 1920s Madrid, it seems pretty likely that Cable Girls will return for Season 5. In fact, it may already be happening.

It's been reported by Spanish outlets like La Razon that there will be a Season 5, and the show's IMDb page has Season 5 listed. However, it's unclear whether Netflix has officially renewed the show. Back in January, La Vanguardia reported that due to scheduling conflicts, Maggie Civantos (who plays Ángeles Vidal) would likely not be in Season 5 should it go forward. However, in July, a fan posted an Instagram Story screenshot on the show's subreddit, which claimed that filming had started.

Whether Season 5 goes forward or not, at least there's still Season 4 to make your way through. As the trailer reveals, it's now 1931 in Madrid, and women are making headway in achieving gender equality. It's been a year since the explosive Season 3 ending, and Remezcla confirmed that Spain is now a Republic and not a monarchy. So what does this mean for the show's protagonists? It seems like Carlota is running for mayor of Madrid, while Lidia is having to contend with some difficult men.

Whatever else Cable Girls Season 4 has in store, here are some shows to keep you occupied after the end credits roll.

'La Casa de Papel'

Season 3 of this Spanish heist series was just released in July, so viewers will have plenty to watch. La Casa De Papel (or Money Heist) features a group of creepy mask-wearing crooks who first plan and then execute various — you guessed it — heists.
