Get ready to don your red jumpsuits and Salvador Dalí masks, because the highly anticipated spin-off series to the internationally acclaimed show, La Casa de Papel, is just around the corner! So mark your calendars and prepare for the adrenaline rush, because December 2023 can’t come soon enough! Vamos!

Money Heist (La Casa De Papel), Netflix’s sensational Spanish thriller, may have drawn to a close, but fear not, fans of the franchise! There’s still plenty to look forward to in the Money Heist universe. In addition to a captivating South Korean remake of the original series, we’ve got an all-new spin-off in the works, featuring the beloved character Berlin. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the exciting details of this forthcoming spin-off, set to grace our screens in December 2023.

As anticipation mounted leading up to Money Heist’s gripping final season, which arrived on Netflix in two thrilling installments in 2021, whispers of a spin-off began to circulate. Alex Pina, the brilliant mind behind Money Heist, tantalized fans by alluding to the possibility of delving deeper into the lives of characters we’ve come to adore from the flagship series.

Even before the official unveiling of Berlin, the popular character from Money Heist, Alex Pina, the show’s creator, shared with a magazine that he is open to the idea of a spin-off. He says,

“We do have many possibilities for some spinoffs, yes, and I think that’s thanks to the strong and powerful identities of the characters. We’ve always looked for characters to have a very complex, layered design. So I think almost every character of Money Heist has a duality that we would like to see in a spinoff. We could watch any of them in other contexts.”

Netflix made an official announcement in late November 2021, revealing the upcoming season just days before the exhilarating release of Money Heist Season 5, Part 2.

In addition to the thrilling announcement of the new season, we were treated to a tantalizing sneak peek of the upcoming spinoff, accompanied by a caption translated to English:

“We already met Berlin in #LaCasaDePapeland now is the time for Andrés de Fonollosa. We can already announce that in 2023 the spinoff of his life will arrive.”

When will Berlin release on Netflix?

Netflix’s latest announcement has us eagerly marking our calendars for December 2023, as that’s when Berlin is slated to arrive on the streaming platform. Furthermore, we’re thrilled to share an exclusive scoop: Netflix is targeting December 29th, 2023, as the launch date for Berlin’s exhilarating first season.

To whet your appetite even more, first-look images of the show have also been unveiled, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the world of Berlin.

Who’s behind and who will star in Berlin on Netflix?

In a delightful turn of events, Alex Pina will be reprising his role as the creative genius behind the upcoming Berlin series. He’ll be weaving his magic through his production company, Vancouver Media, with Atresmedia also joining the roster of production collaborators.
A testament to his flourishing partnership with Netflix, Pina initially signed a deal with the streaming giant in July 2018 and successfully renewed the agreement in March 2022. With this dynamic duo continuing to work together, we can’t wait to see what captivating stories they’ll bring to our screens!

What will Berlin be about?

Well, as you may have guessed from the title, the spotlight will shine on the enigmatic character Berlin, also known as Andrés de Fonollosa.

Despite delving into his backstory in season 5, there’s still so much to uncover about Berlin. For instance, he has a fascinating history with love, having been married five times, including to Tatiana (portrayed by Diana Gómez). Throughout the series, he’s recounted his relationships as the “five times that he believed in love.”

Considering Berlin’s sibling connection with The Professor, it’s likely that the spin-off will explore their formative years and unique bond. We’re also eager to learn more about the circumstances surrounding their father’s passing, as well as Berlin’s encounters with Palermo (another of his lovers), Marsella, and Bogotá.

Fans can also look forward to potentially witnessing Berlin’s audacious heist on Champs-Élysées, Paris, where he nabbed an astonishing 434 diamonds. Moreover, the series may delve deeper into his battle with Helmer Myopathy, adding another layer to this multifaceted character.

At Netflix’s star-studded 2022 Tudum event, we were treated to a riveting conversation between Pedro Alonso and Alex Pina, who offered intriguing insights into the highly anticipated spin-off.

When asked about the essence of the new series, Pina playfully replied, “Love and heists.” He elaborated, “This is going to be a journey through the golden years of the character, as he travels across Europe, stealing hearts and treasures with equal passion.”

Attendees also got a sneak peek at the first script (affectionately referred to as the 33rd version). Its captivating episode title, “Historias de Paris,” translates to “Paris Stories,” hinting at the thrilling escapades to come. The talented writing team behind the script includes David Oliva, David Barrocal, Esther Martinez Lobato, and, of course, the mastermind himself, Alex Pina.

Who will star in Netflix’s Berlin series?

The talented 49-year-old actor Pedro Alonso, known for his iconic portrayal of Berlin, has officially been confirmed to reprise his role in the highly anticipated prequel series. Netflix delighted fans by releasing an exciting video that introduced us to the beloved characters of Berlin in a captivating and immersive manner.

As a highly anticipated prequel, there is still a thrilling possibility that we may see some of the beloved characters reprising their roles, adding an extra layer of excitement and anticipation for fans.

When will Berlin be in production?

As reported on Berlin’s official IMDb Pro page, cameras started rolling on September 24th, 2022. We’re eagerly awaiting confirmation that filming has wrapped up. In the meantime, we recommend diving into Alex Pina’s other exhilarating Netflix offerings, such as Sky Rojo. Additionally, Pina is set to create a topical pandemic-era series inspired by a Spanish newspaper article highlighting the surge in bunker purchases.

While we count down the days until Berlin’s premiere, you can catch Pedro Alonso in his upcoming film, Awareness, set to debut on Amazon Prime Video. Also, for those interested, most Netflix regions are currently streaming his 2019 thriller, The Silence of the Marsh.
