The ‘Berlin’ spin-off series, centered on popular character Berlin from ‘Money Heist’, will premiere on Netflix on December 29.
The streaming service confirmed the date on social media, while also releasing a teaser for the show, in which actor Pedro Alonso will reprise his role as Andres de Fonollosa aka Berlin.
“Where others see risk, he sees excitement and adrenaline. From the world of ‘Money Heist’, ‘BERLIN’ premieres December 29,” Netflix posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, a PTI report stated.
‘Berlin’ follows one of the titular character’s most extraordinary heists.
“There are only two things that can turn a bad day into a great one: love and a million-dollar payday. They are what keeps Berlin going in his golden years, when he has no idea about his illness and hasn’t become trapped like a rat in the Spanish Mint.
“This is where he starts preparing one of his most extraordinary heists: making jewels worth 44 million disappear like some sort of magic trick. To do it, he’ll enlist the help of one of the three gangs he’s ever stolen with,” the official plotline read.
‘Berlin’ will also feature Michelle Jenner, Tristan Ulloa, Begona Vargas, Julio Pena Fernandez and Joel Sanchez.
Itziar Ituno and Najwa Nimri, the original stars of ‘Money Heist’, also star in the series, reprising their roles of policewomen Raquel Murillo and Alicia Sierra, respectively.
‘Berlin’ comes from showrunner Alex Pina, who is also creator of the parent show, with Esther Martinez Lobato as a writer. The series is directed by Albert Pinto, David Barrocal and Geoffrey Cowper.
