Characters usually die at the end of a story. Berlin, Andrés de Fonollosa from Money Heist (La Casa de Papel), is not one of them. Berlin, the spin-off series, will show the con man’s life before joining The Professor’s group. After five nail-biting seasons of dynamic characters, a gripping narrative, and mind-blowing cinematography, Netflix’s acclaimed series concluded in 2021, leaving fans devastated. We wanted more, especially of this beloved character. Thus, the franchise returns with a new series starring Berlin, revealing his past journey before Money Heist.

Berlin is set to premiere on Netflix on December 29th. The spinoff for La Casa de Papel follows one of the most extraordinary heists of the iconic character played by Pedro Alonso, who returns to the role of the hedonistic and clever Berlin.

In his new crew, he has Michelle Jenner (Isabel) as the electronic engineering genius Keila, Tristán Ulloa (Faria) as his confidant and fellow professor Damián, Begoa Vargas (Welcome to Eden) as the reckless risk-taker Cameron, Julio Pea Fernández (Through My Window) as the loyal squire Roi, and Joel Sánchez as the relentless man of action Bruce. Both Itziar Ituo and Najwa Nimri reprise their roles as policewomen Raquel Murillo and Alicia Sierra, respectively, from the film La Casa de Papel.

The eight episodes of the series, created by Álex Pina (La casa de papel, Sky Rojo) and Esther Martínez Lobato (La Casa de Papel), Sky Rojo), are written by Álex Pina, Esther Martínez Lobato, David Barrocal, David Oliva and Lorena G. Maldonado. Will be directed by Albert Pintó (Sky Rojo, Malasaña 32), David Barrocal (Sky Rojo) and Geoffrey Cowper (Day Release).
