The Ultimate Money Heist Spinoff: Unraveled Plot, Stellar Cast, and Exclusive Details

Details about the cast and potential release of Money Heist's Berlín spinoff have finally been revealed, years after Netflix announced its development. Money Heist, originally produced by Antena 3 and later acquired by Netflix, is a Spanish crime drama that follows a group of criminals attempting to rob the Royal Mint of Spain. While The Professor serves as the mastermind behind the heist, he entrusts his half-brother, Andrés de Fonollosa (known as 'Berlín'), with leading the robbery. Unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances lead to the plan's failure and the loss of several key characters, including Berlín.

Although Berlín's demise at the end of Money Heist's second part came as a shock (after being shot by the police), Pedro Alonso, the actor portraying Berlín, continues to be a part of the show through flashbacks. These flashbacks not only help advance the story but also serve as a means to lay the foundation for his spinoff. By providing insights into Berlín's life before his involvement in the Royal Mint heist, viewers gain a better understanding of his character. With the introduction of Money Heist's Berlín spinoff, audiences will finally witness the transformation of Andrés de Fonollosa into the notorious jewel thief he is known for.

Berlín from Money Heist is scheduled to make a comeback in December 2023, marking two years since the conclusion of Money Heist's final season (season 5). The spinoff series has already been confirmed and Netflix announced its development through Money Heist's official Twitter account, just before the release of the final episodes on December 3rd, 2021.

Created by Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato, the Money Heist spinoff, Berlín, will consist of eight episodes. The series will be written by Pina, Lobato, David Olivia, Albert Pintó, and David Berrocal. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Berrocal and Geoffrey Cowper have been announced as the directors of several episodes. Filming for the spinoff is set to begin in Paris on October 3rd, 2021.

Money Heist's Berlín Cast

Pedro Alonso will be reprising his role as the notorious jewel thief, Berlín, in the Money Heist spinoff. Netflix recently released a 'character introduction' trailer featuring the cast, which includes Michelle Jenner as computer expert Keila, Begoña Vargas as the powerful Cameron, and Tristán Ulloa as philanthropic professor Damián, who is also Berlín's close friend. Joining them are Julio Peña from Through My Window, who will play Berlín's protégé Roi, and Joel Sánchez, who will be taking on his first major acting role as the adventurous Bruce.

Also part of the cast of Money Heist's Berlín are Julien Paschal, Yuri D. Brown, Marcel Gonzalez, Miko Jarry, and Rachel Lascar. While it is known that the first four actors will be portraying characters named Polignac, Bertrand, Jean, and Olivier respectively, Lascar's role has not been disclosed. There is a possibility that some of the beloved characters from Money Heist, such as The Professor, might make an appearance in the show, considering the close relationship between the brothers. However, Lobato hinted during the Berlín press presentation that if any of them returned, their roles would not be major, as the focus is on giving the spinoff its own unique identity.

Money Heist's Berlín Story Details

While Money Heist showcased various complex character arcs, the exploration of Berlín's story remained limited as the anti-hero's demise occurred early on in the series. Nevertheless, The Professor's flashbacks and background revelations offer the Berlín writers numerous avenues to delve into the plot of Money Heist's enigmatic character. According to the information disclosed by Netflix, the forthcoming Money Heist spinoff will delve into one of Berlín's twenty-seven triumphant heists.

The official synopsis suggests that Berlín's next heist will involve stealing a fortune in jewels worth $44 million. It is possible that this heist will be one of his biggest, as it involved him stealing 434 diamonds in Champs-Élysées, Paris. The first look teaser released on February 7th, 2023 also hints at this direction, as it shows Berlín planning to rob a French auction in the romantic city. Additionally, as some parts of the show were filmed in Spain, there may be a deeper exploration of Berlín's upbringing.

During the Berlín press presentation, it was confirmed that the Money Heist spinoff will feature him planning a robbery that will result in his crew walking away with more than €10 million. Netflix has provided a glimpse into the center of this heist with a Money Heist Berlin first look, revealing a French auction house. Alonso, who plays Berlín, also mentioned at the presentation that the events of the spinoff will take place after the jewel thief's third wife left him. The first look further suggests that Berlín may be searching for love again, as he becomes involved with the wife of their target, putting everything at risk.
