The spinoff show is a prequel to the smash hit series and focuses on an earlier period in Berlin’s life. Pedro Alonso, who played the character in Money Heist, is back for the new show.

During his glory days, Berlin and a gang assembled in Paris for one of his greatest plans ever: stealing 44 million euros’ worth of jewels in one night.

Two more Money Heist actors are returning for the spinoff while five new stars have joined the franchise. The show will drop at 3am ET on Friday (December 29) on Netflix.

Berlin is coming!

The prequel to Money Heist (La casa de papel) follows the extraordinary heists carried out by Pedro Alonso‘s Berlin character before the events of the original series.

On Wednesday (September 28), Netflix revealed the new cast of the Spanish series, as well as character details.

Money Heist creators Esther Martínez Lobato and Álex Pina said the concept of the spinoff series was to take Berlin’s character, “the most sparkling personality” of the original Money Heist, and place it in another universe, via THR.

“We loved the idea of introducing a new gang around Berlin in a completely different emotional state,” they said at a Netflix event.
