The Return of Pedro Alonso as Berlin
Pedro Alonso is back, reprising his role as the charismatic and enigmatic Berlin.

However, in this spin-off, Alonso transforms into a different version of Berlin – an enthusiastic, carefree thief who’s ready for the heist of a lifetime.
Release Date and Binge-Worthy Format
Mark your calendars for December 29, 2023 – that’s when Money Heist: Berlin drops on Netflix. The creators have decided to treat us to the entire series at once, adopting the binge-worthy box set format. So, get ready to cancel your weekend plans and immerse yourself in the world of heists, suspense, and unexpected alliances.
A New Crew and Familiar Faces
Money Heist: Berlin introduces a fresh ensemble of characters, bringing a breath of fresh air to the franchise. Joining Alonso on this thrilling journey are Begoña Vargas as Cameron, Michelle Jenner as tech whizz Keila, Julio Peña as lockpicker Roi, Joel Sánchez as the hired muscle Bruce, and Tristán Ulloa as Berlin’s co-conspirator Damián.
But that’s not all – fans can also expect guest appearances from Itziar Ituño and Najwa Nimri, reprising their roles as detectives Raquel Murillo and Alicia Sierra. The twist? Their characters appear long before they cross paths with the Professor, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the storyline.
The Plot Unraveled
This spin-off takes us back in time, exploring Berlin’s past before the events of “Money Heist.” Set in Paris, years before he discovers his terminal illness, Berlin concocts an ambitious scheme to steal priceless jewelry from a top-tier auction house. Prepare to witness the charismatic thief in his prime, chasing after the things that make life worth living.
For those worried about the continuity given Berlin’s fate in the original series, fear not. Money Heist: Berlin wisely avoids any suspension of disbelief by setting the narrative in a time when Berlin was unaware of his impending doom. The series promises to unravel untold stories, exploring Berlin’s relationships, including his estranged son Rafael and ill-fated marriage to Tatiana.
And, of course, expect Berlin’s peculiar view of romance to play a significant role in the unfolding drama. If you thought his character was complex in “Money Heist,” get ready for a deeper dive into the psyche of this mastermind.
