Description:
The super-stylish Money Heist has a new spin-off, and it looks like it's

FULL STORY
======================================================================

One of my favourite bits of Netflix's Tudum 2023 showcase was the trailer for 
Berlin, the second spin-off from the superbly stylish and enjoyably silly 
crime thriller Money Heist . But the title's a little misleading, because 
Berlin isn't where the heist is going to happen: Berlin's the person who's 
going to make it happen. 

Berlin, played by the wonderful Andrs de Fonollosa, was a key character way 
back in season one of the original Money Heist and became one of the most 
popular characters for viewers. 

An anti-hero rather than a hero, the terminally ill robber, jewel thief and 
safe cracker is Europe's greatest thief and in the show that takes his name, 
he's about to embark on the most audacious heist yet. What is Berlin about 
and when can I watch it? 

There's a slight problem (and a huge spoiler if you aren't up to speed with 
Money Heist yet) about making a film around Berlin: he's dead. Not to be 
deterred, Netflix is going back in time to show Berlin before the iconic job 
in Money Heist, a move that takes away a little bit of the tension we know at 
least one character is going to make it to the end but that enables cast, 
writers and crew to have some fun with a character who proved to be much 
popular than the writers of Money Heist had anticipated. 

The heist this time around is to steal 44 million from one of the top auction 
houses in Paris, and of course that means assembling a squad of highly 
skilled and highly dangerous individuals. That squad includes Michelle 
Jenner, Begoa Vargas and Tristn Ulloa alongside Yuri D. Brown, Marcel 
Gonzalez, Miko Jarry, Julien Paschai, Joel Snchez, and Julio Pea. 

There will be eight episodes of Berlin, and you'll be able to watch them in 
December. And after that? Expect more spin-offs based on other characters 
from the show. As show creator lex Pina told Oprah Daily, "We do have many 
possibilities for some spinoffs... weve always looked for characters to have 
a very complex, layered design. So I think almost every character of Money 
Heist has a duality that we would like to see in a spinoff. We could watch 
any of them in other contexts."
