Netflix has had several successful original series, but few have been as acclaimed as Money Heist. The Spanish production has managed to transcend borders and become popular worldwide, remaining relevant for multiple seasons and even having spin-offs. Berlin is one of these, which recently joined the catalog.
Starring Pedro Alonso as Berlin, the first season consists of a total of eight episodes. Packed with suspense, glamour, breathtaking landscapes and big heists, the story has become one of the most intriguing to binge-watch in the past week. According to Flix Patrol, the title is also one of the most-watched, making it into the Top 10.
For those who may not recall the plot of the original show well, Berlin was one of the fan-favorite characters. He is the brother of The Professor (played by Álvaro Morte), who used to organize the crimes committed by the main group, consisting of Tokyo, Rio, Helsinki, Denver, Nairobi, Moscow and Berlin himself.
Will Berlin have a second season?
So far, Netflix has not confirmed whether there will be a second season of Money Heist: Berlin. This is because it is still too early to know, as they need to first assess how well the prequel performed, both in terms of viewership and fandom. However, the first installment left enough room for the entire cast to return.
This means that Berlin could be back to plan another high-stakes heist. With new episodes, the complicated relationships of the main characters in the spin-off could be explored in greater depth, and new challenges for the couples could be introduced.
What is Berlin about?
The spin-off takes fans back to the golden age before the events of Money Heist (La Casa de Papel), featuring Berlin and a masterful gang gathering in Paris to plan one of their most ambitious heists in history.
Being a prequel, the epic conclusion that the character played by Alonso had in the main series is forgotten in the past. Now, we can learn more about Berlin, how he developed that personality, and how he became one of the most sought-after and efficient thieves in the criminal world.
