The world of Money Heist is expanding on Netflix with the release of spin-off Berlin, which is a prequel focusing on one of the most popular – yet controversial – members of the original gang.

Set in Paris, the show is as much a romantic drama as it is a heist thriller, with sparks regularly flying between its numerous characters across an eight-episode first season.

Naturally, music is used to heighten the most emotionally intense scenes, with French and Spanish ballads making the soundtrack alongside more recent work by Charli XCX and Imagine Dragons.

The opening theme song for Money Heist: Berlin is Bullets and Flowers by Francis White (feat Nikki Garcia), which is part of a wider soundtrack composed by Lucas Peire and Frank Montasell.

The original Money Heist series became known for its own opening credits track, titled My Life is Going On, which was performed by Cecilia Krull. The series also popularised anti-fascist Italian protest song Bella Ciao.

This remix of the latter by French DJ Hugel is worth a listen:
