Money Heist creators Esther Martínez Lobato and Álex Pina co-wrote the prequel, which consists of eight episodes. Speaking of the concept, Martínez Lobato said during a Netflix event in Madrid that they “loved the idea of introducing a new gang around Berlin in a completely different emotional state”.
Production for the series is expected to last several weeks, with shooting taking place in both Madrid and Paris. A Korean version of the show, Money Heist: Korea, aired earlier this year. Despite receiving mixed reviews, it’s been picked up for another season.
