After five nail-biting seasons devoured by fans around the world, Money Heist has finally wrapped up on Netflix, but one member of the Bella Ciao gang will return in an upcoming spin-off series.

Pedro Alonso will reprise his role as sociopathic mastermind Berlin in a self-titled solo series, with the actor praising fan support for keeping the show alive long after its initial cancellation by Spanish broadcaster Antena 3.

No plot details have been announced just yet, but it stands to reason that the show will be set before the assault on the Royal Mint, given that Berlin sacrificed his life at the end of that dramatic heist (as depicted in season two).

Since then, the character has remained a big part of the show via flashback appearances, with a season five storyline involving his estranged son Rafael (Patrick Criado) and doomed marriage to Tatiana (Diana Gómez).

“I’m so happy about it,” Alonso said of the spin-off (via TVLine). “I am deeply grateful to be able to connect with people all over the world and receive so much love and such a memorable time.

“We started this series walking into the unknown and we have been winning ever since. You fans are our accomplices and thank you for that.”

Berlin release date rumours

There’s no specific release date for Berlin just yet, but Netflix has announced that the new series will land on the streaming service sometime in 2023.

That might feel like a long time away, but if the spin-off is able to film next year, then we could see it as early as the first quarter of 2023, which is only about a year away.

We’ll keep this page updated with details on Berlin’s production, so keep checking back for the latest news.

This heist might be coming to an end, but the story continues…
