Netflix has revealed the much-anticipated renewal of the second season of “Berlin,” the first spin-off from the popular series “Money Heist.” Keeping the details of the upcoming season under wraps, Netflix will commence production in 2025. The character Berlin is portrayed by Pedro Alonso, and the series highlights an earlier chapter of his life. The announcement comes following a month since the premiere of its action-packed 8-episode prequel, which quickly became one of Netflix’s most-watched shows worldwide in its first week.
Overview of Berlin
“Berlin” centres around the backstory of the same character from “Money Heist.” With elements of his life portrayed via flashbacks in “Money Heist” serving as a reference, the series explores Berlin’s philosophy towards love and money, driving his fierce determination towards achieving his lofty goal. He is depicted as plotting an extravagant heist amounting to $44 million in jewels. To successfully execute the plan, Berlin assembles a team of skilled criminals: Keila, a cybersecurity genius; Damián, an academic and Berlin’s close ally; Cameron, an unpredictable risk-taker; Roi, a locksmith and Berlin’s loyal aide; and Bruce, the gadget and weaponry expert.

The cast includes Tristán Ulloa, Michelle Jenner, Begoña Vargas, Julio Peña Fernández, Joel Sánchez, and Pedro Alonso who reprises his character from “Money Heist.” It further features the return of Itziar Ituño and Najwa Nimri, who reprise their respective original roles.
