Charm and larceny share equal billing in Berlin, the 2023 Spanish heist series built around the con artist first introduced in Money Heist.
What is Berlin about?
Set during his glory days, the story gathers Berlin and a crew of accomplices in Paris to pull off one of the most audacious jewel heists of his career, a job planned with the same theatrical precision that made his earlier appearances memorable. The series leans into charisma over grit, following a character who treats crime as performance and romance as strategy in equal measure. Álex Pina, the creator behind the wider Money Heist universe, directs a story that stands on its own while sharing the tone and scale of its predecessor. Pedro Alonso reprises the role opposite Michelle Jenner, Tristán Ulloa, Begoña Vargas, Julio Peña, Joel Sánchez, and Samantha Siqueiros, an ensemble built to match Berlin's mix of confidence and vulnerability.
About the cast
Pedro Alonso returns to the role that made Berlin one of Money Heist's most quoted characters, paired with Michelle Jenner and Tristán Ulloa as key players in the Paris crew, while Begoña Vargas, Julio Peña, Joel Sánchez, and Samantha Siqueiros fill out an ensemble spanning the operation's younger and more seasoned members.
Context & significance
Berlin extends the Money Heist franchise by turning to prequel territory, giving one of its most theatrical characters a story of his own rather than folding him back into the original heist's timeline. Álex Pina's involvement keeps the spinoff tied closely to the visual and narrative style that made the original series a global hit, while the Paris setting and jewel-heist premise give this chapter its own identity within the same world.
