Netflix’s global drama La Casa De Papel, also known as Money Heist to international viewers, will end in two days, December 3, with the final part of Season 5. But, don’t worry fans, the franchise is far from done.

Netflix officially announced a spin-off, centered on Pedro Alonso’s Andrés de Fonollosa, also known as Berlin. Berlin was a jewel thief, Professor’s older brother, and his second-in-command.

“It is a memorable moment because it is the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. Today I was talking to Jesús Colmenar and we were saying that now we walk into the unknown, open to whatever happens and without expectations. I know that these people will give the series every possible twist and turn. The responsibility (of spinning off such a popular series) can be a burden and a prison, I hope we continue to have the courage to use this wonderful energy to risk everything again.”

Despite his questionable personality, or maybe just because of that, Berlin was one of the fan-favorite characters in the show. He was killed by the police in the finale of Season 1 (Part 2), but Alonso still remained on the series afterward. Writers later revealed that they wouldn’t have killed Berlin off if they knew that the series will continue after the first season. But now, it is what it is.

Netflix confirmed that spin-off is set to arrive on the streamer in 2023.

Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
