Spanish Money Heist took absolutely everyone by surprise. This crime drama tells the story of a group of robbers who carry out the most daring heist in Spain. Dali's mask and red overalls became symbols of the resistance, and the almost forgotten song of the Italian partisans, Bella Ciao, could be heard everywhere.

Yes, Money Heist is a masterpiece not to be missed. Whether you're a fan of crime dramas or just looking for something new and exciting to watch, this show is definitely worth your time. Once you start, you won't be able to stop until you've watched the entire show.

And when you finally finish watching the original show, Berlin, a prequel about guess which character, is waiting for you.

Cast of Money Heist's Berlin

Pedro Alonso, of course, returns as the charming thief Andres de Fonollosa. The cast will also include Michelle Jenner as Keila, Tristan Ulloa as professor Damian, and Begona Vargas as Cameron. The latter is described as an extremely unstable character (did someone say Tokyo?).

Julio Pena got the role of the loyal Roi, and Joel Sanchez will play Bruce, the most ruthless criminal of the gang. In addition, from the recently released trailer it became clear that Najwa Nimri (Alicia Sierra) and Itziar Ituno (Raquel Murillo), who also appeared in the original show and played investigators of the secret services, will reprise their roles.

Money Heist's Prequel's Plot

Money Heist's creators, Alex Pina and Esther Martinez Lobato, explained that the idea behind the spin-off was to center the story around the most notable character from the original series. Berlin's iconic features were intended to be used, but the writers also wanted to use them to set Berlin in an entirely different world.
