Stepping out of the enigmatic shadows of his big brother "The Professor" and straight into the blinding limelight, Andrés de Fonollosa, famously known by his nom de guerre, Berlin, rises to be the protagonist in the much-anticipated spin-off to the cultural phenomenon that was "Money Heist".
Fans across the globe have been left excitedly waiting for the premiere since the trailer of Berlin was unveiled at Netflix's recent TUDUM event.
The teaser served as a visceral reminder of the electrifying presence Berlin commanded on-screen during his tenure in the global hit show, Money Heist. His pathological charm, coupled with his uncanny ability to stay imperturbable in the face of grave danger, elevated Berlin from a mere character to a fan-favorite symbol of rebellion. Pedro Alonso, the man who so convincingly portrayed Berlin, returns to reprise his role in the prequel, providing the fans a chance to see a younger Berlin.
The prequel is set during Berlin's "golden age," with a story revolving around a heist and the disappearance of $44 million worth of jewels. Aiding Berlin in his endeavor is a motley crew of individuals, each with a unique skill set.
One cannot help but anticipate the series delving into Berlin's intriguing romantic history. Having been married five times, Berlin's romantic escapades promise to be as thrilling as his heists.
