Details of the Spinoff
The show’s spin-off titled Berlin, is set to launch in 2023. Berlin is one of the most popular-yet-polarizing characters from the popular show known as La Casa De Papel in Spanish. Not much has been shared about the new show’s plot and how the makers plan to bring Berlin back as the character had died towards the end of season two of “Money Heist”.
Netflix gives nod to Money Heist spin-off project
The news of the spin-off comes as Money Heist is ending with its last five episodes that dropped on December 3. The climax of the first volume of Season 5 had ended with an alleged death of Tokyo, played by Ursula Curbelo, one of the robbers involved in the heist. So her return in volume 2 might not be confirmed, though twists surrounding her appearance are very much in store.
