berlin, until now, does not have a release date, although it has been revealed that it will take place in the indefinite past in different locations between Spain and Paris. Its creators: Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato did not declare if we will see other characters from The Money Heist beyond the protagonist. “He would be a spoilers. We have striven for the Berlin series to have its own identity. It is an autonomous series”, explained the creator in a statement to The Huff Post.
Pedro Alonso continues with the character for this prequel. “My life has been a gift after another gift, with a character that for me is a theme park,” said the actor.
Begoña Vargas, Tristán Ulloa, Pedro Alonso, Michelle Jenner, Julio Peña and Joel Sánchez are part of the cast that has been revealed for berlin.
“We had a 360º personality, which gives us a lot of play in writing and we wanted to explore it. A slightly more playful, comic or romantic side of the character without losing that psychopathy that he has in some Berlin moments, ”said Pina. His effervescent personality was precisely one of the great reasons that made Berlin the protagonist of this first spin off of the successful Spanish series, although they do not rule out that it can also be done with other characters.
Berlin is one of the audience’s favorite characters, largely due to his charisma, but he is also controversial, something that the creators are not afraid to explore in this spin off. “The character is dark, we wouldn’t want him as a neighbor, but he is intelligent and deeply emotional,” said Martínez Lobato, who believes that putting that emotional component at the service of a less dark story than the one we saw recently is provocative.
“He is a controversial character but that is the greatness. It is unpredictable and stimulating, it gives you all the possibilities as a writer and you are always on your toes with it. That is always good in fiction”, defends Pina.
The Money Heist is a television phenomenon that reached millions of people around the world and that is why the creation of this spin off. For many, the cast has generated great expectation, in which they have used enormous secrecy to prevent any kind of detail from leaking out. “It has been difficult to keep the secret because we wanted to shout it from the rooftops,” Michelle Jenner has confessed.
