Pedro Alonso returns as Berlin on May 15 in Money Heist
money heist spin-off Berlin returns to streaming on May 15, with Pedro Alonso back in the title role for Season 2. The new run extends a 2017 Spanish-language franchise that ran for five seasons and finished in 2021, then spun off in 2023 with a separate robbery story.
Pedro Alonso Returns
Pedro Alonso reprises Berlin, while Tristán Ulloa returns as Damian, Begoña Vargas as Cameron, Julio Peña Fernández as Roi, and Joel Sánchez as Bruce. Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato are back as writers, which keeps the series tied to the team behind the original Money Heist run.
That matters because Berlin is not a side project built around a one-off cameo. It is a continuing heist franchise with a returning core cast and a fixed release date, the kind of setup streaming services use to keep a recognizable title cycling through new seasons instead of letting the brand stall after one spinoff.
Seville and the Painting
Season 2 sends the gang back to Seville after the jewel heist in Season 1, then turns the job toward The Lady with an Ermine, Leonardo da Vinci's painting. The title points to the target directly, and the story gives Berlin and his small team of robbers a cleaner, more focused objective than the first season’s setup.
The Duke of Málaga and his wife try to blackmail Berlin, with José Luis García-Pérez and Marta Nieto playing the couple. Inma Cuesta joins the cast as Candela, adding another moving part to a season built around pressure, leverage, and a theft with a named prize instead of a vague caper.
May 15 on Streaming
Berlin premiered in 2023 and was later renewed for Season 2, keeping one of Netflix’s most watched non-English franchises active after Money Heist ended in 2021. The practical takeaway is simple: viewers who followed the first Berlin heist do not have to wait for another long rollout; the next chapter is set for May 15.
For the platform, that is the point of the release. A recognizable brand, a returning lead, and a May 15 date give Berlin a built-in audience and a clear runway, while the new cast additions and the Seville setting keep the season from feeling like a replay of Season 1.
