Andrés de Fonollosa, better known as Berlin, will no longer be the only character in ‘The Money Heist’ which will appear in the spinoff of the series. Netflix has announced that Iziar de Ituño (‘Intimacy’) and Najwa Nimri (‘Holy Family’) are joining the filming of ‘Berlin’. In principle, the fiction focuses on recounting the golden years of the character played by Pedro Alonso, going through some of his most surprising blows together with a band that is made up of Michelle Jenner, Tristán Ulloa, Begoña Vargas, Julio Peña Fernández and Joel Sánchez. .
The eight-episode series continues filming in Madrid, after Paris, and its premiere is scheduled for December. Ález Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato are the creators and also scriptwriters of the story that David Barrocal, David Oliva and Lorena G. Maldonado have written with them. Albert Pintó (‘Sky Rojo’), David Barrocal and Geoffrey Cowper (‘Third Degree’) are the directors.
We will have to wait to find out how their characters fit into the story of the new series, taking into account that it is a prequel that takes place in a period before the events of the original series. The plot explores the most hedonistic personality of the character from Berlin, whose motors of his life are love and a good and stimulating millionaire booty. In those years, the character still does not know that he has a disease and it is a long time before he ends up locked up in the Mint, in a carefully planned robbery together with his brother ‘The Professor’. But the series will reflect the preparation of one of his most extraordinary robberies: making 44 million worth of jewels disappear as if it were an illusionism number, in which he will have one of the three gangs with which he has stolen in his life.
After passing through ‘La casa de papel’, the two actresses have starred in other projects. Itziar Ituño became one of the protagonists of ‘Privacy’the award-winning Netflix series which tells how the dissemination of images and intimate relationships without their permission impacts the lives of different women. For her part, Najwa Nimri has also starred in ‘Sacred Family’another successful series on the platform in which she plays a courageous mother willing to do anything for her children and who will have a second season. the actress too is part of the cast of the second season of the Álex de la Iglesia series for HBO Max, ’30 coins’.
