Netflix has made a major announcement for fans of the global hit “Money Heist.” The spin-off series “Berlin” is officially returning with a new chapter titled Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine. The streaming service confirmed the show will be released worldwide on May 15, 2026. Along with the release date, a new teaser and first images were shared, revealing more about the upcoming heist.
The New Season’s Full Title and Plot
The second season is moving forward with a brand new, full title: Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine (Berlín y la dama del armiño). This is not just a simple Season 2. Netflix and the creators are presenting it as a new, distinct installment in the “Money Heist” universe.
The story moves the action from Paris to the sun-drenched streets of Seville, Spain. Berlin, again played by Pedro Alonso, reunites his crew for what appears to be their most artistic job yet. The official plan is to pull off a heist targeting the famous Leonardo da Vinci painting, The Lady with an Ermine.
However, there is a major twist. The painting is not the real target. The crew’s actual mission is to go after a powerful couple: the Duke and Duchess of Málaga. This couple believes they can blackmail Berlin. Their challenge is expected to awaken Berlin’s “darkest side” and set him on a path of revenge.
“Berlin and Damián bring the gang together to pretend to steal the Lady with an Ermine. But their real target is the Duke of Málaga and his wife.”
The Full Cast Returning and Joining the Heist
Fans of the first season will be happy to know the entire core crew is returning for this new adventure. The confirmed returning cast includes:
- Pedro Alonso as Berlin
- Michelle Jenner as Keila, the tech expert
- Tristán Ulloa as Damián, Berlin’s close friend
- Begoña Vargas as Cameron
- Julio Peña Fernández as Roi
- Joel Sánchez as Bruce
They will be joined by several new faces who will add fresh drama to the story:
- Inma Cuesta joins as Candela, a mysterious woman from Seville described as someone who will “steal Berlin’s heart”.
- José Luis García-Pérez will play the eccentric Duke of Málaga, Álvaro Hermoso de Medina.
- Marta Nieto will play the refined Duchess of Málaga, Genoveva Dante.
Key Details for the New Season
The new season was created and is being produced by the original team behind “Money Heist” and the first season of “Berlin.” The show’s creators are Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato. They also serve as writers alongside David Barrocal, Lorena G. Maldonado, and others.
The series will run for eight episodes, matching the length of the first season. Directing duties are split between Albert Pintó, David Barrocal, and José Manuel Cravioto.
Filming took place across various beautiful and historic locations in Spain, including Seville, Madrid, San Sebastián, and Peñíscola. This promises a visually stunning backdrop for the high-stakes heist.
How to Watch the First Season
For those who need to catch up or re-watch, the first season of “Berlin” is available to stream on Netflix. It consists of eight episodes that follow Berlin and his gang during his “glory days” as they attempt an incredibly complex jewel heist in Paris.
The series serves as a prequel to the main “Money Heist” story, showing Berlin’s life long before the events at the Royal Mint of Spain.
