The universe of La Casa de Papel continues to expand. Netflix has officially announced the next chapter in the spin-off saga is titled Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine (Berlín y la dama del armiño) instead of season 2. Here is everything we know about the new series, including the plot, the new cast members, and the confirmed release date.
It has been a quiet wait for fans of the Money Heist universe, but the silence has finally broken. On December 10th, 2025, Netflix released the first look and teaser for the next installment of the robbery phenomenon, confirming that Pedro Alonso is back in the suit to lead his band of thieves once again.
The series continues to be helmed by the original creators Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato (who recently delivered Billionaires’ Bunker, which has yet to get a season 2 renewal), alongside a team including David Barrocal, Lorena G. Maldonado, Itziar Sanjuán, Humberto Ortega, and Luis Garrido Julve.
Netflix has confirmed that Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine will be released globally on May 15th. The season will consist of eight episodes with filming for the new season taking place across various Spanish locations, including Seville, Madrid, San Sebastián, and Peñíscola.
Directing duties for the eight episodes are split between Albert Pintó (Nowhere), David Barrocal (Sky Rojo), and José Manuel Cravioto (Diablero).
While the first season of Berlin focused on a jewel heist in Paris, the new season moves the action to Seville.
According to the official synopsis provided by Netflix, Berlin and Damián are reuniting the band to execute a new master stroke: they are going to pretend to steal the famous Leonardo da Vinci painting, The Lady with an Ermine. However, the “heist” is a facade, with their true target being the Duke of Málaga and his wife, a couple who think they can blackmail Berlín.
The original crew from the first Berlin series are all confirmed to return, which means Pedro Alonso is back as Berlin, joined once again by Michelle Jenner as Keila, Tristán Ulloa as Damián, Begoña Vargas as Cameron, Julio Peña Fernández as Roi, and Joel Sánchez as Bruce. Their return keeps the familiar dynamic intact, giving this new chapter a strong continuity with the original heist crew.
Several new faces are also joining the Seville-set story. Inma Cuesta steps in as Candela, a mysterious new recruit described as someone who will steal Berlin’s heart. José Luis García-Pérez will play the Duke of Málaga, while Marta Nieto takes on the role of the Duchess of Málaga, adding a fresh layer of aristocratic intrigue to the upcoming plot.
