- Netflix announced Saturday that "Money Heist" (La Casa de Papel) will return with multiple spin-offs expanding the series universe, releasing a 50-second official announcement teaser alongside the statement "the revolution NEVER ends."
- Alvaro Morte (the Professor) revealed the expansion at Saturday's Seville world premiere of "Berlin" Season 2, which Netflix will release on May 15 as the franchise's next entry point.
- The teaser's final scene shows hands unearthing a gold bar, leaving fans debating whether the new content will be character spin-offs, a Season 6, or both.
- Spanish newspaper El País reported last month that Vancouver—Alex Pina's production label—is already filming a four-episode miniseries centered on Colonel Tamayo, played by Fernando Cayo.
Why it matters: Netflix is positioning the Money Heist IP as a multi-entry franchise rather than a single series, with 'Berlin' Season 2 (May 15) and a four-episode Tamayo miniseries already in production at creator Alex Pina's Vancouver label. The gold-bar tease and the Vancouver shoot show the streamer is betting character spin-offs can carry the brand beyond the original's conclusion.
