The next heist begins where the rules of high society end. If a duchess guards the door, does a gentleman thief knock or kick it in?
The La Casa de Papel spin-off Berlín and the Lady an Ermine returns to Netflix on May 15, 2026, swapping Paris for Sevilla and sharpening its heist game. Pedro Alonso is back at the center of the crew, with Inma Cuesta, Marta Nieto and José Luis García-Pérez joining Michelle Jenner, Tristán Ulloa and Joel Sánchez. The new plot tangles with the Duquesa de Málaga and a relationship twist around Candela, as creators Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato push for a bigger, slicker caper after a debut that racked up 329 million hours viewed. Directors Albert Pintó, David Barrocal and José Manuel Cravioto are steering the action toward a season built to outpace the first.
A thrilling return: Berlin and the Lady an Ermine strikes again
One of Netflix‘s most successful non-English series is back, and fans couldn’t be more excited. Berlín y la dama del armiño (Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine), the gripping spin-off from Money Heist, is set to launch its second season on May 15, 2026. After a stellar debut, the new chapter promises an even more ambitious heist, dramatic storylines, and a bold change in setting. Intrigued yet?
A new heist amid Sevilla’s grandeur
Setting the stage in Sevilla, the second season moves the drama from Paris to southern Spain, embracing a vibrant yet dangerous atmosphere. Berlín, played by Pedro Alonso, assembles his cunning crew for a daring new heist. This time, the theft unfolds within the shadowy world of aristocracy, with a compelling antagonist, the Duquesa de Málaga portrayed by Marta Nieto. Can Berlín outwit not only the authorities but also centuries of aristocratic power in Andalucía?
Alongside the heist, the show delves into new layers of Berlín’s relationships, particularly with Candela, a character brought to life by Inma Cuesta. Their dynamic promises to be as fiery as it is tragic, adding an emotional depth to the action-packed plot.
An exciting cast: old favorites and fresh faces
Pedro Alonso naturally reprises his role as Berlín, with returning faces like Tristán Ulloa, Michelle Jenner, and Joel Sánchez adding continuity to the narrative. But the new season shakes things up with notable additions, including Inma Cuesta, José Luis García-Pérez as the Duque de Málaga, and Marta Nieto as the equally formidable duchess. Their involvement injects fresh energy, ensuring that this sequel evolves rather than merely repeats past successes.
The creative minds behind the spectacle
Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato, the brilliant pair behind Money Heist, continue to bring their vision to life with a stellar team of writers, including David Barrocal and Lorena G. Maldonado. Directors like Albert Pintó and José Manuel Cravioto also return to craft the sharp visuals and breathless tension that fans expect. Their goal is to surpass the impressive 329 million viewing hours achieved by the first season. No small challenge!
Setting the bar for non-English series
Netflix has a growing reputation for its non-English programming, and Berlín y la dama del armiño is a glowing example. Following the footsteps of international hits like Lupin, this series reinforces the global appeal of rich storytelling. Fans and critics alike are eager to see if Berlín’s next adventure will meet or even exceed the hype as May 2026 approaches. For now, the countdown begins.
