Itziar Ituño ('La Casa de Papel') and Najwa Nimri ('La Casa de Papel') come back to their roles as policewomen Raquel Murillo and Alicia Sierra respectively.

About 'BERLIN'

There are only two things that are sure to turn a bad day into a great one: love, and a payday worth millions. They're what keep Berlin going through his golden years, a time when he still has no inkling of his illness and hasn't gotten trapped like a rat in the Spanish Mint. This is where he starts preparing one of his most extraordinary heists: making jewels worth 44 million disappear like some sort of magic trick. To do it, he'll enlist the help of one of the three gangs he's ever stolen with.
