The latest chapter in the Money Heist universe brings Berlin (Pedro Alonso), Damián (Tristán Ulloa), and the gang back together to pull off another labyrinthine heist — long before Berlin helped take the Royal Mint of Spain hostage in the original series.

They’ve been hired by the Duke of Málaga (José Luis García-Pérez) to steal Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic Lady with an Ermine.

But for this heist — with a plan so brilliant that it is, in itself, a masterpiece — nothing is what it seems. Especially because Berlin plans to rob the duke instead.
Michelle Jenner (Gun City), Begoña Vargas (Welcome to Eden), Julio Peña Fernández (Through My Window), and Joel Sánchez (A Widow’s Game) reprise their roles, and are joined by Inma Cuesta (The Mess You Leave Behind) and Marta Nieto (Feria: The Darkest Light).
