“Some works of art are priceless. Some thieves are too.”

Berlín is back — and this time, the most flamboyant mastermind in the Money Heist universe is targeting a treasure that even the Professor would raise an eyebrow at.

Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine premieres May 15, 2026, exclusively on Netflix, bringing Pedro Alonso’s iconic antihero into a brand-new, sun-drenched battleground: the majestic city of Seville.

This isn’t just another heist.

This is art, desire, betrayal, and chaos — performed with the elegance only Berlín can bring.

Below is your complete breakdown: plot, cast, heist details, new characters, filming locations, and why this new chapter might become the most stylish and emotionally charged Berlin story yet.

Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine, the new installment in the Money Heist universe, arrives on Netflix on May 15, 2026. The series returns Pedro Alonso as Berlin, leading his gang through a high-stakes heist in Seville to steal Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic painting. Here is everything confirmed about the release date, cast, story, and what makes this new Berlin adventure one of Netflix’s biggest 2026 originals.

🎨 The Premise: A Heist Wrapped in Art, Chaos & Revenge

In this new installment, Berlín and Damián reunite the gang for a mission that smells like money, danger, and pure theatrical drama.

📌 The Goal: Steal Leonardo da Vinci’s Lady with an Ermine.

—or so it seems.

Because this time, the heist is a double play. The team isn’t actually after the painting itself… but the powerful, manipulative couple who believe they can blackmail Berlín: the Duke and Duchess of Málaga.

And if there’s one thing we know about Berlín:

“Threaten him… and he turns into the most dangerous man in the room.”

This heist is personal, strategic, and fueled by a revenge arc that promises to show Berlin’s darkest side.

🏴‍☠️ The Setting: Seville — A City Made for Crime & Art

Money Heist always excelled at turning European cities into cinematic playgrounds.

But Seville?

That's a whole different level of beauty.

Expect:

• narrow cathedrals hiding corridors perfect for covert ops

• palaces and museums rich with Renaissance art

• golden Andalusian sunsets bathing the team’s most dramatic moments

• high-society parties that turn into spy arenas

This universe has always loved spectacle — and Seville is the perfect stage.

💥 The Cast: Old Favorites Return, New Enemies Rise

⭐ Pedro Alonso as Berlín

Charming, manipulative, brilliant — and more emotionally explosive than ever.

⭐ Returning Crew

• Michelle Jenner as Keila

• Tristán Ulloa as Damián

• Begoña Vargas as Cameron

• Julio Peña Fernández as Roi

• Joel Sánchez as Bruce

The chemistry from the first season returns full force — brains, brawn, emotions, chaos. Berlín chooses only the best.

⭐ New Additions

• Inma Cuesta as Candela, A brilliant new thief and Berlin’s love interest — meaning heartbreak and betrayal are guaranteed.

• José Luis García-Pérez as the Duke

• Marta Nieto as the Duchess

The Duke and Duchess are the perfect adversaries: rich, powerful, beautiful, dangerous — and foolish enough to underestimate Berlín.

🖼 The Heist: Why Lady with an Ermine Matters

Leonardo da Vinci’s Lady with an Ermine is one of the most treasured Renaissance artworks in the world.

But in this story?

It becomes the perfect distraction.

The painting is the bait.

Berlin is the trap.

And the Duke & Duchess are the prey.

This isn’t a simple “grab the art and run” mission.

This is a performance, a game of masks, manipulation, and psychological warfare — the stuff Berlin lives for.

💔 Romance, Heartbreak & Betrayal — Berlin’s Lifelong Cycle

Berlin’s love stories are always doomed:

He loves intensely, passionately… and destructively.

In this chapter, Candela enters his life — and early whispers already suggest:

• She challenges him

• She disarms him

• She destabilizes him

• She may destroy him

Because when Berlin falls in love, the heist always gets messier.

And mess is what fans love.
