Pedro Alonso hung up the red jumpsuit for good. Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine — the definitive farewell to one of La Casa de Papel‘s most iconic characters — has landed on Netflix, and fans are already asking the only question that matters: what comes next? As it turns out, quite a lot.

Why Berlin Season 3 Will Never Happen?
The decision is simple and entirely human. According to a behind-the-scenes report, Pedro Alonso called a meeting with creators Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato just two months before Berlin Season 2’s release to announce he wanted to leave the character he had played for almost ten years behind.
Creator Álex Pina responded with grace: he reflected that Berlin, as a character, has a wonderful ability to pass from one genre to another — from darkness to light, to comedy — and that for a writer, that is wonderful to work with. But he understood that there is a moment when an actor needs to shed that skin and that soul, and he respected the decision without being pushy.

Co-creator Esther Martínez Lobato was equally candid, noting they had plenty of pending stories and ideas for the character — many adventures in many places around the world — but ultimately, the one who carries the weight and embodies Berlin is Pedro Alonso. whats-on-netflix
Netflix has since confirmed officially that Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine marks the final chapter in Berlin’s story — a definitive farewell to one of the franchise’s most beloved characters.
So What IS Coming Next?
The Professor Returns — Money Heist Continuation
Netflix officially stated that the stories of Money Heist do not end with Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine, confirming the universe is actively expanding. Shortly after, a second cryptic teaser featuring Álvaro Morte removing his Dalí mask was released with the caption: “Every dream and every ship needs a captain: Álvaro Morte leads our crew of red jumpsuits and Dalí masks to announce that the Money Heist universe lives on.” whats-on-netflix
The Professor is back. Whether this means a full Season 6 with an entirely new crew and fresh international target remains unconfirmed — but the gold bars dug up at the end of the teaser are a very clear hint that the continuation picks up directly from where the original series ended.
Buscametales — A Colonel Tamayo Spinoff
According to reports circulating among Spanish outlets, Álex Pina’s production company is already developing a four-episode miniseries focused on fan-favourite antagonist Colonel Tamayo (played by Fernando Cayo), tentatively titled Buscametales (Metal Seekers). The police-focused spinoff would follow Inspector Tamayo as he tries to track down the missing gold from the Bank of Spain heist — with rumours that Álvaro Morte may even appear, tying both announcements together.
Could a Bollywood Spinoff Be on the Cards?
Money Heist has now featured in the Netflix Top 10 in India for 884 days — more than it ever featured in Spain (159 days). Given that extraordinary fan devotion, an India-set spinoff remains one of the most exciting possibilities on the table. The franchise has already proven it can travel globally, and a Bollywood version done right — not a carbon-copy retelling — could be genuinely spectacular. whats-on-netflix
