If the name *Nine Queens* doesn’t ring a bell yet, it will soon. Netflix has just greenlit a Spanish series adaptation of the legendary Argentine [heist film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heist_film) of the same name — and they’ve brought in two of *Money Heist*‘s most beloved stars to lead it. Cameras are already rolling in Madrid, and the buzz is very real.

## Nine Queens (Nueve Reinas) — Overview

| Detail | Info |
| --- | --- |
| **Official Title** | Nueve Reinas (Nine Queens) |
| **Type** | Netflix Original Series |
| **Genre** | Crime, Thriller, Drama |
| **Setting** | Madrid, Spain — 2012 Economic Crisis |

## What Is *Nine Queens* About?

Set against the grim backdrop of Spain’s 2012 economic collapse, the story follows **Marcos**, a seasoned, ruthless con man, and **Juan**, a desperate young man barely keeping his family afloat. Their paths collide, and what starts as a small-time 24-hour scheme quickly escalates into the most audacious con of their lives — selling a set of legendary forged stamps, the “Nine Queens,” to an unforgiving billionaire. The series holds up a mirror to a broken economy where the line between victim and villain gets dangerously blurry.

It’s morally complex, tightly plotted, and rooted in source material that critics have adored for decades.

## The Star-Studded Cast

| Actor | Role | Known For |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Alvaro Morte** | Marcos (veteran scammer) | *Money Heist* (The Professor) |
| **Patrick Criado** | Juan (young desperate con man) | *Money Heist*, *Below Zero* |
| **Jose Coronado** | The ruthless billionaire target | *Wrong Side of the Tracks* |
| **Aura Garrido** | Undisclosed role | *The Innocent* |
| **Margarida Corceiro** | Undisclosed role | *Punto Nemo* |

Seeing **Alvaro Morte** (The Professor himself) and **Patrick Criado** share the screen again is genuinely exciting. It’s proof that Netflix treats its *Money Heist* alumni like royalty — and honestly, why wouldn’t they? That cast has delivered hit after hit across Europe.

## Why This One Has Real Potential

The original *Nueve Reinas* (2000) is widely regarded as one of the greatest Argentine films ever made — a tightly wound, twist-laden thriller with a gut-punch ending. Adapting it for a series format, set in the very real pain of Spain’s financial crisis, gives the story fresh emotional stakes. With a *Money Heist*-pedigree cast and production house LAZONA — known for blockbuster Spanish hits — this could easily be Netflix’s next massive European success.
