Netflix phenomenon money heist came to an end in 2021, but this doesn’t mean that the story is completely over. Following the successful reception of the show, the streaming service announced that there will be a spin-off series centered on Berlin (Pedro Alonso), as well as a Korean version of the Spanish coming out on June, 24th, 2022. The escalating interest for Korean dramas intensified with the release of Squid Game, a series that broke Money Heist’s record for most-viewed non-English show on Netflix. The remake is an opportunity to warm the hearts that are longing for more of the elaborate bank heist narrative and draw more people to original Korean productions.

The announcement of the Korean remake came out in November 2020. However, more details were only uncovered on December 1, 2021, during TUDUM (a Netflix event sharing exclusive clips, interviews, and release dates to forthcoming productions from the streaming service). Squid game actor Park Hae-soo appeared in a video stating that he will play Berlin in the Korean adaptation.
