Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine is the official title of the second season of Berlin, the hit Money Heist prequel series on Netflix. Released globally on May 15, 2026, the 8-episode Spanish-language series follows master jewel thief Andrés de Fonollosa (played by Pedro Alonso) as he shifts his criminal operations from Paris to Seville, Spain. Originally it was made in Spanish, but the English release has drawn massive attention online because Netflix utilized advanced AI dubbing that matches the actors' actual mouth movements to the English voiceover, fixing a common complaint from the first season.
The central storyline centers around an audacious operation targeting Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece portrait, The Lady with an Ermine. However, the art heist is largely a high-stakes decoy. Berlin and his right-hand man, Damián, reunite their signature crew to exact revenge on the Duke of Málaga (Álvaro Hermoso de Medina) and his wife after the aristocratic couple attempts to blackmail Berlin.
The narrative unfolds as a complex "double heist":
- The Art Heist: The team fakes and controls the theft of the iconic Renaissance painting to manipulate the Duke and maintain a false sense of security.
- The Real Target: The actual goal is to break into a heavily protected underground vault to extract the Duke's hidden fortune and systematically dismantle his entire financial and social empire.
- Money Heist: A highly acclaimed, 5-part crime thriller series available to stream globally on Netflix. The story follows a brilliant criminal mastermind known as "The Professor" who recruits a crew of skilled outlaws to pull off unprecedented, multi-billion-euro heists.
- Berlin: A prequel series focused on the fan-favorite character Berlin (Pedro Alonso) and his earlier art heist escapades in Paris.
- Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area: A Korean adaptation of the series featuring a similar premise but a unique geopolitical setting.
