All ‘Money Heist’ Shows In Order

Money Heist tells the story of The Professor (Álvaro Morte), a criminal mastermind who recruits a team of eight to pull off the most ambitious heist in history at the Royal Mint of Spain in an 11-day operation. On the one hand, Money Heist offers everything you could want from a typical heist thriller. From the code names to the intricate plot to the meticulous planning, it’s a thrilling story that avoids the pitfalls of other heist dramas by steering clear from predictability.

However, Money Heist also shines because it’s not just about a heist. It’s also an intense, character-driven drama that delves deeply into its characters' lives and relationships. Their stories and the show’s strong anti-capitalist themes transform them from criminals into unexpected anti-heroes. The character connection and thought-provoking themes create an emotional weight similar to Squid Game (2021), though its intricate plot is reminiscent of shows like Prison Break (2005).

Money Heist: The Phenomenon is a documentary that delves into why and how Money Heist became a global phenomenon. It also functions as a behind-the-scenes feature, including interviews with the show's cast, crew, and creators. Money Heist: The Phenomenon also explores how Money Heist was more than just a source of entertainment. For many, it became a symbol of resistance, to the point that worldwide political protests have incorporated the show's iconic jumpsuits and masks.

Money Heist: The Phenomenon digs deeper into the world of Money Heist and is an engaging, feel-good documentary that celebrates an impactful work of art. If you fell in love with Money Heist and are eager to see more of the cast and crew, as well as to gain a deeper understanding of why the show resonates with so many people, Money Heist: The Phenomenon is an excellent watch.

If you loved Money Heist: The Phenomenon but wanted an even more in-depth behind-the-scenes aspect, Money Heist: From Tokyo to Berlin is made for you. The docuseries focuses specifically on the cast and crew of Money Heist as they discuss their creative process on the show. Given how much Money Heist has already resonated with audiences, it’s even more interesting to see firsthand the impact and work of those directly involved in the project.

Money Heist: From Tokyo to Berlin has the same celebratory feel as Money Heist: The Phenomenon, along with a bit more reflection. There’s a discussion of the story's evolution, the emotional impact of the show’s success on its cast, and an exploration of key creative decisions. Money Heist: From Tokyo to Berlin is an excellent watch for those seeking a greater appreciation of the original series.

In Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area, criminal mastermind The Professor (Yoo Ji-tae) recruits a group of thieves to pull off a major heist at the mint of the reunified Korean Peninsula. As you can likely tell from the description, it parallels the original's premise but features new characters and a new setting. Since Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area is a Korean remake, it lacks the advantage of surprise that Money Heist had when it released. 

However, it’s still an intense show that keeps viewers engaged with its elaborate plot. Additionally, the series explores themes of its own, using the refreshing setting to examine the division of Korea and to highlight its anti-capitalist themes in a new light. If you loved Money Heist but want a South Korean drama twist akin to Vincenzo (2021), Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area is worth a watch.

Berlin is the prequel to Money Heist that puts the spotlight on fan favorite, Andrés de Fonollosa a.k.a. Berlin (Pedro Alonso), who, years before the Royal Mint of Spain heist, pulled off his own jewel heist. There’s no denying that Berlin was one of the most interesting characters of Money Heist. Charismatic and charming, but also displaying elements of narcissism and insensitivity, he’s a prime example of the show’s surprisingly likable anti-heroes.

Hence, the prequel series is an intriguing continuation of Berlin’s story. It’s less about heist action like Money Heist was, and more a character study with intense psychological thriller and romance aspects. Berlin offers a twisted tale of obsession and criminality, and while it may not surpass the original series, it’s still highly entertaining. Fans of jewelry heist series like Kaleidoscope (2023) and Everybody Loves Diamonds (2023) will especially enjoy Berlin.

Berlin is rebranding for its second season with a new title: Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine. While it’s technically season 2 of Berlin and continues Berlin’s story, it does feature a few new elements beyond its title, including a change of location. Season 1 of Berlin is set primarily in Paris, but Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine takes us to Seville, Spain.

The new season will follow Berlin as he recruits his gang and sets off to complete his latest ambitious heist: faking the theft of Leonardo da Vinci’s Lady with an Ermine painting as a distraction for swindling his actual target. Berlin will return, and the heist sounds just as audacious as those in the Money Heist universe tend to be, boding well for the franchise’s latest expansion. Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine premieres on Netflix on May 15, 2026.
