Berlin and Professor bid farewell to the show

The actors who portray the roles of Professor and Berlin said goodbye to the show via social media. Alvaro Morte thanked the fans in his post and said that he would miss having such a good time playing Professor. Pedro Alonso (Berlin) also thanked Morte and said, "One of those that really deserve to be kept in a treasure chest after the odyssey."

Netflix breathed new life into the Spanish crime drama

Money Heist originally started off as La Casa de Papel on a Spanish channel called Antena 3 in 2017. The show didn't get many eyeballs there but was later acquired by Netflix. Thanks to its worldwide reach and dubbing in multiple languages, Money Heist became one of the most-watched non-English shows on the streaming platform and one of the most-watched shows overall as well.

The series has been such a worldwide phenomenon that Netflix is now developing a Korean adaptation of the show. The 12-episode first season will be made in collaboration with BH Entertainment and Contents Zium. Netflix has even announced the cast of the show including Yoo Ji-Tae as the Professor, Park Hae-Soo as Berlin, Jun Jung-Seo as Tokyo, and Park Jung Woo as Rio.
