Netflix confirmed the expansion of the Money Heist universe with multiple spin-offs, according to a teaser released on May 9. The trailer reviews the heists of the Royal Mint of Spain, the gold of the Bank of Spain, and Berlin's diamonds. The second season of Berlin will premiere soon, while the platform prepares new derivative projects.
The technical engine behind the franchise: production and streaming 🎬
The expansion of the franchise involves significant technical development. Vancouver Media, the show's production company, uses 4K workflows with Sony Venice cameras to maintain visual quality. Netflix, for its part, optimizes content delivery through AV1 encoding, reducing bandwidth by up to 30% without loss of detail. The spin-offs will require localization in 30 languages, a process the platform automates with AI tools for lip-syncing and subtitles.
Money Heist: now also in your fridge, because everything is squeezable 🍿
With so many spin-offs, we'll soon see The Professor stealing a phone charger in a bar or Tokyo trying to hack a toaster. Netflix's strategy is clear: if something works, they squeeze it until the characters ask for a sequel to their own lives. Next up will be a spin-off of Helsinki's monkey, which will surely have more development than some humans in the series.
