At a press conference on Wednesday, Netflix made the announcement that production would soon begin on Berlin, a spinoff of La Casa de Papel (Money Heist) that will focus on the character played by Pedro Alonso.
The series is led by Pedro Alonso, who plays the skilled jewel thief Andrés de Fonollosa, also known as Berlin. In the prequel, which takes place before the events of Money Heist, Alonso will be joined by a brand new group of criminals.
Michelle Jenner (The Cook of Castamar) will play electronics specialist Keil , and Tristán Ulloa (Warrior Nun) will make an appearance as Damián, Berlin’s trusted advisor and a philanthropic professor. Begoa Vargas from Welcome to Eden plays the unstable Cameron; Julio Pea Fernández from Through My Window appears as Roi; and Joel Sánchez as the man of action, Bruce.

The eight-part prequel was written by Money Heist creators Esther Martnez Lobato and Alex Pina. During a Netflix event in Madrid, Martnez Lobato talked about the idea and said that “Berlin’s character has the most sparkling personality to place it in another universe. We loved the idea of introducing a new gang around Berlin in a completely different emotional state.
Alonso has disclosed how the first episode of the series was written. “There are only ten things that can turn a terrible day into a wonderful one. The first is love. And the truth is, that wasn’t the case. My third wife had just left me. The second is a spoil of more than ten million euros. But it wasn’t the case either. We were going to steal the link to a much bigger heist, but today’s was easy. But if you have a bad day, you can end up bringing a miserable person to his knees and aiming for his head.”
The series will begin shooting on October 3 in Paris and will take place over several weeks between the French capital and Madrid.
Netflix Philippines will be adding a lot of interesting content in October 2022, just in time for the Halloween season. This content will include a horror mystery TV series based on a novel, the third season of a mystery documentary TV show, and a horror TV series from Guillermo del Toro. Additionally, Netflix will be adding the sixth season of one of their most popular adult animated TV series, as well as a bunch of documentaries, including one about one of the most terrifying serial killers in American history.

To mark the return of Stranger Things season 4, Netflix Philippines created an immersive show using light, sound, and projection at the Glorietta 4 Activity Center. It was also part of Netflix’s campaign before the much-awaited release of Volume 2 on July 1.
The projection started with the creepy sound of the grandfather clock countdown, followed by tons of spiders coming out from the clock. The whole area glowed red just like the opening credit of the series. Scenes from the Vol. 2 came next before the portal slowly opened between our world and the Upside Down. The projection ended with Vecna’s return to the Upside Down and ready to look for his next victim.
Cosplayers of Vecna and Max recreated the famous scene of the series which can be found in season 4 episode 4.

The entire activity center was set up for photo opportunities as you enter Vecna’s Mind Lair with life-sized props and some elements of the show. The event provides a one-of-a-kind visual experience for fans and viewers and a genuine advertising initiative, which is uncommon today. It demonstrates not only Stranger Things’ popularity but also Netflix’s dedication to the show and its fans.
Glorietta looks like Starcourt Mall in season 3
The gateway to the Upside Down at the Glorietta 4 Activity Center is open to the public until July 2 from 6PM – 8PM every 15 minutes, so head over to Glorietta 4 and experience Vecna’s curse. Don’t forget to use #StrangerThings4PH when you share your photos or videos on your social media account. (NOTE: Cosplayers not included)
With less than one week until the last two episodes of Stranger Things Season 4 drop on Netflix, the streaming service has provided yet another peek at what’s in store for the youngsters battling to save Hawkins. Watch the latest trailer below:
Stranger Things, created by Matt and Ross Duffer, is Netflix’s most-watched English language series as of the first volume of season four. Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and the Hawkins gang have overcome unthinkable odds and come out on top,but not without casualties. Hawkins will fall, according to a sequence of warnings and concerns. Perhaps things will not go their way this time. Eleven isn’t prepared. But who is, when creatures from the Upside Down come calling?
The Duffer brothers have explicitly stated that certain fatalities will occur towards the conclusion of Season 4. A death was quite predictable, but the constant assurance that there would be more than one death is both disturbing and unexpected. Could it be main characters or latest cast additions? Stranger Things’ producers admitting several fatalities only heightens speculation about what the ultimate body count will be and who will be included in volume 2.
The last two episodes of the highly popular Netflix series this season will undoubtedly be filled with adventure, dramatic terror, and, of course, humor. Netflix stated that the two episodes will have a combined length of over four hours.
Prepare to have a mind- blowing streaming experience when Stranger Things returns on July 1st.

“Red light… GREENLIGHT!” reads the message alongside the teaser, which features a brief animation of the gigantic animatronic doll that features heavily in the “Squid Game” pilot.
“It took 12 years to bring the first season of ‘Squid Game’ to life last year. But it took 12 days for ‘Squid Game’ to become the most popular Netflix series ever,” reads the statement from director Hwang. “As the writer, director and producer of ‘Squid Game,’ a huge shout out to fans around the world. Thank you for watching and loving our show.”
The note also states “the man in the suit with ddakji might be back,” and that we’ll also get introduced to Cheol-su, Young-hee’s boyfriend.
The Korean series became Netflix’s biggest series ever and still streaming on the platform. It’s unclear when exactly season two will make its debut but one thing for sure that it’s going to be another hit.
