‘Money Heist’ lines up a new score while continuing to strike gold for Netflix nearly a decade after its debut

Netflix is continuing to expand the Money Heist franchise, whose older seasons remain unusually popular nearly five years after the original series ended. Its enduring viewing figures help explain why the streaming service is developing another spin-off, this time focused on the police and the hunt for the gang’s hidden gold.

In the first half of 2026, Berlin’s second season drew 27.6 million views, while Money Heist’s first season had 8.8 million; seasons two to five also ranked among Netflix’s most-watched Spanish series. Filming wrapped in September on the four-episode spin-off, provisionally titled Metal Detectors, with Fernando Cayo reprising Colonel Tamayo and Javier Rey joining the cast. Álvaro Morte is also set to return, according to the article.
