Berlín will introduce several new characters to the Money Heist franchise as the spinoff has added a number of talented stars to the cast list. A prequel to the hit Antena 3 and Netflix series, Money Heist, the Berlín spinoff sees Pedro Alonso reprise his role as the eponymous jewel thief as he plans another grand heist in Paris, France. While the world knows him as the bank robber Berlín, the spinoff makes him a bit more complex by exploring his backstory and allowing viewers to see what an ingenious criminal he is.

However, while Berlín is known for having successfully pulled off twenty-seven robberies, that doesn't mean he hasn't had any help along the way. With several new and talented actors joining the Money Heist franchise after being cast in Berlín, the spinoff will introduce a brand new crew who will prove themselves to be just as iconic as the original.

The on-set first-look comes as Germany’s Beta Film has acquired international rights to “La Fortuna,” which marks the first incursion into drama series direction by Oscar winning director Alejandro Amenabar.

An adventure series, based on the true-to-life discovery of the biggest sunken treasure of all time in 2007, “La Fortuna’s” two-minute making of video marks the first footage of any sort from the six-hour series, one of the most-anticipated TV shows from the Spanish-speaking world.

The teaser forefronts the cast, taking in high-caliber character actors such as T’Nia Miller (“Years & Years”) and Peters, as well as Tucci, who’s gaining heat for his performance in “Supernova.” The video also features...

Academy Award nominee Stanley Tucci is set to star as a buccaneering treasure hunter in “La Fortuna,” a modern-day six-part adventure thriller from AMC Studios and Spain’s Movistar Plus, representing one of the most ambitious drama series to come out of Spain to date.

When The Office premiered in 2005, John Krasinski was a 25-year-old unknown actor whose biggest roles to date included "Messenger No. 3" in 2004's Taxi and "Flea Club Candidate 1" in 2002's Alma Mater. By the time The Office aired its last episode in 2013, John was a bona-fide movie star married to fellow A-lister Emily Blunt and - oh yeah - incredibly hot. The actor's 15-year journey from goofy, floppy-haired Jim Halpert to totally jacked Jack Ryan is seriously impressive, and we think the best way to celebrate it is to take a stroll down memory lane with these 44 adorable throwback pics.
