It is interesting to note, however, that originally the series was meant to be a limited series told in two parts, but Netflix obtained the rights for it in late 2017 and then re-cut the series into shorter 22 episodes and released them worldwide in two parts. Later, Netflix announced two more parts with eight episodes each, in 2019 and 2020. Further, in July 2020, Netflix renewed the show for a fifth and the final part, released on 3rd September and 3rd December 2021, containing five episodes each.

The Character Berlin
Berlin is undoubtedly a charming personality; however, he is violent and has been at loggerheads with other members in Tokyo and Nairobi a lot many times. He is also the elder brother of Sergo (The professor) and is the second-in-command for the heist. Despite being repulsive at times, he gradually manages to win over the viewers and fans with his mind-blowing leadership qualities and his endeavors to keep the gang together.
Later in the story, we also get to know that Berlin is terminally ill. He also puts himself in the line of fire to shade and protect the other gang members from the police at the end of the first heist. He dies towards the end of season two; however, given Berlin’s popularity, the filmmakers brought him back through the inculcation of flashbacks as the mastermind of the Bank of Spain’s second and ongoing theft.
His love story and marriage to Tatiana, and the gradual introduction of his son Rafael, in the show, later on, piqued the interest of the audience and hence, in turn, encouraged Netflix to show a green light to the spin-off on the character. It would be interesting to watch how they get ahead with this as Berlin had died earlier, we will get to know more about this as time passes and we get more and more announcements, but it is assumed that given the series’ popularity and the status that it holds, it will be spectacular again.
