Last week’s Louvre heist, €88 million worth of jewels gone in minutes, reminded us why heist stories captivate audiences. They are a blend of tension, intellect, and style: a world in which every move counts, every second is choreographed, and every character has a role that feels indispensable.

Netflix is taking the “Squid Game” phenomenon beyond the screen with the introduction of an official video game. This addition to their 2024 lineup, including highly anticipated titles like “Sonic Mania Plus” and “Money Heist”, was announced by Vice President Mike Verdu of Netflix Games, on the Netflix blog. Building on the success of the 2021 hit “Squid Game”, the creators emphasised that the Squid Game universe is not merely a one-time success but an ongoing expansion. It seems their foresight was spot on.

The much-awaited moment has arrived for “Money Heist” enthusiasts, with the release of the inaugural trailer of the prequel spin-off series, "Berlin". Promising a narrative revolving around Pedro Alonso's cherished character, Andres de Fonollosa, a trusted friend and associate of the Professor, the show is set to captivate audiences.
