The fifth and final season of ‘Money Heist’ is here– and so are fan theories about the fate of its different characters. Ever since its September 3 debut, the first part of the final season of the Netflix crime drama has lived up to its reputation of keeping fans guessing about the plot. For instance, the cliffhanger ending to the first part of the final season has raised many questions over the apparent death of one of the central characters ‘Tokyo’. Going by the buzz on social media, it seems the death of another popular character Berlin, played by Pedro Alonso, is also in question as Money Heist fans are anticipating his return in the final season.

Berlin has returned in flashbacks in Money Heist third and fourth seasons after sacrificing his life to help others escape the Royal Mint of Spain after their first heist in season two.

Pedro’s advice to fans: be careful what you wish for. “Careful! Careful (for) what you ask! I’m not saying anything more. Careful with what you ask because at times, one has to eat one’s words later. That Berlin isn’t dead, is something that’s still echoing around here, just that I can’t reveal anything,” he said when asked by Netflix India to answer “some burning questions from India.”

In the Instagram video, Pedro also addressed other fan theories such as “Getting caught was the Professor’s plan,” “Sierra joins the gang to take down the police as revenge,” “Everyone dies and only Tokyo lives as she’s narrating the story,” and “Sierra goes into labour and the Professor helps deliver the baby.”

Money Heist writer Javier Gómez Santander has underlined why fans could be so emotional about Berlin’s death in the second season. “Even characters with such a negative charge like Berlin end up being somewhat redeemed and people have a brutal affection for them. So we get him back for this season. How were we going to give it up?” Spanish publication El Mundo quoted him as saying, according to Express UK.

“If we had known that there would be more seasons, we would have thought hard about killing Berlin. It is that he died a lot. There is no way to revive him,” Santander added.
