Lupin, the French series hit on Netflix starring Omar Sy, is officially making a comeback with a fourth season expected in the fall of 2026. Created by George Kay in collaboration with François Uzan and loosely inspired by Arsène Lupin, the detective series has become one of Netflix’s biggest international successes since 2021. After three seasons aired between 2021 and 2023, the platform confirms that the adventures of Assane Diop will continue.
Since its debut, the series has stood out with its blend of thriller, family drama, and contemporary heist storytelling, all while reimagining the myth of the gentleman thief in a fresh, modern setting. With part 4, Netflix aims to continue expanding a universe that’s already become a staple in its global lineup.
The third installment, released on October 5, 2023, marked the return of Assane Diop after a lengthy hiatus, largely due to production setbacks—including a heist that took place on set in February 2022. In contrast, parts 1 and 2 had been aired just a few months apart in 2021.
Twenty-five years ago, Assane Diop's world is shattered when his father dies after being wrongfully accused of a crime he didn't commit. Haunted by this injustice, Assane draws strength from the adventures of his childhood hero, Arsène Lupin, to craft a calculated and meticulous plan for revenge.
Across the seasons, the character played by Omar Sy moves between dazzling feats, cunning illusions, and personal dilemmas, especially in his relationships with his son and those close to him. Each chapter delves into a new balance of flight, deception, and the search for redemption, set against the backdrop of modern-day Paris.
Lupin is produced by Gaumont with participation from Carrousel Studios, as part of Netflix’s strategy to develop locally rooted franchises with global appeal. From its debut in January 2021, the series quickly became one of the most-watched non-English programs on the platform.
Part 4, scheduled for release in fall 2026, underscores the franchise’s commitment to long-term success. Omar Sy returns as the iconic lead and also takes on creative responsibilities, serving as co-showrunner alongside Louis Leterrier. The screenplay is crafted by Mathilde Arnaud, Jean-Yves Arnaud, Florent Meyer, Tigran Rosine, and Pennda Ba, while the direction team includes Edouard Salier, Everardo Gout, and Hugo Gélin.
The main cast features Omar Sy, Ludivine Sagnier, Antoine Gouy, Soufiane Guerrab, Shirine Boutella, along with newcomers Théo Christine and Laïka Blanc-Francard, adding fresh faces to a lineup that’s already familiar to audiences.
Blending elements of a detective series and psychological drama, Lupin appeals to a broad audience that loves heist stories, mind games, and morally complex characters. Its smooth direction, fast-paced storytelling, and Parisian setting position it alongside popular contemporary thrillers, while proudly showcasing a distinctly French identity.
