Lupin Is Back: Netflix Just Confirmed Part 4 — With New Twists Already in Motion

The gentleman thief is back.

Netflix has officially begun production on Part 4 of Lupin, the internationally acclaimed French series starring Omar Sy as Assane Diop, a modern-day master of disguise inspired by the legendary literary figure Arsène Lupin.

Building on the success of its first three parts, Lupin returns with fresh intrigue, new twists, and a deepened sense of ambition that aims to elevate the series even further.

One of Netflix’s Most Successful Non-English Originals

Since its debut, Lupin has become a true global phenomenon. The show made history as one of the most-watched non-English series on Netflix, with Parts 1, 2, and 3 ranking among the top 10 most viewed international titles of all time, claiming the third, sixth, and tenth positions, respectively.

Blending high-stakes drama with suspense, social commentary, and a charismatic lead, Lupin has captivated audiences in France and worldwide, earning its place as a cornerstone of Netflix’s international slate.

A Parisian Playground for Mystery and Style

Freely inspired by Maurice Leblanc’s creation of Arsène Lupin, the series reimagines the character through the lens of Assane Diop, a man driven by justice, vengeance, and intelligence, whose every move keeps viewers guessing. Set against the atmospheric streets of Paris, Lupin seamlessly merges classic literature with contemporary storytelling.
