When Maurice Leblanc created the iconic gentleman thief, Arsène Lupin, in the early 1900s, little did he know that more than a century later, a French Netflix series inspired by this character would take the world by storm. Following Assane Diop, who embodies the spirit of Lupin, the show unravels the tale of a man seeking justice against those who falsely implicated his father in a theft.
From Season 1 to 3: A Quick Recap
Netflix’s “Lupin” gives us a roller-coaster ride, highlighting Assane’s drive for vengeance against the wealthy Pellegrini family, who accused his father of stealing a priceless diamond necklace. The trauma and shame led his father to an untimely demise, pushing Assane on this quest. By the end of the third season, launched on October 5, 2023, Assane had returned to Paris after two years on the run. Attempting to have his family leave France with him, he simultaneously masterminds a daring heist of the famed Black Pearl, all while his true identity is on the brink of being exposed.
Whispers of a Fourth Season
While the clamour for a fourth season grows among fans, Netflix remains silent.
However, given the show’s roaring success, it’s highly plausible that it might be renewed. The unpredictable release pattern – a six-month gap between seasons one and two, followed by a two-year wait for season three – leaves us guessing. If patterns are to be believed, Assane’s return might be in 2024 or 2025.
What Awaits in Season 4?
Without an official word, it’s all speculation. But one thing is certain: there’s much more to Assane’s story. The fourth season could delve deeper into his pursuit of justice, intertwined with personal dilemmas and professional hurdles. After the events of season three, Assane’s identity and connections are more public than ever, setting the stage for even more intense confrontations.
