Lupin season 4 goes on floors

Netflix’s globe-trotting gentleman thief is back—Lupin has officially begun production on its highly anticipated fourth season in Paris.

The upcoming instalment will consist of eight 45-minute episodes, with Omar Sy reprising his fan-favourite role as Assane Diop. The new season promises even more daring heists and emotional stakes, with Sy once again stepping into the role of showrunner alongside Louis Leterrier.

“I often say that Lupin is an extraordinary plaything. I find great joy in it every time,” said Sy in a statement. “Together with Netflix, Carrousel, and Gaumont, we’ve invested the time needed to raise our ambitions and deliver even more surprises and enjoyment, both for us and the audience.”

Season 4 continues the creative collaboration between series creator George Kay and François Uzan, with writers Marie Roussin, Florent Meyer, Tigran Rosine, Mathilde Arnaud, Jean-Yves Arnaud, and Pennda Ba contributing to the storyline. Episodes will be directed by Edouard Salier, Everardo Gout, and Hugo Gélin.

The ensemble cast includes returning stars Ludivine Sagnier, Antoine Gouy, Soufiane Guerrab, Shirine Boutella, Théo Christine, and Laïka Blanc-Francard.

Lupin has cemented its place in streaming history, with Part 1 and Part 2 ranking among Netflix’s most-watched non-English-language series of all time. The show’s debut season amassed 99.5 million views in its first 91 days—surpassing even Stranger Things 3 and The Night Agent.

No premiere date for Lupin season 4 has been announced yet.
