Television's most-loved "thief" is returning for a fourth round. Netflix has officially announced the premiere date of "Lupin: Part 4". Omar Sy returns as Assane Diop, the classic gentleman thief based on Maurice Leblanc's iconic creation, Arsène Lupin. Part 4 will commence streaming on Netflix on October 23.
Funnily enough, the month and date are the same as the release month and year of Part 3, which was released in October 2023 (on the 5th). The gap between Lupin Part 3 and Part 4 is exactly three years, marking the longest wait between seasons in the show's history. Part 1 and Part 2 both premiered in 2021, and Part 3 arrived after a two-year gap in 2023.
The extended gap was reportedly a deliberate choice by Netflix, Gaumont, and Carrousel Studios to invest the necessary time to enhance the show's creative scale. According to Netflix Tudum and industry reports, the team behind the new season began production in May 2025, allowing them roughly a year and a half for filming and post-production. Additionally, Part 4 will be the longest instalment yet, consisting of eight episodes compared to Part 3's seven.
Expressing his delight at his return in an official statement, Omar Sy said, “I often say that Lupin is an extraordinary plaything. I find great joy in it every time.”
Here's the official logline from Netflix Tudum: "In Part 3, we see Assane (Sy) steal the Black Pearl, earn the support of the French public, fake his own death, and save his estranged mother’s life. That’s all before realising the only way he can ensure a safe and quiet life for his wife, son, mother and best friend is to sacrifice himself, and he turns himself in to the police. Part 3 ends with Assane behind bars at last — we can only hope that imprisonment won’t last long. At least he has a full set of Arsène Lupin books to keep him company in his prison cell."
Created by George Kay and François Uzan, the show has French filmmaker Louis Leterrier serving as showrunner alongside Omar Sy.
