Lupin Season 4 Turns Netflix's Gentleman Thief Into a Worldwide Hit

Netflix's French crime thriller Lupin is doing global numbers again. Season 4 landed on October 23, 2026, and the show is currently sitting in the Top 10 in dozens of regions around the world, according to Collider — mostly inside the Top 5. The series stars Omar Sy as Assane Diop, a gentleman thief and master of disguise who models himself on the fictional Arsène Lupin, dreamed up by French writer Maurice Leblanc back in 1905.

Season 4 opens after a time jump with Assane still locked up, while a woman keeps pinning thefts on him. He eventually teams with the police to track down whoever is actually behind the crimes. The season's real engine, though, is a heist: Assane and his daughter Adèle Kapoor, played by Laïka Blanc-Francard, join forces to chase down a much bigger treasure.

The rollout followed Netflix's usual slow-burn pattern for the show. Part 4 arrived three years and 18 days after Part 3 premiered on October 5, 2023. A fifth season hasn't been greenlit yet, and Collider notes that if Netflix renews it, the wait would likely stretch to 2028.

There's plenty of story left to tell. The season ends on a major cliffhanger: Assane's son Raoul, played by Etan Simon, turns on his father, fed up with his long absences and jealous of the newly revealed Adèle. Raoul gets the treasure and walks away coldly, leaving Assane's future wide open.

Lupin has filled the void Money Heist left when it wrapped in 2021 — something its own spinoff Berlin couldn't manage with a single character carrying the load. Sy's version keeps the crew-energy and meticulous heist planning alive through one man with a lot of disguises. The season is streaming now on Netflix.
