Netflix’s Hit Crime Thriller Lupin Finally Returns After Three Years — and Viewers Are Cancelling Plans to Binge All Eight Episodes

After a three-year wait, Netflix’s acclaimed French crime thriller Lupin has finally returned for its fourth installment, and viewers are already calling it one of the best shows on the streaming platform.

Omar Sy reprises his celebrated role as Assane Diop, the charismatic gentleman thief whose elaborate disguises, daring heists and extraordinary intelligence have made the series an international success.

With eight new episodes available to stream, the latest chapter introduces a dangerous mystery that threatens to destroy everything Assane has worked to protect.

What Happens in Lupin Part 4?

The new season picks up several years after the events of Part 3, with Assane still behind bars.

Having spent years living as a modern-day version of the fictional gentleman thief Arsène Lupin, Assane is finally ready to abandon his criminal identity.

His priority is to complete his prison sentence and fulfill a promise to his son: reuniting with their family in Senegal.

However, his plans are thrown into chaos when a mysterious announcement appears under the name Lupin, warning that several museums will be targeted in coordinated robberies.

Despite heightened security, the elaborate heists go ahead exactly as threatened.

Assane insists he has nothing to do with the crimes, but the evidence appears devastating.

Security footage seemingly places him inside one of the museums during a robbery that leaves Captain Sofia Belkacem seriously injured.

Suddenly, the man who wants nothing more than to leave his past behind becomes the prime suspect in a new criminal conspiracy.

To clear his name and identify the mysterious copycat, Assane must escape prison and return to the dangerous world he thought he had abandoned.

Viewers Call Lupin Season 4 a Masterpiece

The new episodes have already sparked enthusiastic reactions across social media, with viewers praising the suspense and unexpected twists.

One person wrote: “#Lupin is the best show on Netflix. Only 2 episodes into season 4 and I am absolutely gripped.”

Another admitted that the series was compelling enough to change their weekend plans.

“This was too good. It was definitely worth ditching Friday night plans for,” they shared.

A third viewer declared: “Currently watching OMG am hooked.”

Others have described the new installment as a “masterpiece,” suggesting that the lengthy wait has done little to diminish enthusiasm for the French thriller.

Who Stars in Lupin Season 4?

Omar Sy returns as Assane Diop, leading a cast of familiar faces and new additions.

Ludivine Sagnier reprises her role as Claire Laurent, while Antoine Gouy returns as Assane’s trusted friend Benjamin Férel.

Soufiane Guerrab is back as detective Youssef Guédira, alongside Shirine Boutella as Sofia Belkacem.

The fourth installment also features Théo Christine and Laïka Blanc-Francard.

Inspired by Maurice Leblanc’s legendary fictional thief Arsène Lupin, the Netflix series has built its reputation on ingenious schemes, emotional storytelling and unpredictable confrontations.

With Assane now facing an enemy seemingly capable of copying his every move, Part 4 promises another high-stakes battle of wits.
