Netflix’s hit French heist series “Lupin” returns for a fourth season, with Omar Sy—who stars as gentleman thief Assane Diop—taking on expanded creative control. After previous installments, Sy has moved into a co-showrunner role alongside Louis Leterrier, as the show marks its comeback roughly three years after earlier episodes. The series is produced by Gaumont and developed in collaboration with Sy’s Carrousel Studios.
Outlets describe the new run as “bigger and bolder,” but they frame the season’s appeal differently. Variety highlights Sy’s role in shaping the creative direction and points to his other project, “Black Dumas,” as likely to prompt political debate in France. The Hollywood Reporter focuses on Sy’s return and production involvement, emphasizing the scale-up of Season 4. France 24 includes “Lupin” among that month’s must-watch TV, noting that the storyline involves a new twist in which someone appears to be stealing “in his name.”
