Lupin is a French mystery thriller television series created by George Kay and François Uzan. It premiered on Netflix on 8 January 2021, when the first set of five episodes were released. Another five aired on 11 June 2021.[2] The series was renewed for a third instalment,[3] which debuted on 5 October 2023.[4]

The show stars Omar Sy in the role of Assane Diop, a man who is inspired by the adventures of master thief Arsène Lupin, a character created by Maurice Leblanc in the early 1900s.[5] The first part, consisting of five episodes, is subtitled Dans l'ombre d'Arsène ("in the shadow of Arsène"), referring to the primary character's inspiration.[6][7] The series was watched by 76 million households during its first month, becoming the most-watched non-English series on Netflix at the time.[8][9]
