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. Its third instalment debuted on 5 October 2023. The series has been renewed for a fourth part, which is currently in production.
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. 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. The series was watched by 76 million households during its first month, becoming the most-watched non-English series on Netflix at the time.
Lupin debuted to critical acclaim, with Sy's performance in the leading role singled out for particular praise. It has received several accolades, winning a Critics' Choice Award for Best Foreign Language Series and being nominated for Best Drama Series at the International Emmy Awards and the Golden Globe Awards.
