When Money Heist ended in 2021, it left a gaping hole in the hearts of heist-thriller fans. The show's blend of meticulous planning, high-stakes tension, and a charismatic mastermind was hard to replicate. Berlin tried, but it never quite captured the same magic. Now, another Netflix original has stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the park: Lupin, starring the magnetic Omar Sy.
Season 4 of Lupin dropped on October 23, 2026, and it has quickly become a global phenomenon. The series is currently sitting in the Top 10—often in the Top 5—across dozens of countries, proving that audiences still have an insatiable appetite for clever thieves and elaborate capers. It's the kind of success that Berlin could only dream of, and it's a testament to the enduring appeal of Assane Diop.
For those unfamiliar, Lupin follows Assane Diop (Omar Sy), a modern-day gentleman thief who draws inspiration from the classic French literary character Arsène Lupin, created by Maurice Leblanc in 1905. Assane isn't Lupin himself, but he embodies the spirit of the master of disguise, using wit, charm, and impeccable style to pull off audacious heists while evading capture.
Season 4 picks up after a time jump, with Assane still behind bars and a mysterious woman framing him for thefts he didn't commit. He eventually teams up with the police to uncover the real culprit, but the season's larger arc is far more personal. Assane and his newly discovered daughter, Adèle Kapoor (played by Laïka Blanc-Francard), join forces to hunt down a legendary treasure—a quest that tests their bond and pushes Assane to his limits.
The father-daughter dynamic adds a fresh emotional layer to the series, and it's paying off with viewers. The chemistry between Sy and Blanc-Francard is palpable, and their shared mission gives the heist genre a heartfelt twist. It's no wonder the show is resonating with audiences worldwide, much like other Netflix hits this November.
But the season doesn't end on a happy note. A major cliffhanger leaves Assane's future in jeopardy. His son, Raoul (Etan Simon), who has long resented his father's absences and felt overshadowed by Adèle's arrival, turns against him. After the treasure is secured, Raoul coldly abandons Assane, leaving viewers desperate for answers.
So, will there be a Lupin Season 5? Netflix hasn't officially renewed the series yet, but the cliffhanger certainly sets the stage. If history is any guide, fans might have to wait a while—Part 3 premiered on October 5, 2023, and Part 4 arrived three years and 18 days later. That would put a potential Season 5 in 2028, but given the show's current popularity, Netflix might fast-track it.
In the meantime, Lupin Season 4 is streaming now on Netflix, and it's the perfect binge for anyone craving a smart, stylish thriller. If you're looking for more gripping content, check out A Couple of Lies or revisit Peaky Blinders for another dose of criminal intrigue.
