Starring Omar Sy · Part 4 · eight episodes · Netflix
Four years after he gave himself up, Assane Diop (Omar Sy) is close to the end of his sentence and hopes to join his family in Senegal. Then burglaries signed "Lupin" start hitting Paris while he is still behind bars. Someone is borrowing his name and his methods, and the police have an obvious suspect. To unmask the imitator he has to pick up the role he wanted to put down. That is the first act, and all this review will say about the story. Ludivine Sagnier returns as Claire. All eight episodes arrived together on 23 October 2026.
The reviews I drew on are warm, and they agree on two things. The first is Sy. Decider says the show "continues to be propelled" by his charm, and FandomWire finds his warmth keeps Assane's cleverness from becoming tiresome. The second is the heists. Critics describe them as bigger and more fun this time, and one compares the pace to the first part. Several like the new angle: Assane is no longer the one planning the trick but the one working out how someone else's trick was done, which gives the family drama something to push against.
Lupin eschews exposition and offers up Houdini-style thrills right from the start.

The Guardian also picks up the social edge: the prejudice that once let Assane hide in plain sight now works against him.
The complaints are about scale and shortcuts. FandomWire says the technology sometimes does too much of the plotting, and that the appetite for spectacle can crowd out the cleverness that made the show. A reviewer for Absolute Geek, as summarised by L'Éclaireur, thinks a few scenes tip into melodrama, and the same roundup notes the Guardian's point that the old pro called back for a last job is a cliché. Nobody I read calls the season a failure; the split is between "great fun" and "great fun, if a little larger than it needs to be".

Part 4 is on Netflix, all eight episodes, released on 23 October 2026. Availability varies by country.
This is a critical reading built from published reviews and the show's own materials, not a first-hand viewing. Some outlets would not load for me, so for the Guardian, IGN, Collider, Decider and Screen Rant I relied on the excerpts and scores listed by Metacritic (Metascore 78 from five reviews, all positive) and Rotten Tomatoes. Reviews and coverage drawn on: The Guardian, Decider, IGN, Collider, FandomWire, L'Éclaireur's critics roundup and The Week.
