The wait is finally over for one of Netflix’s biggest global hits. After a three-year hiatus, France’s most-wanted thief is making his grand return. Netflix has just announced that Lupin Part 4 will premiere globally on October 23rd, bringing us back into the thrilling world of the gentleman thief. Here’s everything you need to know about the OTT release date, cast, plot, episode count, and more.

Lupin Part 4 OTT Release Date — When and Where to Watch

Netflix has confirmed that Lupin Part 4 will premiere globally on October 23, bringing Omar Sy back as gentleman thief Assane Diop for eight new episodes. As a Netflix Original, all episodes will drop at once on the platform worldwide, available to stream for all subscribers.

The return marks a significant milestone in the show’s release history. This marks Netflix’s longest gap between installments since releasing Parts 1 and 2 in 2021 and Part 3 in 2023. The gap between Lupin Part 3 and Part 4 is exactly three years, marking the longest wait between seasons in the show’s history.

OTT Release Details at a Glance

What the Announcement Revealed

The release date came with celebratory new artwork. The formal announcement came through Netflix Tudum and the platform’s official social channels. Netflix released a new poster alongside the news. While the poster reveals little about the story, it hints at the return of the sleek, high-stakes tension that has defined the series since its debut.

Star Omar Sy expressed his joy at returning to the role. “I often say that Lupin is an extraordinary plaything,” Sy told Netflix. He added, “I find great joy in it every time.”

Lupin Part 4 Plot — Where We Left Off

Part 4 picks up after a dramatic, self-sacrificing cliffhanger. In Part 3, we see Assane (Sy) steal the Black Pearl, earn the support of the French public, fake his own death, and save his estranged mother’s life. That’s all before realizing the only way he can ensure a safe and quiet life for his wife, son, mother and best friend is to sacrifice himself, and he turns himself into the police.

The new chapter promises to raise the stakes. Part 3 ended on a cliffhanger in October 2023, with Assane having spent most of the season living in hiding and pulling off a series of high-stakes thefts before ultimately turning himself in to police. Part 4 picks up from there, with the gentleman thief returning to Paris for what promises to be the most action-packed installment yet.

Full Cast — Returning Stars

Alongside Sy as Diop, the new season of Lupin will feature Ludivine Sagnier, Antoine Gouy, Soufiane Guerrab, Shirine Boutella, Théo Christine and Laïka Blanc-Francard.

Behind the Camera — The Creative Team

The fourth installment brings a refreshed creative lineup. Behind the camera, creator George Kay continues alongside François Uzan, with writing credits shared by Mathilde Arnaud, Jean-Yves Arnaud, Tigran Rosine, and Florent Meyer. Directing duties are split between Edouard Salier, Everardo Gout, and Hugo Gélin. The series is produced by Gaumont in collaboration with Carrousel Studios. Omar Sy and Louis Leterrier serve as showrunners.

The Biggest Season Yet

Part 4 expands the scope of the series considerably. Unlike earlier parts that followed a shorter structure, Part 4 features eight episodes, making it the most extensive chapter so far. The eight-episode fourth season will arrive around three years after the conclusion of Part 3 in October 2023.

The lengthy wait was a deliberate creative decision. The extended gap was reportedly a deliberate choice by Netflix, Gaumont, and Carrousel Studios to invest the necessary time to enhance the show’s creative scale.

Filming took place across the French capital. Production wrapped after months of filming across the French capital, with the crew shutting down several iconic Parisian streets including areas throughout the 16th arrondissement and central Paris. One of the most talked-about moments from the shoot featured Sy in full costume as Assane riding a horse through the streets of Paris in his signature long trench coat.

A Global Phenomenon — Lupin’s Record-Breaking Run

Lupin remains one of Netflix’s most successful non-English productions ever. Between 2023 and 2025, the three seasons of the show pulled in 711.9M hours watched, equating to 154.9M views. It also occupies the fifth and ninth spots on Netflix’s all-time most-watched non-English language series list.

Its debut was historic. Season one debuted in January 2021 and became the first French series to break into Netflix’s Top 10 list in the United States. Globally, it was watched by more than 70 million households worldwide.

The series has also earned critical acclaim. Lupin took home a Critics’ Choice Award for Best Foreign Language Series and earned Emmy nominations. The show also secured Golden Globe nominations for its compelling storytelling and performances.

The Story Behind the Story

At its core, Lupin is more than a heist thriller. Beyond its thrilling heists, the series tackles themes of racism and class bias against immigrants through Diop’s story. His father died in jail after authorities wrongfully accused him of a crime. The Netflix series is inspired by Arsène Lupin, the fictional French “gentleman thief” created by author Maurice Leblanc in 1905.

As for whether this is the end, the future remains open. At the time of writing, it’s unclear if part 4 will be the final season of the crime thriller.
