Where Did We Leave Assane Diop?
Having faked his death, Assane spent most of Part 3 living incognito, while pulling off a series of high-stakes thefts in a bid to secure a safe and quiet life for his wife, son, mother and best friend, before concluding that the only way was to sacrifice himself, and turning himself into the police.
Part 3 ended with Assane making the difficult choice to surrender to police in order to protect his wife, son, mother and closest friend, leaving him behind bars for the first time in the show’s history. Netflix has now released the first look at Part 4, and the imagery makes clear that Assane’s imprisonment is about to take a far stranger turn than fans might expect.
