Lupin Part 4 Returns to Netflix This Fall — And It's a Love Letter to Every Mystery Fan

Assane Diop's Greatest Heist Yet Is Almost Here

If you've been missing Omar Sy's legendary thief-in-a-tuxedo since the end of Lupin: Part 3, your wait is nearly over. Netflix just confirmed that Lupin Part 4 will hit the platform this fall 2026, and early footage suggests it might be the series' boldest installment yet.

The premise? Assane finds himself trapped by a dangerous copycat — someone who studied his every move through the years and decided to turn his own playbook against him. For fans who thought they'd seen everything Assane could pull off, this twist adds a genuinely unsettling layer to a show already built on psychological cat-and-mouse games.

Why This Matters Beyond Just Another Return

Lupin — adapted from Maurice Leblanc's classic Arsène Lupin novels — became Netflix's highest-rated French-language series when it debuted back in 2021. Part 3 wrapped up what many assumed was a natural conclusion, making the decision to bring Assane back feel like Studio 38 (the production powerhouse behind the series) couldn't resist extending one of their crown jewels.

With creators like George Périer and director Joachim Lafosse returning, the creative team clearly isn't treating this as filler. The latest teaser — which leaked online in mid-September — shows darker lighting, tighter pacing, and what looks like some seriously ambitious set pieces involving Parisian rooftops and an abandoned metro tunnel.

What Else To Watch While You Wait

The October streaming calendar is stacked, and if Lupin keeps you up at night, here are three alternatives:

• Monster Season 4 — Ryan Murphy's latest anthology just took Netflix's top spot despite critics giving it mixed reviews. The Lizzie Borden chapter starring Ella Beatty was controversial but undeniably watched.
• Ben Affleck's Animals — dropping on Netflix in October, this film marks Affleck's first return to directing since "The Town." Early buzz describes it as a slow-burn crime drama set in the Texas oil country.
• Resident Evil (2026) — Zach Cregger's reboot shattered franchise records with a $60 million domestic opening. If you need something genuinely terrifying to fill the void until Lupin arrives, this is it.

All three prove that October 2026 is shaping up to be a massive month for binge-worthy content — whether it's a master thief returning to Paris or a Hollywood heavyweight reclaiming his seat in the director's chair.

When exactly does Lupin Part 4 drop? That date hasn't been officially announced yet, but based on previous release patterns (Part 1 landed January 2021, Part 2 in June 2021, Part 3 in May 2023), expect late October or early November. Set your reminders.
