The French-language series at the center of Netflix's latest announcement is Lupin, which officially returns on October 23. The streaming giant confirmed the premiere date alongside a new poster, giving fans their first major update on the next chapter. The upcoming installment will consist of eight episodes, with Omar Sy once again leading the cast as Assane Diop.

Part 4 picks up after the dramatic ending that left Assane behind bars following his voluntary surrender to the police. However, prison may prove even more dangerous than freedom. Hubert Pellegrini, the architect of many of Assane's troubles, is now occupying a neighboring cell, setting the stage for a deeply personal confrontation.

The new season appears poised to explore betrayal from within Assane's closest circle. A mysterious message tied to Maurice Leblanc's The Cagliostro's Revenge raises questions about whether trusted figures such as Mariama, Benjamin Ferel, or Juliette Pellegrini have been manipulated into serving Pellegrini's agenda. The literary clue suggests a battle built as much on psychology as strategy.

Even from prison, Assane is unlikely to remain powerless for long. With his trademark planning already underway, the gentleman thief must uncover who betrayed him while protecting Claire and Raoul from Pellegrini's far-reaching influence. The result promises another high-stakes chapter for Netflix's most celebrated French-language phenomenon.
