Lupin Part 4 arrives on Netflix on Friday 23 October 2026, with all eight episodes available at once. Omar Sy returns as Assane Diop, the gentleman thief inspired by Maurice Leblanc’s Arsène Lupin. Netflix Tudum published the date with a trailer in mid-September 2026; Deadline confirmed the October 23 premiere and later trailer drop. Four years after Part 3, Assane begins Part 4 still in prison — until a mysterious “Lupin” announcement triggers simultaneous museum heists that force him back into the costume.
Release date, format and where to watch
Release: Friday 23 October 2026
Platform: Netflix (global)
Episodes: 8 × ~45 minutes, dropped together
Language: French-language series; Netflix offers subtitles and dubs by territory
Parts 1–3 remain on the service for catch-up. Search spikes for “Lupin Part 4 release date”, “Lupin saison 4” and “Omar Sy Lupin” typically climb in the two weeks before a Netflix French original drops.
Plot setup (no deeper spoilers)
Tudum’s official synopsis: Assane wants to serve his sentence and keep a promise to his son to meet family in Senegal. A message signed “Lupin” then announces simultaneous museum robberies. The thefts succeed despite heavy security. Assane insists he is innocent, but evidence — including camera footage placing him at a museum during a robbery that seriously injures Captain Belkacem — points at him. To clear his name and unmask the copycat, he must escape and become Lupin again.

Returning and featured names listed by Netflix Tudum include:

Why Part 4 ranks as ADVANCE now
Lupin is one of Netflix’s most-watched non-English titles. Publishing twelve days out puts a dates-and-cast explainer in the index before the trailer-driven spike peaks. The piece stays distinct from other October Netflix ADVANCEs already live on Sunday Profile — including *The Diplomat* Season 4 (15 Oct) — by focusing on a French-language heist franchise rather than a US political drama.

Lupin Part 4 deepens the streamer side of Film releases without twinning those festival guides.
People also ask: how many episodes is Lupin Part 4?
Eight episodes, released together on 23 October 2026, according to Netflix Tudum.
Quick recap: where Part 3 left Assane
Part 3 ends with Assane behind bars after a run that included the Black Pearl theft, a faked death and a decision to sacrifice his freedom for his family’s safety. Tudum’s own recap stresses that he turned himself in so Claire, Raoul, his mother and Benjamin could live quietly. Part 4 opens on that bargain collapsing under a copycat’s museum campaign — the narrative engine for the eight new episodes.
International audiences who binged Parts 1–3 in lockdown-era waves still treat Lupin as appointment television when a new part lands. Publishing an English-language dates-and-cast hub twelve days early captures both US/UK Netflix search and French “Lupin partie 4” demand without inventing spoilers beyond Netflix’s own synopsis.
