What is the Lupin season 3 release date? The French thriller series is coming back to Netflix, and the wait it nearly over.
Lupin follows gentleman thief Omar Sy as Assane Diop on a mission to avenge his father’s death against the beautiful backdrop of Paris. Inspired by Arsène Lupin’s adventures – hence the name – Lupin is one of the best TV series on Netflix, and the man himself is embroiled in a series of adventures centered around the wealthy family that wronged his own.
As we approach the Lupin season 3 release date, it’s time to take a look at everything there is to know about Lupin’s next puzzling outing, including cast, plot and, of course, release date speculation.
Lupin season 3 release date
Thursday, October 5, 2023 is when Lupin season 3 is scheduled to release. It might have been a long wait, but this means that we’re no less than a month away.
It’s exciting news for fans, providing something to look forward to after a summer of busy releases of new movies and TV series.
What will happen in Lupin season 3?
Seasons 1 and 2 brought viewers a spectacular finale that saw Lupin finally uncover the truth behind Hubert Pelligrini’s wrongdoings and saw him arrested alongside corrupt police commissioner Gabriel Dumont.
In doing so, he cleared his late father’s name. As it’s been the primary storyline for Lupin up to this point, it leaves the door open for new plots to take center stage. With a whole host of inspiration to draw from with the Arsène Lupin novels, there’s a lot of adventure yet to be had.
According to an interview with EW, Omar Sy says Lupin’s revenge may not be over for this gentleman thief just yet, “He’s done most of the work, but it’s not completely finished. When episode 10 finished, there’s still some questions that we didn’t have answered.”
And whilst Assane demonstrated restraint when handing Pelligrini over to the police after years of pursuing his revenge, it appears Assane’s calmer character will return in season 3, “So there is no violence from Assane, he does what he does, but without the violence. One of the rules of Lupin is he’s never violent, never killed anyone.”
Lupin season 3 cast speculation
What would Lupin be without Omar Sy? Come rain or sunshine; you know that he will reprise his role.
And, when it comes to casting, he’ll have his canine costar, J’accuse, by his side. Along with Sy and J’accuse, fans can also look forward to seeing the majority of the main cast return for season 3.
The Lupin season 3 cast list:
- Omar Sy as Assane Diop
- Ludivine Sagnier as Claire
- Etan Simon as Raoul
- Fargass Assandé as Babakar
- Antoine Gouy as Benjamin Fere
- Soufiane Guerrab as Detective Youssef Guedira
- Shirine Boutella as Lt. Sofia Belkacem
- Vincent Londez as Capitaine Romain Laugier
As mentioned, the future of Monsieur Hubert Pellegrini (Hervé Pierre) and Commissioner Gabriel Dumont (Vincent Garanger) hangs in the balance as they were seen handcuffed in the back of a police car in the final episode of season 2.
In terms of new actors joining the cast, showrunner George Kay told Variety that viewers can expect brand-new characters and more thrilling complications when season 3 comes. Who these new people are, we’ll have to wait and see.
