Lupin Netflix part 2

That may raise a few eyebrows but just days after it started streaming on the giant OTT platform, the series has quickly climbed up the top 10 chart. The 10-episode show has two parts. Part one ends in a cliffhanger situation where Assane’s son Raoul is kidnapped by the man working for Hubert.

Everything is unsolved, Assane is yet to knock his enemy down. That’s why one of the most asked about is around Lupin Netflix part 2. Here is everything we have known so far.

The second installment of the show is likely to release soon even though Netflix is yet to make any official announcement. However, on the series’ page, you will see they wrote “Part 1.” That might hint at more parts will be produced in the future.

The makers haven't announced the Lupin Netflix release date for part 2 yet but hopefully, part 2 will hit the OTT platform later this year. Speculations are rife that the next part could premiere around April or July based on the releases of other hot series on Netflix.

Lupin Cast

Omar Sy

The series will be less successful if it lacks Omar Sy who portrays the role of Assane Diop successfully. The 42-year-old French actor has appeared in several Hollywood blockbusters including, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Transformers: The Last Knight, and Jurassic World.

However, he truly shot to fame after the role of Assane Diop in Lupin Netflix. In fact, his parents are also immigrants from Africa. His dad worked in a factory while his mom was a house-cleanser. Sy’s background seems to match with Assane Diop and that’s why he can display his character’s spirit properly.

Hervé Pierre
