LUPIN
Created by George Kay and François Uzan, “Lupin” is a French mystery thriller streaming television series inspired by the adventures of master thief Arsène Lupin, a character created by Maurice Leblanc in the early 1900s, starring Omar Sy, the first part of which was released on January 2021.
Season two premiered on Friday, June 11, 2021, on Netflix.
Pursued by Hubert and his henchmen, Assane scrambles to find Raoul and wins an unlikely new ally as he draws up a grand plan to reveal Hubert’s crimes.
Season 2 of Lupin picks up where the finale of season 1, stops—with the kidnapping of Assane Diop’s (Omar Sy) son, Raoul (Etan Simon). Assane was introduced to Maurice Leblanc’s Arsène Lupin, by his father Babakar (Fargass Assandé) and in turn introduces Raoul to the gentleman thief. Immigrants from Senegal, Babakar works as a chauffeur for a business tycoon, Hubert Pellegrini (Hervé Pierre). He is accused of stealing a valuable necklace from Pellegrini and commits suicide in jail.
Inspired by Lupin, Assane is a master of disguise and a refined criminal, in the tradition of all the preternaturally intelligent, suave knaves that populate popular culture. Convinced that his father was innocent and that Pellegrini had a hand in the accusation, Assane makes it his life’s work to clear his father’s name.
