Lupin Part 4 Story: Assane Hunts the Copycat Who Stole His Identity

Spoiler notice: This article mentions the end of Part 3 and the official Part 4 premise. It does not reveal the copycat’s identity or the new season’s ending.

Assane Diop wants the name Lupin to belong to his past. Someone else has decided to use it.

Four years after the events of Part 3, Assane remains in prison. He intends to finish his sentence and reunite with his family in Senegal. Then an announcement signed “Lupin” promises simultaneous museum robberies.

The thefts go ahead, and evidence appears to place Assane at one of them. Clearing his name requires him to confront a criminal who has turned his own reputation against him. Omar Sy returns as Assane, and all eight episodes of Part 4 became available on Netflix on 23 October 2026.

The premise gives his attempted retirement a difficult complication. A name that once helped him control a situation now allows somebody else to control what people believe about him.

The series has also made a strong start in Netflix’s weekly rankings. In its report published on 27 October, Netflix recorded 6.4 million views for Part 4 during 19–25 October, placing it first on the global non-English television chart.

Because the episodes arrived on Friday, those figures cover its first three days within that reporting week. They are not a full seven-day opening total.

Netflix calculates “views” by dividing total hours watched by the season’s runtime. The 6.4 million figure therefore does not mean 6.4 million distinct people completed every episode. It is a viewing measure rather than a unique-audience count.

The category matters too. First place on the global non-English TV list does not establish first place across every Netflix category or specifically in Nigeria.

Part 1 also returned to the same chart at No. 10 with 2.1 million views. That is consistent with renewed interest in the earlier story, although the figures cannot tell us how much came from newcomers and how much from returning fans.

For viewers, the mystery remains the draw: Assane must reclaim a name he had hoped to leave behind. The opening figures show substantial viewing activity; whether the new episodes satisfy is a separate question for a review based on watching them.
