The charismatic gentleman thief Assane Diop is once again captivating audiences worldwide. The new installment of Netflix's hit series Lupin, identified by French entertainment site Allocine as its fourth season, has garnered an impressive 6.4 million views within just three days of its launch on October 23rd.

This robust performance positions Lupin as the most-watched series in France and the most-viewed French series globally on Netflix during its opening week. Allocine highlights that this latest season also marks the best launch of the year for an international Netflix series that premiered on a Friday, underscoring its continued appeal.

While the previous season (which Netflix officially designated as Part 2) registered a higher 11.2 million views, that figure was accumulated over four days. The current season's 6.4 million views in three days indicates sustained strong viewership, rather than a decline. For comparison, Elite Season 6, another popular international Netflix series, logged 5.4 million views in its first three days, a benchmark that Lupin comfortably surpassed.

Since its debut in 2021, Lupin has consistently been a flagship French production for Netflix, captivating audiences with its modern reinterpretation of Maurice Leblanc's classic character. The series' enduring success is largely attributed to the compelling performance of its lead, Omar Sy, whose portrayal of Assane Diop has resonated with viewers across various cultures.
