Lupin creator George Kay left things with Assane and his ex Claire (Ludivine Sagnier) in a seaside town when their son, Raoul (Etan Simon), was seemingly abducted by one of Hubert’s henchmen. It became a race to see whether Assane would get to Pellegrini before the Paris police, led by bought-and-paid-for commissioner Dumont (Vincent Garanger), could catch Assane. In the series premiere, Assane executed a dazzling jewel heist at the Louvre, part of a Count of Monte Cristo-esque revenge plot against the nefarious Hubert Pellegrini (Hervé Pierre), the powerful tycoon who deceitfully got Assane’s father sent to prison, where he killed himself.

Sy is also partnering again with his “Lupin” helmer Leterrier on his upcoming action comedy film “Tour de Force,” co-starring Laurent Lafitte and launching on Netflix globally in 2022. “We look forward to working together with Omar and his team as he grows as a producer and brings more unique stories and voices to Netflix,” said Mareschi, who has always worked closely with filmmakers through her tenure at Kinology and at EuropaCorp before that. ![]() Gaelle Mareschi, a well-respected film veteran who previously worked at Kinology (“Annette”) and joined Netflix over a year ago as director of international original film, said the streamer was “excited to now expand our partnership further to bring his creative vision to our global audiences” after working closely with him for a number of years.
