Lupin was created by George Kay in collaboration with François Uzan; Marie Roussin, Florent Meyer and Tigran Rosine also participated in the formation of the series, which is inspired by Maurice Leblanc's Arsène Lupin character.
Rosine, Meyer, Mathilde Arnaud, Jean-Yves Arnaud and Pennda Ba are the series' writers; Sy and Louis Leterrier are showrunners.
'I often say that Lupin is an extraordinary plaything. I find great joy in it every time,' Sy said in a statement. 'Together with Netflix, Carrousel, and Gaumont, we've invested the time needed to raise our ambitions and deliver even more surprises and enjoyment, both for us and the audience. The fresh energy from Carrousel Studios aligns perfectly with this vision. I'm eager to share the new episodes with as many people as possible.'
Lupin episodes are directed by Edouard Salier, Everardo Gout and Hugo Gelin. In addition to Sy, the Lupin part four cast includes Ludivine Sagnier, Antoine Gouy, Soufiane Guerrab, Shirine Boutella, Théo Christine and Laïka Blanc-Francard.
Just how popular is Lupin? The first two seasons parts currently occupy the third and sixth spots, respectively, on Netflix's own all-time rankings for non-English-language TV series. Lupin part one racked up 99.5 million views over the course of its first 91 days of availability; that's more than The Night Agent's first season (98.2 million views), Fool Me Once (also 98.2 million) and Stranger Things 3 (94.8 million), the number eight, nine and 10 shows on Netflix's English-language TV chart (all-time).
Gaumont produces Lupin in collaboration with Carroussel Studios.

Netflix analysts turn heads with stock price target updates
Bonjour tout le monde, comment aimez-vous Netflix maintenant? Okay, enough with the high school French. We're going bilingual because the world's largest streaming service recently unveiled a deal under which it will offer live broadcasts and on-demand content from the French broadcaster TF1 starting in summer 2026. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter "This is a first-of-its-kind partnership that plays to our strengths of giving audiences the best entertainment alongside the best discovery experience," Greg Peters, Netflix's co-CEO, said in a statement. "By teaming up with France's leading broadcaster we will provide French consumers with even more reasons to come to Netflix every day and to stay with us for all their entertainment." Chris Ratcliffe/Bloomberg via Getty Images TF1 reaches 58 million monthly viewers through its broadcast channels and serves 35 million users on its TF1+ streaming service. The company's CEO, Rodolphe Belmer, who sat on Netflix's board from 2018 until 2022 before taking the helm at TF1, said the alliance would "enable our premium content to reach unparalleled audiences and unlock new reach for advertisers within an ecosystem that perfectly complements our TF1+ platform." Last year, Netflix partnered with France's Newen Studios and TF1 to co-produce the streamer's first-ever daily drama series for France, "Tout Pour La Lumière" ("All for Light"), which is set in the world of music and dance, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "This is a very innovative deal" with "nothing of the sort elsewhere," Enders Analysis analyst François Godard said. "It pivots Netflix into aggregation." More Streaming: Walt Disney offers new perks for Disney+ membersBank of America sends strong message on NetflixNetflix has a genius plan to find its next hit show Scott Galloway, a New York University professor and a podcaster, noted recently that by expanding production globally, taking advantage of broadband technology, and capitalizing on inexpensive funding, Netflix was able to make large-scale investments similar to Amazon's (AMZN) strategy, leaving competitors unable to keep pace. Craig Hallum analyst Jason Kreyer said that Magnite (MGNI) , the world's largest independent sell-side advertising company, struck an agreement with TF1 just nine months ago to bolster programmatic demand, according to The Fly. Programmatic advertising uses software and algorithms to buy ad inventory in real time, often through auctions, rather than through manual negotiations between advertisers and publishers. Craig Hallum said that this relationship represented a ramp in its monetization potential with Netflix by bringing an influx of live content to the Netflix ecosystem, where Magnite remains the exclusive supply-side platform. The firm said that it expected a seamless transition to monetizing this inventory on Netflix. Craig-Hallum said its checks from Cannes in France have noted a material increase in interest and active discussions between these broadcasters and both publishers like Netflix and tech partners like Magnite. The firm sees this trend adding yet another set of tailwinds to the Magnite story. Craig-Hallum has a buy rating and a $14 price target on Magnite's shares. Netflix shares are up 38% this year and up nearly 82% from this time in 2024. Pivotal Research raised its price target on Netflix to a Wall-Street-high $1,600 from $1,350 and affirmed a buy rating on the shares. Related: Veteran trader turns heads with Netflix comments The investment firm said it moved from a year-end 2025 to a year-end 2026 target price and increased its multiple based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, citing increasing confidence in the company's "dominant market positioning." Netflix remains underpenetrated globally, Pivotal said. The Los Gatos, Calif., company offers an "extremely compelling" price-to-entertainment value, boosted by its advertising-supported offering, which should enable it to continue to generate solid growth in subscribers and average revenue per user, Pivotal said. The firm continues to view management's aspirational goal of a $1 trillion valuation by 2030 as reasonable. It's currently a bit more than half that at $520 billion. Wells Fargo raised its price target on Netflix to $1,500 from $1,222 given its opportunity path, while affirming an overweight rating on the shares. High-value short-form content could be Netflix's next big move with exclusive creator deals, WFC said. Wells Fargo estimates incremental engagement at an attractive return on investment. It's a third pillar of growth after sports and ads, the firm said. Netflix, scheduled to report quarterly results on July 17, said in May that it was testing a short-form-video feature. In 2021 the platform rolled out a TikTok-inspired feature called "Fast Laughs," which focused on funny clips, Tech Crunch reported. This new test aims to reach a broader audience beyond just comedy fans and will be more personalized. The new mobile-only vertical feed enables users to easily scroll through clips of its original titles. Within this feed, users can tap on buttons to watch the entire show or movie immediately, save it to their "My List," or share it with friends.

Johnny Depp doesn't regret Amber Heard trial, calls himself a 'crash test dummy for MeToo'
To some, Johnny Depp's headline-making defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard was a stain on his gleaming Hollywood career. But despite the legal drama, Depp wouldn't change a thing. The Oscar-nominated actor reflected on the 2022 court battle in an interview with The Sunday Times published June 21. "Look, none of this was going (to) be easy, but I didn't care," he told the British outlet. "I thought, 'I'll fight until the bitter (expletive) end.' And if I end up pumping gas? That's all right. I've done that before." Depp sued Heard in 2019, claiming she defamed him in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she said she was a victim of domestic abuse without specifically naming him. A Virginia jury in 2022 awarded him more than $10 million in damages following six weeks of widely watched testimony, during which both parties and witnesses testified about alleged abuse throughout their 15-month marriage. 'A soap opera': Johnny Depp shades Amber Heard defamation trial "Look, it had gone far enough," Depp, 62, continued. "If I don't try to represent the truth it will be like I've actually committed the acts I am accused of. And my kids will have to live with it. Their kids. Kids that I've met in hospitals. So the night before the trial in Virginia I didn't feel nervous. If you don't have to memories lines, if you're just speaking the truth? Roll the dice." Heard won $2 million in damages from her countersuit over Depp's lawyer calling her claims a hoax. In December 2022, the former couple agreed to a settlement in the defamation case, with Heard paying Depp $1 million that he pledged to charity. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" alum also reflected on the professional fallout from the trial, including testimony from his former agent Tracey Jacobs. According to The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, Jacobs testified that Depp's industry status was being increasingly undermined by his "unprofessional" on-set behavior, which allegedly included frequent tardiness. "There are people, and I'm thinking of three, who did me dirty. Those people were at my kids' parties. Throwing them in the air," Depp said. "And, look, I understand people who could not stand up (for me) because the most frightening thing to them was making the right choice. I was pre-MeToo. I was like a crash test dummy for MeToo. It was before Harvey Weinstein." 10 bingeable memoirs to check out: Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé The legal troubles of disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who was indicted in May 2018 on charges of five sex crimes, are widely regarded as the tipping point for the #MeToo movement's impact on Hollywood. Weinstein was convicted on June 11 of a first-degree criminal sexual act in the retrial of his 2020 conviction on sexual assault and rape charges. Following the conclusion of his trial with Heard, Depp resumed his entertainment career with a starring role in 2023's "Jeanne du Barry," and directed the 2024 period drama "Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness." "Honestly? I didn't go anywhere," said Depp of his showbiz reemergence. "If I actually had the chance to split, I would never come back." Contributing: KiMi Robinson, USA TODAY
