Three years is a long time to keep a gentleman thief waiting, but the wait has clearly paid off. Lupin Part 4 premiered on Netflix on October 23, and by Sunday it had taken the top spot on the platform’s worldwide TV chart.
On October 25, Lupin scored 648 points on FlixPatrol’s worldwide Netflix chart, ahead of Nobody Wants This with 590 and Below with 588. That puts Omar Sy’s series 58 points clear of the pack, and well ahead of Doctor X: Mafia in White (378) and The Diplomat (328).
Netflix dropped all eight episodes on October 23, which makes Part 4 the longest season yet and an easy weekend binge. It also arrived after the longest gap in the show’s history, so there was plenty of pent-up demand to bring viewers back to Assane Diop.
The premise helps too. Four years after Part 3, Assane is in prison and wants to leave Lupin behind, until a copycat starts robbing museums in his name and frames him for it. To clear his name, he has to escape and put the costume back on.
Critics have been warm so far. The Guardian’s Micha Frazer-Carroll called Sy “magnetic in his blockbuster return,” while Collider’s Remus Noronha praised the stunt work and elaborate heists as a return to the action-driven feel of Part 1. Part 4 also holds a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing, with the 2025 Louvre robbery echoing the show’s first heist and sending viewers back to Lupin.

How Netflix’s Lupin Part 4 Stacks Up Against Earlier Parts
Lupin has been a global hit since Part 1, which Netflix said reached 70 million households in its first 28 days. Parts 1 and 2 now rank third and sixth on Netflix’s all-time non-English TV chart. Part 3 kept that momentum going in 2023, when FlixPatrol had it on top of the global chart and number one in 56 countries, according to ShortList, and it went on to spend seven weeks in Netflix’s global Top 10.
Part 4 is repeating that pattern only two days after its release, which is an impressive start for a series that was away for three years. The show is well rated overall too, with FlixPatrol listing it at 7.5 on IMDb and 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, though those are series-wide scores and not for Part 4 alone.
The real test comes with Netflix’s official Top 10 later this week, which will cover only Part 4’s first three days. The season also ends on a cliffhanger, and Netflix has not renewed Lupin for a fifth part yet, so strong numbers could help make the case. Our Lupin Part 4 ending explained breaks down what it sets up.
All eight episodes of Lupin Part 4 are currently streaming on Netflix.
