The story of the person seeking retribution is almost as old as time itself, and

while it rarely goes as planned for the revenge-seeker, it does make for
entertaining television. That is why popular shows like Lupin break Netflix’s
streaming records.

Arsène Lupin, a fictional gentleman burglar and master of disguise developed

by Maurice Leblanc in the early 1900s, served as the inspiration for Lupin.
Assane Diop, a skilled thief and the sole child of an immigrant from Senegal to
France, is the subject of the television program. However, Assane’s father is
falsely accused of stealing a pricey diamond necklace in France by Hubert
Pellegrini, his rich and powerful boss. As a result, his father commits suicide by
hanging himself in jail, leaving Assane an orphan. Assasin reads a book about
gentleman thief Arsène Lupin that his father gave to him. Twenty-five years
later, Assane decides to exact revenge on the Pellegrin family by publicizing
Hubert’s misdeeds.

He does this by using his expertise in theft and knowledge from the book.
George Kay, François Uzan, Sumerah Srivastav, and Eliane Montane are the
authors of the Lupin series. Its directors are Hugo Gélin, Marcela Said, Ludovic
Bernard, and Louis Leterrier. The Louvre, other Parisian neighborhoods, and the
show’s first five episodes (Lupin Part 1) were all used for filming. La
Naumachie Pond in Parc Monceau and the Musée Nissim de Camondo on Rue
de Monceau were additional settings. Parts of the fifth episode reportedly took
place in Étretat, which is notable because Maurice Leblanc once called the town
home.
