The fourth part of Lupin puts Assane Diop in a situation he has never faced before: a copycat begins robbing museums while he is in prison. Unable to have committed the crimes, Assane must escape to clear his name and find out who is behind them.Omar Sy, who also took on the role of showrunner this season, said the copycat was key to changing the series’ dynamic. In earlier parts, Assane could catch people off guard because no one fully understood his methods. Now he is famous, and some people know what to expect from Lupin.“How can you play that game when someone knows exactly what he’s supposed to do and acts like him?” Sy asked during the conversation. For the actor, the conflict keeps Assane on his toes without repeating the formula of previous seasons.The shift also opens up new possibilities for the protagonist. Sy described Assane as a “superpowered” character whose main weakness stems from being underestimated or overlooked throughout his life. That experience helps explain how he stays one step ahead of others, even as the challenges he faces grow more complex.Sy also pointed to the range of tones in Lupin. Assane plays different characters within the same story, while the series moves between drama, action and comedy. For Sy, the challenge is finding the right balance among those elements in each episode.Family remains at the heart of the series, particularly Assane’s promise to his son that he would leave his life as Lupin behind. The copycat’s arrival, however, forces him back into that role to clear his name. That dilemma drives the fourth part: protect his family or return to a life of cons.Based on information from Collider.
