The 'Lupin' Part Two Trailer Shows the Gentleman Burglar Back On His Revenge Path
With his son missing and his revenge mission incomplete, Assane Diop will be back soon to finish what he started. The first trailer for Part 2 of Netflix's Lupin dropped on May 6, and confirmed a June 11 release date for the second batch of episodes in the season.
The first five episodes of Netflix’s Lupin debuted on Netflix on January 8, and the series quickly became the first French show to break into the streaming giant's U.S. Top 10. The fast-paced, winding heist plot set in Paris entertains, but it's the emotional backstory of the titular character that gives the show depth and heart. But the gripping tale of the suave gentleman burglar with a chip on his shoulder (Omar Sy) leaves us on a serious cliffhanger, and concludes with a screen that reads “It’s Official: Part 2 is Coming Soon”. Finally, we have a date.
Part One of Lupin concludes with Assane and his (ex?) wife Claire (Ludvine Sangier) combing the beach for their son Raoul (Etan Simon), who has just vanished. We know that Pellegrini’s henchman, who was quickly let go by the police after Assane set him up for capture, has abducted Raoul, and the boy will likely be used as leverage over Assane in the coming episodes. Assane has also just been confronted by detective Youssef Guedira, the only officer who sees a connection between him and the Lupin novels. In the following episodes, we will surely see him confirm his suspicion and prove his colleagues wrong. Part Two will also hopefully resolve the main conflict, allowing Assane to expose the corruption of the Pellegrini family and clear his father’s name.
In the newly released Part 2 trailer, we see the kidnapped Raoul held hostage as the action intensifies—and Lupin appears as driven, quick, and suave as ever. On June 11, we'll see where the heist takes us next, but until then, you can (begrudgingly) hang up your top hat.
