Fortunately for fans, it has been confirmed that the series will be returning for part three. To coincide with the release of Lupin part two earlier this month, Netflix set up a site in the name of Lupin's main character Assane Diop that revealed to visitors that the series will be back for new episodes.

What an incredible show," one fan tweeted. Another said:" The best series I've ever watched. Got through part two in one day. Recommend it to everyone, it's honestly class."
