What will happen in Lupin season 2?
As previously mentioned, series two is going to carry on from season one so there will be no time jumping.
Assane will be desperately trying to retrieve his son back from the Pelligrini family in these next five episodes.
Netflix stated: “This isn’t a game anymore. Assane’s quest for revenge against Hubert Pelligrini has torn his family to pieces.
"With his back to the wall, he now has to think of a new plan, even if it means putting himself in danger.”
This won't be the end of the story though as the drama will be returning yet again.
Earlier this year, it was confirmed that Lupin has been renewed for a third series.
Taking to Twitter, Sy excitedly wrote: “We can’t hide anything from you. Lupin part 3 is confirmed!”
Given that it was only a few months between series one and two's premieres, season three could potentially be back before the end of the year.
Lupin is available to watch on Netflix.
