Netflix's 'Lupin' part 2 new trailer: Gentleman thief is back
Netflix recently released a trailer for Lupin part 2, and boy, is it edgy! The gentleman thief Assane Diop, played by French actor Omar Sy with elan, once again seems in the midst of danger, as he is on a quest against the evil rich man, Hubert Pellegrini. He is also on a revenge spree. The five-episode-long part 2 will premiere on June 11.
Diop's son has been kidnapped, he is desperate for revenge
The trailer for part 2 begins with Diop desperate to find his son, Raoul. He has apparently been kidnapped by none other than Pellegrini. His mission now is to get his kid back and avenge his father's death involving the Pellegrini family. The touching backstory provides Lupin a lot of heart and depth, and for an action-packed show like this, these things matter.
Assane Diop is now the most wanted man in France
We also find Diop facing pressure from the authorities. After all, he has been named the most wanted man in France. The costumes are outstanding and stylish, pacing of the trailer is impeccable, and the rap song in the background just adds to the suave vibe of Lupin. We surely can't wait to see what plans he has in motion to reveal Pellegrini's crimes.

The news was confirmed by Omar himself after a journalist pointed out the part 3 announcement inside of the part 2 release date. "We can't hide anything from you.
