"Lupine" is still running.
But in this second part of season 1, of which Netflix is making all five episodes available this Friday, Assane Diop (Omar Sy) is scared.
For the first time.
No more laughing.
Her son disappeared on the beach at Étretat.
The stakes are getting darker.
Way of talking.
Let's be honest: we know the gentleman-burglar will always get away with it. The charm of "Lupine" remains this rhythm of an enchanted merry-go-round in a dream Paris. If “Lupine” is a hit the world over, it is also because we see the capital there in major mode: after the Louvre, Orsay and its magic clock, the quays of the Seine, the Pont Neuf, the Catacombs, the Theater du Châtelet filmed like never before, a chase in the Catacombs, and less popular places like the Buttes Chaumont. Follow the guide "Lupine". Often beautiful postcards.
Ludivine Sagnier, who plays the ex of the hero and the mother of their son, had not seen the planetary cardboard coming, as she confided during a press conference of the film team in video: " I had the feeling that it would work well in France, because Omar is very popular there. But I did not expect such success everywhere. I thought it would only be shown on Netflix in France. 76 million households who watched, I still can't believe it, ”exclaimed the actress.
Omar Sy agrees: “We cannot expect such success.
But we felt that there was something to be done, because Netflix is like the series Olympics, and we were carrying the French flag ”.
If the creators recalled that "Lupine" told the story of Assane Diop, and not that of the hero of Maurice Leblanc, the winks to the real Lupine multiply in this second part, with a reference to the novel "813 »In a hotel room to a discussion between Assane and his son on« the confrontation between Arsène Lupine and Herlock Shears ».
