The show focuses on a teenager whose life is upended by the
death of his father after he was accused of a crime he didn’t commit. The show
picks up 25 years after those events when the son uses the famous thief and
master of disguise, "Arsène Lupin, Gentleman Burglar," as an
inspiration to avenge his departed dad.
Netflix reports that 28 days after its debut on the
platform, the five-part series is poised to be watched in 70 million
households. Deadline notes that this tops previous 2020 hits such as "Bridgerton"
and "The Queen's Gambit," which reportedly reached 63 million and 62
million homes in their first 28 days, respectively. The show also quickly
became the first French series to land on Netflix’s U.S. Top 10 list.
In addition to being a top streamer in the U.S., Netflix
reports that "Lupin" ranked first in France, Brazil, Vietnam,
Argentina, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, The Netherlands, The Philippines,
Sweden and more.
"70 millions, that's insane!!" series star Omar Sy
wrote in a celebratory tweet. "So proud that Lupin is the first French
Netflix Original series to be so successful internationally ! That wouldn’t
have been possible without you. Thank you all."

Variety notes that while the numbers seem impressive,
Netflix does not track its viewership measurements in the traditional ways the
TV networks do. Netflix instead measures a show’s success based on how many
subscribers watch at least two minutes of a piece of content.
Regardless, the series helps Netflix gain a foothold in
France, a key market for the streamer as it seeks to expand in Europe.
"Lupin" was created by George Kay and also stars
Ludivine Sagnier, Clotilde Hesme, Nicole Garcia, Hervé Pierre and Soufiane
Guerrab.
