Exclusive – Netflix unveils new behind-the-scenes featurette The Making of Lupin
Discover how Netflix pulled off Lupin's high-octane stunts.
If you've already binged the first half of Netflix's French heist thriller - and are eagerly awaiting Lupin Part 2 - you know the series doesn't hold back when it comes to high-octane, fast-paced stunts.
The dynamic crime drama sees Omar Sy's charismatic criminal Assane Diop attempt to steal Marie Antoinette's necklace from the Louvre to avenge his father's tragic death – using a methodology inspired by Maurice Leblanc's Arsène Lupin books.
The gentleman thief is a classic of French literature, but Assane certainly does a good job of modernising his work.
You can watch The Making of Lupin below to catch a glimpse of how the magic happened.
From a Ferrari crashing into the Louvre, to capturing Paris's essence beyond its iconic monuments, there it's clear a lot of thought (and a lot of work) went into the making of Lupin.

Only the first five episodes are currently available to watch on the streaming giant, but a second part has already been confirmed so we can expect more of Sy's modernised gentleman thief in the future – though likely not until later this year.
