Pilot
Arrested for the robbery of a bank, Michael Scofield, a civil engineer, is sentenced to five years in prison. To the astonishment and incomprehension of his lawyer friend Veronica, Michael refuses to defend himself in order to lighten his sentence; he only asks the judge in charge of his trial to be incarcerated near his home and obtains the right to be sent to Fox River, a level 1 state prison. He meets Brad Bellick, the security captain who is anything but gentle. His cellmate is Sucre, a young Puerto Rican who wants to find his fiancée as soon as possible.
While there, Michael tries to make contact with a certain Lincoln Burrows, who is none other than his brother. Sentenced to death for having murdered the brother of the Vice President, Lincoln claims his innocence despite the evidence accumulated against him. Michael needs to get close to his brother and goes to see Abruzzi, who is in charge of the neighborhood where Lincoln is. Using his influence, Michael is able to win over Abruzzi.
Convinced that his brother is not guilty, Michael asks Veronica to find out who is behind the case and tells his brother that he has a plan to escape...
Pretending to be a diabetic, Michael often goes to the infirmary where he meets Sara Tancredi, the only doctor. She seems to be troubled by the young man and trust begins to grow. Michael will also influence the prison warden, Henry Pope.
As Bishop McMorrow tries to delay Lincoln's death sentence, he is visited by the Secret Service. Paul Kellerman and Daniel Hale are two agents with brutal and suspicious methods. McMorrow is shot and Veronica begins to suspect that Burrows may be framed.
Season 3 of Lupin premieres on Netflix on October 23, 2026 — just 14 days from now — and that is excellent news for anyone who has missed the show’s particular blend of gentleman-thief elegance, emotional stakes and breathless Parisian cat-and-mouse action. The French crime drama returns with Omar Sy as Assane Diop, the master of disguise inspired by Arsène Lupin, and this new chapter looks set to push him into exactly the kind of impossible corner that made the series a global phenomenon. If your BetaSeries calendar has a gap for late October, this is the moment to fill it.
For viewers who have not revisited Lupin in a while, the essential setup is simple: Assane Diop has spent the series using the mythology, tricks and theatrical intelligence of Arsène Lupin to avenge his father Babakar, who was destroyed by the powerful Pellegrini family. Assane is not just a thief; he is a strategist, a performer and a son still haunted by an injustice that shaped his entire life. Previous seasons tied together revenge, corruption, police pursuit and Assane’s complicated family life with Claire and their son Raoul. That is all you really need going into Season 3: Assane may be brilliant at disappearing, but the people he loves are the one thing he cannot leave behind.
That emotional conflict appears to be the engine of the new season from the very first episode. Season 3 opens with Assane devising a plan to make things right with Claire and Raoul by getting them out of France. It is a classic Lupin premise: the solution sounds simple, but the execution requires nerve, deception and perfect timing. The official summary makes one thing clear — the stakes are higher, the margin for error is gone and Assane’s genius may not be enough if his enemies are already anticipating his next move. This is exactly the kind of immediate pressure the show does best, turning a family decision into a full-scale criminal operation.
