Lupin is streaming now on Netflix.
Netflix and Gaumont have scored a hit with a French series inspired by one of the 20th-centuryâs most enduringly popular criminals: Arsène Lupin, a charismatic gentleman burglar created by Maurice Leblanc in 1905.

Lupin made his bow in stories in the French magazine Je sais tout before Leblanc followed up with 17 novels, more than twice as many novellas, a spin-off novel and several plays. Thatâs before other writers got involved, whether spoofing or paying homage. In the 1970s the writing duo Boileau-Narcejac created five authorised sequels, but because of copyright restrictions most creators have presented their âLupinsâ as descendants or imitators of the original. The many literary iterations of the debonair thief could fill a handsome library in his luxurious Paris flat.
