LUPIN fans were overjoyed at the announcement the second instalment would be hitting Netflix earlier this week.
But the series protagonist Omar Sy has now confirmed the thriller will be staying on our screens for longer, as Part 3 is said to be on the way.
Earlier this week, Netflix delivered the trailer and release date for Lupin Part 2 – with the race on in a bid to save the leading man’s son.
The series follows Assane, played by Omar, who is on a mission against the criminal underworld in a bid to find out who framed his father.
However, at the end of the first part of the story, things took a frustrating turn when Raoul, his son, was kidnapped on a family trip.
After fans went crazy over the Part 2 trailer, which sees Raoul tied up and held hostage, Omar took to Twitter to confirm the drama is sticking around.
"We can't hide anything from you," he wrote on Twitter in both French and English. "Lupin part 3 is confirmed!"
Lupin, a foreign-language series spoken in French, became a surprise worldwide smash on its initial release in January this year.
Premiering on Netflix, Lupin claimed the top-watched spot in France and soared to second place in the UK, as well as the US top ten.
Becoming one of the most watched shows on Netflix ever, 70million people tuned in to watch the action within a month of its release.
The show is inspired by Maurice Leblanc’s book series based around the same character, Assane Diop, who embodies criminal Arsène Lupin.
Lupin is available to stream on Netflix – Part 2 launches on Netflix on June 11.
