Lupine on Netflix: When a Real Heist Crashes Season 3 Filming

Lupine on Netflix: When a Real Heist Crashes Season 3 Filming

Reality sometimes merges with fiction! And it’s not the Lupine Season 3 team that will be able to say otherwise. Because if the character played by Omar Sy is a master of the art of robbery, it seems that the adventures of this modern-day thief have given ideas to budding criminals.

In February 2022, the production of the Netflix series was indeed the victim of a robbery. About twenty hooded men rushed onto the set and attacked the technicians by shooting fireworks to steal the equipment. Cameras, tripods, optics and all other filming equipment were stolen for a total of around €300,000 in loot.

Tasked with the forensic police service of the Hauts-de-Seine department, the investigation of the incident proceeded very quickly, as only a few weeks after the event, investigators had already identified and arrested the perpetrators.

According to the information RTLThe seven suspects in this spectacular heist were charged on March 11, 2022 by an investigating judge in Nanterre with organized gang robbery with a weapon and receiving stolen property.

Three suspects were arrested, while the others were under judicial supervision. Most of the attackers were already known to the police for theft, violence or drug dealing.

This isn’t the first time a Netflix product has been hacked. The filming of The Crown Season 5 was also the victim of a large-scale theft in February 2022. In total, 350 valuables were stolen by several unknown thugs, causing a loss of more than €200,000.

Season 3 of Lupine, available on Netflix from Thursday, October 5, broke all the records like the previous installments. It has actually been viewed more than 11.6 million times worldwide since its launch, making it the most-watched non-English-language fiction on the US platform between October 2nd and 8th.

While Netflix has yet to announce Lupine’s renewal for an additional season, the shocking ending to this season 3 episode left fans wanting more.
