All Returning & New Characters

Writer Isabella Bartlett

Netflix's Lupin part 2 continues the cat-and-mouse game between Assane Diop & the Pellegrinis. Here's the cast & characters & where you've seen them.

Lupin season 2 hits Netflix on June 11 and will see its French cast of memorable characters return to the small screen; here are the actors in Lupin part 2 and who they play. The mystery thriller became the biggest-ever French-language series for Netflix, achieving breakout success across the world, particularly in North America. The first season of a limited five episodes released early last January and became a huge hit for the streaming platform, then continued strong with Netflix reporting that Lupin had been the most-watched show on the platform through the first quarter of 2021 (via THR).

Part of this is thanks to the tight pacing and taught storyline of the abbreviated season. Yet audiences were equally captivated by the strength of the performances of the cast. The talented actors really made the show what it is. Naturally, viewers were curious to see if everyone would return for season 2 and if any new faces would be added.

Omar Sy returns as Assane Diop, the Parisian gentleman thief whose character is heavily influenced by the Arsène Lupin book series. Diop's life of crime is focused on revenge against the wealthy Pellegrini family, who years ago accused his father of a crime he didn't commit. The French actor is best known for a few big Hollywood tentpoles, including playing Bishop in X-Men: Days of Future Past, Barry in the Jurassic World franchise, and Perrault in last year's adaptation of The Call of the Wild.

Ludivine Sagnier also returns as Claire in Lupin part 2 as Assane's ex-girlfriend and the mother of his child, Raoul. Claire has full custody of Raoul. Despite this and Assane's unsavory profession, Claire still harbors some feelings for him. Sagnier most recently appeared as Esther Aubry in The Young Pope and The New Pope. Others might recognize her from her role playing Tink in 2003's Peter Pan.

Clotilde Hesme as Juliette Pellegrini

She befriended Assane as a teenager and also has feelings for the charming thief but has kept distance between them knowing it can't work. Hesme is a well-known French actress whose work includes 2016's Chocolat, A Woman's Life, and Three Worlds.
