On the plot side, Netflix distils the information little by little. However, a path is emerging: after years spent on the run and developing ever more ambitious plans, Assane Diop would this time seek to find a form of normality.
“He wants to find his family, to be the father that he was not necessarily for his son.”explained in Mars dernier Pauline Dauvin, vice-president of Netflix responsible for the French creation auprès de our confrères de West France.
After three years of waiting, Netflix now hopes that the return of its gentleman burglar will succeed in reproducing a phenomenon that has become rare: a French series capable of attracting tens of millions of spectators in the four corners of the world.
