This is the cardboard of the start of the year: the series Lupine, broadcast since January 8, 2021 on Netflix, is breaking records all over the world. Already viewed by over 70 million viewers, Maurice Leblanc's story is carried by Omar Sy in a revisited version adapted to the twenty-first century sauce. The bet is successful since the series has ranked first among the platform's audiences in many countries. Thanks to the notoriety of the actor of course, seen in the saga Jurassic World, but also, as underlined Le Parisien / Today in France January 23, 2021, at "Paris, beautifully filmed, especially during a spectacular episode filmed at the Louvre". The daily even specifies that this success also benefits the book since Hachette has reissued the adventures of the gentleman burglar and hopes to sell up to 100,000 copies "by summer". A real phenomenon now comparable to other platform successes, such as The Crown, Riverdale or Stranger Things.
"Lupine": the next five episodes of the series with Omar Sy are still being edited
The good audiences of the series were also greeted with great enthusiasm on the part of Omar Sy, who, on social networks did not hesitate to display his joy : "70 million is crazy!
