Shows Like Lupin for Con Artist and Heist Fans
By Jordan A. · · 5 min read
Omar Sy is back. Lupin Part 4 lands on Netflix on October 23, 2026, with Sy returning as Assane Diop, the gentleman thief who turned a childhood love of Arsene Lupin novels into a one-man revenge campaign against the rich and powerful. If you have already rewatched the first three parts to prep, you need something to hold you over.
What makes Lupin so easy to love is the con itself. Assane rarely wins with force. He wins with disguises, misdirection, and a plan three steps ahead of everyone in the room. These shows deliver that same rush, and every one is a click away.
Why Lupin hooks people
The show is built on the heist-movie pleasure of watching a smart person outthink a system. Assane is charming, the stakes are personal, and Paris looks incredible. The picks below hit at least two of those three, and the best ones hit all three.
Money Heist, for the long-game score
If you want maximalist heist television, Money Heist is the one. A mastermind called the Professor assembles a crew in red jumpsuits and Dali masks to pull off the biggest robbery in Spanish history, then somehow tops it. It is loud, emotional, and completely addictive across its run on Netflix. Where Lupin is a scalpel, this is a sledgehammer, and sometimes that is exactly what you want.
Leverage: Redemption, for the weekly con
Fans who love watching a crew pull a fresh scheme every episode should go straight to Leverage: Redemption, the revival of the beloved heist procedural. A team of thieves, hackers, and grifters takes down corporate villains who think they are untouchable. It is lighter than Lupin and built for comfort viewing, streaming on Prime Video. Perfect when you want the con without the heavier emotional weight.
The Gentlemen, for stylish criminal chaos
Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen is not a heist show exactly, but it shares the same DNA, a world of clever criminals talking fast and playing angles, shot with real swagger. An aristocrat inherits an estate that comes with a cannabis empire buried underneath it, and the schemes pile up from there. It is on Netflix, and we went deeper on it in our guide to shows like The Gentlemen.
Three more for the crew
Still hungry after those? These keep the con going.
- Kaleidoscope (Netflix): a heist told out of order, with episodes you can watch in almost any sequence before the big finale.
- The Great Heist (Netflix): a lean Colombian series based on a real 1994 bank robbery, tense and grounded.
- Slow Horses (Apple TV): more spy than thief, but the same joy of watching underestimated people outmaneuver their betters. Our shows like Slow Horses list has more.
Where to start
For the closest match to Assane's mix of charm and payback, Money Heist is your binge. For easy weeknight fun, Leverage: Redemption. For style and attitude, The Gentlemen. And if you want the cinematic cousins of the con, our roundup of movies like Now You See Me is stacked with slick heists on the big screen. Any of them will keep the disguises and double-crosses coming until Assane returns on the 23rd.
The movies that share the DNA
Heist storytelling did not start on streaming, and a couple of films are worth queuing between Lupin episodes. Inside Man, Spike Lee's bank-heist thriller with Denzel Washington and Clive Owen, is a masterclass in the kind of misdirection Assane lives for, a robbery where the real crime is not the one you think you are watching. Ocean's Eleven remains the gold standard for the charming-crew heist, all style and timing and a plan you do not fully understand until it pays off. Both reward the same brain that loves watching a con quietly click into place.
What makes Lupin special, and what the best picks here share, is that the trick is never just the trick. Assane robs the rich to avenge his father, so every scheme carries real weight underneath the sleight of hand. Money Heist gives its robbers a cause worth bleeding for. Leverage gives its crew a code and a target that deserves it. The con is only the surface, and the reason behind it is what keeps you hooked long past the first clever reveal. A heist with nothing at stake is just a magic trick, and these all have something to lose.
How to build your queue
Start with Money Heist if you want to be swallowed whole by something for a week. Drop into Leverage: Redemption when you want a satisfying, self-contained win in every episode. Save The Gentlemen for a night when you want style over stakes and dialogue you will want to rewind. Slot a heist film or two in on the evenings you only have a couple of hours. By the time Assane returns on October 23, you will have a con artist's education and a much clearer sense of which flavor of scheme is your favorite.
One last thing separates a great heist story from a forgettable one, and that is the crew. Assane mostly works alone, but the ensemble shows on this list prove how much fun a well-drawn team can be, each member with a specialty and a grudge. Half the pleasure is watching personalities clash while the plan quietly comes together. Keep that in mind as you pick. If you want a lone genius, lean toward Lupin's spirit. If you want banter and chaos, the crew shows will win you over fast.
Tracking which heist shows live on which service is its own puzzle. BingeNext solves it by reading across everything you subscribe to and surfacing the con you have not seen yet, no hunting required. Get show recommendations tuned to exactly what you loved about Lupin.
