 TMS Entertainment announced at its booth at Japan Expo on Thursday that a fifth Lupin III series is in production. The new series will take place in France—titular character Arsène Lupin's home. The previous installments of the Lupin III series are based on the manga by Monkey Punch. The series has received various anime adaptations since it was published in 1967. Produced by TMS Entertainment and Telecom Animation Film, the most recent anime adaptation, Lupin III: Part IV is the first TV anime since Lupin III: Part III ended in 1984. Lupin III: Part IV was first broadcast on August 29 via Italian television channel Italia 1, before premiering in Japan on October 1. The TV series ran for 24 episodes and took place in Italy and San Marino, featuring Lupin in a blue coat.

| more sexy Fujiko is always welcome |
| Why didn't they announce it at Japan Expo, instead?! Between the setting and its popularity here, therewere enough reasons. edit: wait, it strongly looks like it was shown at the J-E 18th Impact. edit: nobody seems interested about this news here... |

well Lupin is an old franchise like Gundam that both have decreasing fanbase as years pass by |
| This news tops any announcement from Anime Expo, especially after the masterpiece that is Part IV. I'm incredibly excited! EDIT: If they're making more after this one I would love to see Part VI take place in the Benelux. |

| @Rei366, the typo has been corrected. Indeed, the announcement was made at Japan Expo. |
 |
| Lupin III was pretty good and interesting anime and I'm glad that there will be some good new anime. |
| Blue Jacket was amazing and I am extremely excited about a new season. Maybe this means more seasons are planned for more countries/regions in the world, too... Would love to see Lupin touring the entire world. PS: Continuity with the 2015 LUpin would be quite nice as well. I liked both Nix and Rebecca as additions to the cast. |

| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| We're gettin Blue Jacket again or is it just the image? Can we have Rebecca back? |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| Every title related to Lupin I've seen till now has been fantastic so I don't doubt that I will enjoy this one too. I'm also glad it's in Europe again because it's such an underused setting and seeing European architecture in anime has always been a very nice detail for me. |
 |
| Am excited for this. Can't wait to see the cast back together. |
 |
| A Franchise that never dies but at least it's a good thing. Is it ok to watch this without watching the previous season? I heard it's Plotless episodic series. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| OMG!!!!!!!!!!! :') i really love this anime .i am really glad there is more |
| Atleast it's not the black jacket, cause that is edge personified. |

My first taste of Lupin was recently with the 2015 version, i had a lot of fun with it ! I'll definitly try the other stuff in the future. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| A fifth one?! I'm still stuck watching the first one. I hope it's good, though. |
 |
| Excited for the upcoming season. I hope it will be another 2 cour similar to the previous. |
 |
| I honestly don't know how to start celebrating this. Sazanami-Kai said: Is it ok to watch this without watching the previous season? I heard it's Plotless episodic series. Yeah, pretty much you can start anywhere. |
 One man is no more than another, if he do no more than what another does. |
| PogFkingChamp Kreygasm |
| I hope for an another season directed by Yamamoto Sayo. |
 |
| Loved Part 4. Really looking forward to this. |
| @Sazanami-Kai It's still interesting to watch the early episodes of the first show (before it focused on "adventures"). You would even get to watch the group meet a future regular character for the first time. |
| OH GOD Yes. Can't wait to get to see more of Lupin & Jigen. ♡ |
 |
| Amazing news, can't wait! |
| ٩(●ᴗ●)۶ ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) (ᗒᗨᗕ) |
| Part IV was phenomenal, I can't wait for this! |
| :3 |
j0x said: well Lupin is an old franchise like Gundam that both have decreasing fanbase as years pass by I don't know about the anime fandom in general, but I personally just recently got into the Lupin franchise and have been having a blast watching it. I love the characters (especially Jigen) and how the series shifts in tone and style throughout its various incarnations. So I can't wait for part five and what it'll bring to the table. |
| Holy SHIT! The hype is real! |
