omar sy began acting in 1996. His career would have been linked to the typical productions that do not cross the borders of France if it were not for his magnificent performance in Untouchable, the film directed by Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano that brought the actor international recognition. Sy went on to win a César Award for Best Actor (the equivalent of the French Goyas) in 2012, and from there, his career began to take off towards new horizons. In fact, her role alongside François Cluzet was reinforced in 2018, when Hollywood bought the rights to Untouchable and did his own version with Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart. The Upside, by Neil Burger, will go down in history as the remake that absolutely no one asked for. Apparently, Warner Yes has recognized the quality of the French actorand he has signed a deal to produce content for HBO Max.
HBO Max wants to catch the success of Lupine
Relatively recently, Omar Sy was back on everyone’s lips thanks to Lupinea television series produced by the French division of Netflix and that it originally had no plans to expand internationally. The rhythm of the series, very agile and fun, followed by Sy’s charisma made the production for television break all the moulds.
Netflix did not really count on the success of Lupine, because, as it happens with series like The Money Heist, are very localized productions designed for a specific market. A few months later, Lupine received the second season from him—or rather, the second part of the first season. The series again broke its own records, and Sy himself ended up confirming that a third part of the series.
Warner signs Omar Sy: is the third part of Lupine?
Lupine season 3 has generated a lot of noise, but the truth is that absolutely nothing is known about this production. Just this week, Omar Sy has signed a contract with HBO Maxwhich has increased uncertainty about this hypothetical third season of the series.
Regarding his new contract with HBO Max, the actor could not be more grateful. According to him, he has declared to several media outlets, the producer shares his dreams of develop content globally And not just for a specific market. The actor has considered that HBO Max will give him the loudspeaker he needed to reach that audience in Francophone Africa, the United States and also his homeland.
According to Sarah Aubrey, head of original content at HBO Max, the HBO team is very proud to have reached an agreement with the French actor after the success he has achieved in his own country. At the moment, the team has not made public any list of the productions in which Sy is going to work, but they have declared that he will be part of their T.V. series.
What is clear is that Warner It has taken away from Netflix one of the most successful actors on its platform. For now, we will have to wait for more news about Lupinealthough if everything has followed the established plan, the logical thing would be to think that that third season is already shot and should reach the Big Red N platform during this year 2022.
