The Arsene Lupin fanbase, which is evident within the show, would have to lock antlers with the Sherlock Holmes fanbase – you want to take it to a really meta-level. Having that kind of level of fun would be really cool, and it’s not something we haven’t discussed.”

“create a new adventure that will run forward from there and further unsettle Assane”
