7: The Curious Case of Inspector Muhlberger
Located on the northern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, Monaco is tiny, rich and virtually crime-free—until the Pink Panthers show up. After they penetrate the peaceful haven for the ultra-wealthy, Monaco’s Prince Albert II appoints dashing French police inspector Andre Mulhberger to restore his subjects’ peace of mind.

6: Who’s the Boss?
“Punch” Stanimirovic, a safe-cracking former Pink Panther, didn’t seek out a life of crime—he was born into it. In Episode Six, Stanimirovic offers his take on the Panthers’ murky origin story, but it’s just one of many that have been suggested. Who’s really in charge of this infamous criminal gang? Is it a highly organized global network, a loose collection of thieves with similar styles—or something else entirely?

5: Catch and Release
Capturing a Pink Panther is one thing, but keeping them under lock and key is another. The Panthers develop a new talent: prison breaks. They escape jail time by breaking out with speed, precision and a flair for theatrics. In Episode Five, Olivera Ćircović, a former pro basketball star turned Pink Panther, takes us through her origin story, her life of crime and her daring escape from a notorious Greek prison. And Milan Ljepoja proves that a jail in the tiny country of Liechtenstein is no match for the Pink Panthers.

2: Thick as Thieves
The heist in Dubai is just the latest in a string of elaborate smash-and-grab robberies of high-end jewelry stores across the globe. In glamorous locations like Monaco, Paris, London and Tokyo, the Pink Panthers’ flashy, cinematic style involves wigs and costumes, speedboats and motorcycles, blowtorches and grenades.
