'Emily in Paris' S4 split into two, release dates revealed
Fans of Emily in Paris have eagerly awaited the fourth installment, and now their patience is about to be rewarded. Netflix has announced that the upcoming season will be split into two parts, premiering on August 15 and September 12 respectively. The news was unveiled in a video featuring cast members describing the season in three words each. Highlights from their responses include descriptors like "vulnerable," "messy," "chaotic," "revenge," and even "holy fucking sh*t."
Why does this story matter?
Emily in Paris took the world by storm in 2020. The show was such a hit that Netflix greenlit a second season in November 2020. In 2022, it was renewed for Seasons 3 and 4. Lily Collins plays Emily Cooper, an American marketing whiz who moves to Paris to share her American perspective with a French marketing company. The show follows Emily's adventures as she juggles work, love, and making friends in a new city.
Here's what to expect from S04
Emily in Paris Season 4 is expected to pick up after a messy situation. Emily (Collins) likes both Gabriel and Alfie, but things are complicated: Gabriel's about to be a dad and Alfie feels betrayed. Meanwhile, Sylvie has her own drama, and the marketing agency deals with changes. Emily's best friend Mindy's band scrambles for cash before Eurovision. Emily and Gabriel work well together, but secrets could ruin everything.
'Next stop: Rome!'
Filming for the show has mostly happened in Paris but for a change, the show's creator, Darren Star, has planned a fresh journey as the location transitions to Italy this time. Collins confirmed this news on her Instagram account last week with a snapshot of herself and co-star Park, captioning it "When you're the first ones on the dance floor at the Paris wrap party. Next stop: Rome!"
Familiar faces return, plot twists await in Season 4
The upcoming season will feature many familiar faces. Lucas Bravo will reprise his role as Gabriel, with Ashley Park returning as Mindy. Other returning cast members include Lucien Laviscount as Alfie, Camille Razat, Samuel Arnold, William Abadie, and Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu. The fourth season aims to resolve the suspenseful moments from Season 3 including Emily's romantic life taking unexpected twists with her relocation to Rome.
