Pop that Champère: we've got fresh Emily in Paris season 4 news!
Given that we're always left with plenty of questions—"Who does Emily end up with, Alfie or Gabriel?" "Who does Emily choose to work for, Sylvie or Madeline?"—it should come as no surprise that Emily in Paris season 3 left viewers with a cliffhanger...again.
But answers will soon come in the fourth season of the Netflix hit, which was announced in tandem with the season 3 pick-up back in January 2022.
"Woke up early to give you some VERY exciting news… @emilyinparis is back for Season 3… AND wait for it, Season 4!!!!!" the show's leading lady Lily Collins posted to her Instagram to announce the news. "I can’t tell if Emily would love or hate this announcement outfit but she’d be screaming either way. Truly love you all, thanks so much for the incredible support. Seriously cannot wait for more. Merci Beaucoup!!…"
And now there's even more good news, with a little sneak peek into what we can expect from Miss Cooper's story via the June 2023 Tudum: A Global Fan Event.
'Emily in Paris' season 4: what we know
On Friday, June 17, the Netflix comedy released a teaser clip featuring Lily Collins for the Tudum fan event in Brazil. In the short clip, the actress reminds viewers of some of the plot points we ended up last season: “Is Alfie still heartbroken? Will Gabriel get his Michelin star? Will Mindy and the band go to Eurovision? Will Sylvie’s rekindled love last? And the question on all of our minds: will Emily and Gabriel finally get together?”
And though she can't give up too many specifics on what's coming for season 4, the actress did drop some details: We have more fun, more fashion and of course more drama in store. While Emily’s heart will always remain true to Paris, her life takes an unexpected twist this season. Don’t be surprised to find her on a Roman holiday!”
Yes, we're going to Italia, baby!
When will we see 'Emily in Paris' season 4?
Like many TV programs, filming for Emily in Paris season 4 has been delayed due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike.
Production on the fourth season was reportedly set to begin in late summer or early fall of this year in Paris but has been pushed back two months, per Variety. A source said that Netflix still plans to begin filming by the end of the fall, but whether more not even more strike-related delays will affect production remains to be seen.
"We’re waiting for it to be resolved. We’ll see how it settles!” Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, who plays Emily’s French boss Sylvie, told Variety during a May interview.
As soon as we learn more, you'll be the first to know, bébé!
What will 'Emily in Paris' season 4 be about?
Ahead of season 3, we're left wondering what choices Emily will make in the romance department. We learned that Alfie was returning for season 3, but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be smooth sailing for them—after all, Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) is still in the picture.
While we can't reveal too much, know that it's not entirely clear who Emily has her sights set on by the end of the season. We could only assume that she'll (hopefully) figure out matters of the heart in the fourth installment.
"They are star-crossed lovers, they really are," Emily in Paris creator Darren Starr told Deadline about Emily and Gabriel's relationship. "And I think that a big question to think about the next season is, Emily didn’t come to Paris for romance, she came for a job, and I think they’re both in a different, more mature place in their lives, Emily and Gabriel, and definitely a more complicated place.”
As for Emily's professional life, Starr said: "Season 3 was about making choices. I think Season 4 is about how to balance business and toxic relationships, because that’s going to be happening with a lot of our characters."
Starr also gave some insight into what's next for Emily's BFF Mindy, telling the outlet: “I think that our plan is to go to Eurovision next season, we’re all set up for it. And I think we’ve got a deserving song. I love that song, 'Mon Soleil', I think it would be definitely a worthy entry.”
Who will be in the 'Emily in Paris' season 4 cast?
While nothing has been confirmed quite yet, we'll likely see these familiar faces returning for season 4:
- Lily Collins as Emily Cooper
- Lucas Bravo as Gabriel
- Camille Razat as Camille
- Lucien Laviscount as Alfie
- Ashley Park as Mindy Chen
- Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie
- Kate Walsh as Madeline Wheeler
- Charles Martins as Mathieu Cadault
- Bruno Gouery as Luc
- William Abadie as Antoine Lambert
And perhaps season 4 is the perfect opportunity to make those Kim Cattrall Emily in Paris cameo rumors a reality? (Hint, hint!)
The first three seasons of Emily in Paris are available to stream on Netflix.
