Here’s everything we know so far about the marketing executive’s upcoming adventures in the French capital.

Netflix’s hit series Emily in Paris is returning for a season 4 packed with love triangles, fashion and breathtaking musical performances. Ever since Lily Collins shared a video on her Instagram account with all the questions left hanging from the final episodes, we have been itching for news of our favorite Frenchie. But the wait will soon be over. On January 19, Lily Collins posted a selfie, with the script of the new installment of Emily in Paris in hand. Here’s everything you need to know about Season 4.

Who will be in the cast of Emily in Paris season 4?

Lily Collins and Ashley Park will reprise their roles as Emily and Mindy, presumably alongside the show’s other key characters, Camille Razat (Camille), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie), Samuel Arnold (Julien) and Bruno Gouery (Luc). On the other hand, Madeline Wheeler (Emily‘s former boss, played by Kate Walsh) will probably not be in this new installment of Emily in Paris, as her character previously returned to Chicago.

However, a question remains over the fate of Lucien Laviscount’s Alfie – the actor was promoted to a series regular last season, but his character stormed off in the final episode of the third season, seemingly marking the end of his on-again-off-again relationship with Emily. Darren Star, Emily in Paris’s creator, hinted at Alfie’s future in an interview with Deadline, saying: “I don’t think romantically he is in the picture. I don’t think that makes Alfie out of the show. He certainly has a reason to be in Paris, and he’s working with Gabriel. I feel like all of our characters are still connected, just in a more complicated way.”

What will be the plot of Emily in Paris season 4?

While Star hasn’t revealed specific plot points for season four, he did give fans a taste of what they can expect in his interview with Deadline. Of Emily’s relationship with Gabriel, he said: “I think that a big question to think about [in] 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.” He added that the pair and Gabriel’s ex Camille would, in all likelihood, continue to co-exist, and perhaps even remain in the same building. “They are all involved in each other’s lives, they are friends, they work together,” he continued. “They’re all very much tied together. But I just think there were some big unforeseen complications here, especially for Emily. And perhaps Emily-Gabriel is not meant to be, at least in the immediate future.”

Star also stated that we could see more of Camille’s former lover Sofia (Melia Kreiling), and will almost certainly be seeing more of Sylvie’s husband Laurent (Arnaud Binard). The theme of season four, he added, would be “how to balance business and toxic relationships, because that’s going to be happening with a lot of our characters”. And as for Mindy, who is dating Nico (Paul Forman) but due to perform at Eurovision with her ex Benoît (Kevin Dias)? “Both will be in her life,” confirmed Star. “I don’t know what the details of filming are but I think that our plan is to go to Eurovision next season. We’re all set up for it.”

And there’s another trip on the cards, too. On 17 June, Netflix released an announcement video featuring Lily Collins, in which the actor said, “While Emily’s heart will always stay true to Paris, her life takes some unexpected twists this season. Don’t be surprised to find her on a Roman holiday”. We can hardly wait.

When is the release date for Emily in Paris season 4?

Netflix has yet to confirm a release date, but in a preview of its upcoming 2024 program, the steaming platform assured us that the next season of Emily in Paris will be available by this year. We’ll take a wild guess, given that the last two seasons of Emily in Paris aired in December, it’s safe to assume that the next one will arrive towards the end of 2024 on the streaming platform. One thing’s for sure, filming has already begun on the streets of Paris. Indeed, some Internet users have caught Emily, Camille, and Gabriel in the middle of filming on the Place de l’Estrapade, a recurring location in the series, nestled in the middle of the 5th arrondissement. Another shoot, announced for February 29 by a legal statement, is still yet to be revealed.

Will there be more seasons of Emily in Paris?

It looks like it, yes. When asked by Deadline if season four will be the show’s final chapter, Star replied, “I definitely think the show has a life beyond next season. There’s no end in sight until everybody feels like it’s time to end.” Cue jubilation from fans.
