Emily In Paris is returning for a fourth season which lead star Lily Collins has promised will be full of ‘adventure.’
Lily, 35, who stars as American Emily Cooper in the Netflix show, has confirmed the upcoming episodes will land on the global streaming platform in two parts.
The first five shows will be available to watch on August 15 with viewers having to wait almost an entire month for the second instalment in September.
And the cast, including Lucien Laviscount, 31, who plays Emily’s Brit love interest Alfie and Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, 61, aka her Parisian boss Sylvie, say the new season is going to bring more drama than ever before.
Lucien branded the series ‘chaotic’ and ‘heartbreaking’ while Philippine gave a taste of the action by saying the new episodes are all about ‘revenge.’
On Friday, Lily announced: ‘Season four comes out this August 15 for part one. Part two drops on September 12, you’re welcome.’
In an accompanying video, Lily and her co-stars answered in three words how they would describe the new series, with Camille Razat, 30, whose character discovered she was pregnant at the end of season three, saying it’s ‘messy.’
Ashley Park, 32, who plays Emily’s best friend Mindy Chen, joked: ‘If I could describe season four in three words right now… not finished yet…’
Luca, one of Emily’s French colleagues acted by Bruno Gouery, hinted towards a possible new love interest for the marketing executive, calling the series ‘Bellezza’ which is ‘beauty’ in Italian.
His tease follows new photographs of the upcoming series which showed Emily looking lovingly at a handsome man, played by actor Eugenio Franceschini, during scenes filmed in Rome, Italy, at the Trevi Fountain.
Emily hasn’t had the best luck with dating since relocating from Chicago to Paris in pursuit of her dream marketing job.
She fell for neighbour Gabriel aka Lucas Bravo, 36, despite the chef being in an on/off relationship with her close friend Camille.
And her romance with Brit Alfie came to a dramatic end when Camille refused to marry Gabriel in the series three finale, revealing she had always known about his hidden feelings for Emily.
There are secrets yet to be exposed including Camille’s affair with artist Sofia, which Emily knows about, but Gabriel remains unaware.
Plus, the major revelation of Camille’s pregnancy, which will leave any possible chance of a romance between Emily and Gabriel even harder to navigate.
Emily In Paris was created by Sex and the City writer Darren Star, who has admitted he understands why viewers have made comparisons between Lily’s character and Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker.
He said: ‘I get why people will link the two series. Each takes place in a glamorous city with a female lead but the idea of Emily In Paris was very different. I’ve wanted to write a show about an expatriate living in Paris for quite some time.’
