In the latest developments, Emily Cooper, the dynamic character essayed by Lily Collins in Emily in Paris, is primed to resurface in Season 4 after a shocking end to the third season. With her renewed single status and a work life flourishing under Sylvie’s (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) stewardship, Emily has sparked significant anticipation among viewers. Season 4 was greenlit by Netflix prior to the release of the third installment, promising fans another stylish journey through Paris (and potentially another European city). Although many aspects about Emily in Paris‘ forthcoming season remain undisclosed, we are here to demystify the known elements.
When Should We Expect the Release of Emily in Paris Season 4?
As yet, there are no official revelations from either Netflix or the cast about the precise release date for Season 4. However, considering the trend set by previous seasons, which premiered around Christmas, it’s plausible that the show could be back on screens by the end of this year. It remains to be seen whether the ongoing WGA Strike might impede the release of the Netflix original in 2023.
Is there an Emily in Paris Season 4 Trailer?
No official trailer for the fourth season of Emily in Paris has been released to date, but stay tuned as we will provide updates as soon as one becomes available. Meanwhile, the lead actress, Lily Collins, provided some insight during the TUDUM Netflix event held on June 17, suggesting what to expect in the next phase of Emily’s exciting life and potential new locations for the series.
What Can We Expect from the Plot of Emily in Paris Season 4?
During her announcement, Collins posed some burning questions from fans concerning the narrative and characters for the upcoming season:
“So much happened that we just need answers to. Is Alfie still heartbroken? Will Gabriel get his Michelin star? Will Mindy and the band go to Eurovision? And what about Camille? Will Sylvie’s rekindled love last?”
While we don’t yet have an official synopsis for Season 4, Collins’ intriguing queries suggest that the suspenseful climax of Season 3 will serve as the launching pad for a fresh set of episodes in the series.
Beyond her questions about the characters, Collins also hinted at challenging decisions for Emily in the new season, which might include kindling a romantic relationship with Gabriel (played by Lucas Bravo). An allusion to a “Roman holiday” could be a veiled suggestion of Emily exploring Italy after her Parisian adventures.
Which Cast Members Will We See in Emily in Paris Season 4?
Even without an official Netflix cast list for Season 4, Collins’ announcement gives hope that we’ll be seeing some favorite characters once more. Collins is undoubtedly reprising her role as the influential social media marketer, Emily Cooper. Gabriel, played by Bravo, has been Emily’s love interest since the inception of the series, yet their relationship has remained platonic. But with the termination of Gabriel’s impending marriage to Camille (Camille Razat), the pathway to a romantic entanglement with Emily seems clear, indicating a pivotal role for him in the upcoming season. Other characters Collins referenced include Camille, Mindy (Ashley Park), and Sylvie, suggesting they will feature in Season 4. The future of Alfie’s character (Lucien Laviscount), now that he and Emily are no longer an item, is uncertain. Showrunner Darren Starr shared his insights with Deadline:
“I don’t think romantically he is in the picture [anymore]. 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.”
Starr also referenced Melia Kreling, who portrayed Camille’s Greek lover in Season 3, hinting at a potential return:
“I think quite possibly we could see more of her. I don’t know that that is a relationship that’s over, and I think that there was a romantic spark between the two of them that I feel like we’ve never seen between Camille and Gabriel. I feel like there’s like some real passion there between the two of them.”
When and Where Will Emily in Paris Season 4 Be Filmed?
The shooting for Season 4 was scheduled to commence in late summer or early fall, but the WGA Strike has reportedly caused a setback. The upcoming season’s shooting timeline is now expected to commence in late fall, barring further delays due to the strike. France is likely to remain the primary filming location, but given Collins’ hint of Emily’s Roman adventure, Italy could also feature in the shooting itinerary.
Who Is the Driving Force Behind Emily in Paris Season 4?
Darren Starr, the creator of Sex and the City, continues as the showrunner for Emily in Paris, overseeing the narrative and creative decisions for Season 4. In addition to his thoughts on the cast shared with Deadline, Starr also spoke to TV Guide about the themes we can expect in the forthcoming season:
“Season 4 is going to be more about navigating complicated relationships; personal relationships and work relationships, and how they come into conflict with each other…Emily is still going to be working with Alfie, Gabriel, and Camille. Those work relationships are really fraught with emotional conflicts.”
In conclusion, Season 4 of Emily in Paris holds great promise of delivering another round of thrilling romantic and professional entanglements set against the enchanting backdrop of European cities. With the return of familiar faces and the introduction of new ones, along with the allure of Emily’s Roman holiday, the upcoming season is expected to enthrall viewers worldwide.
