Get ready to pack your designer bags, because our favourite American in Paris is back for another season of fashion, romance, and career chaos! Emily In Paris is returning for season four, and it looks like Emily Cooper's Parisian adventures are about to get even wilder.
Fresh off the heels of a tumultuous season three finale, which saw Emily caught in a web of love triangles and surprise pregnancies, the new episodes promise to be a whirlwind of "vulnerable", "messy", and "chaotic" drama, according to the cast themselves.
As the trailer hints, sometimes what we want is not what we need. So true, Netflix. So true!

But of course, it wouldn't be Emily In Paris without some serious style moments as well. The newly released photos showcase Emily's bold and colourful winter wardrobe, hinting at glamorous ski getaways and cosy nights out in the City of Light. And with undeniable chemistry brewing between Emily and Chef Gabriel, even as two big secrets threaten to undo everything, we're in for a wild ride.
Why was Emily In Paris season 4 delayed?
Devoted fans have been eagerly awaiting Emily's return to their screens, but the path to season four hasn't been without its obstacles. Production on the new episodes was originally slated to begin in late summer or early fall of 2023.
However, the Hollywood writers' strike led to an unexpected delay. Undeterred, the cast and crew rallied together and officially started filming on January 19, 2024 in Paris. While the delay may have felt interminable for viewers, it speaks to the dedication of Emily In Paris fans that they think it will be well worth the wait.
See the best on-set photos from Emily In Paris.
The streaming giant has just released a series of first-look images from season four, and they are overflowing with bold outfits and glimpses of the drama to come.
In one photo, Emily sports an oversized beige teddy bear coat and sailor cap while pulling a light blue suitcase. Another shows her bright red coat and beret (of course)!
The sneak peeks also tease both a steamy moment with Gabriel and a frosty encounter with his ex-fiancée Camille.
But the iconic looks don't end with Emily. We get a colourful look at her ever-chic best friend Mindy, with the duo wearing coordinating bold outfits - Emily in a yellow leather jacket and Mindy in a structured peplum minidress. Seems like season four is going to be filled with some serious fashion inspo.
In late July, Netflix dropped a second batch of images, and let's just say, Emily and Alfie look cosy.
What happened in Emily in Paris season 3?
*Spoiler alert for Emily in Paris season 3
Season three ended with a string of bombshells. The finale found Emily at the centre of another romantic predicament at Gabriel and Camille's wedding. Just as the couple was about to say "I do," Camille had a change of heart. She proclaimed that Gabriel has been in love with Emily since the moment they met, and she couldn't go through with the marriage.
This revelation prompted Emily's beau Alfie to break things off, encouraging her to pursue Gabriel instead. But in a final twist, Gabriel confessed to Emily that the reason he and Camille were rushing to the altar was because Camille is pregnant with his baby. With cliffhangers swirling around paternity questions, unresolved feelings, and fractured friendships, season four is poised to be a powder keg of unfinished business.
What is the plot of Emily in Paris season 4?
While exact story details remain under wraps, we do have some clues about the entanglements and career challenges that await Emily. Per Netflix, season four will find our heroine "reeling" after Gabriel and Camille's ill-fated nuptials. Torn between two men, Emily's dilemma is further complicated by the fact that Gabriel is expecting a baby with his ex, and Alfie's worst fears about them have been confirmed.
Lily Collins herself teased that Emily will be doing some travelling, so don't be surprised to see her embark on a Roman holiday. Back in Paris, Sylvie faces a "thorny dilemma" from her past that threatens her marriage, while Mindy and her band strive to get to Eurovision on a shoestring budget. Most intriguingly, Emily and Gabriel's "undeniable" chemistry will be on display as they pursue a Michelin star for his restaurant, but "two big secrets" could derail everything.
Who is cast in Emily In Paris season 4?
Lily Collins of course returns as the effervescent Emily, along with major players Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Camille Razat (Camille), Ashley Park (Mindy), Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie), Samuel Arnold (Julien), and Bruno Gouery (Luc).
Despite his character Alfie's crushing exit in the season three finale, Lucien Laviscount is also expected to return in some capacity. Series creator Darren Star hinted that while Alfie may no longer be a romantic prospect for Emily, his professional ties to Gabriel will likely keep him in the mix.
Other supporting characters, like William Abadie's Antoine, are also slated to appear.
When will Emily In Paris season 4 be released?
Netflix has announced that the highly anticipated fourth season of Emily In Paris will be released in two parts. Part one, featuring the first five episodes, will premiere on August 15, 2024. Part two, with the remaining five episodes, will follow a month later on September 12, 2024.
