Emily In Paris season two is nearly here and I thought it would be fun to dish out everything
you need to know before you binge-watch the new episodes of our favorite Parisian rom-com.
Let’s get into it!
Lily Collins is set to reprise her role as Emily, taking on the City of Lights with lots
of laughs and lots of love in between - and as the series captioned their insta post about
this season, it looks like we’re in for, “more looks, more Emily, more Paris!”
As you know if you, like us, binged the show when it premiered in October of 2020, the
series follows a 20-something American girl who moves to Paris to work in social media
at a luxury marketing firm called Savoir.
In just 10 episodes the series gave us epic views of Paris, introduced our new favorite
internet boyfriend via Lucas Bravo’s character Gabriel, and also gave us Emily’s new tried,
true, and well dressed confidant, Mindy Chen played by Ashley Park.
And though there were delays to filming season 2 because of Covid protocols and safety requirements..
In spring of this year, the cast officially announced they were back in Paris!
According to Glamour, shortly after filming commenced Lily shared a heartfelt message,
saying, “As an actor, an artist, and a creative, the most meaningful gift is to connect
with people through your art in some way.
It’s an honor to be associated with a project that provided people with some much-needed
relief during a trying time when everyone was looking for a reason to smile and laugh.”
She went on to add, “Not only did playing Emily teach me more about myself, but also
about the world around me.
I couldn’t be happier to be back in Paris for Season 2 to expand upon those lessons,
to continue to grow, and learn even more about this beautiful city and all of its character
with Emily.”
So, what do we know about this season’s plot?
Well according to Netflix, “Emily’s getting better at navigating
the city but still struggling with the idiosyncrasies of French life.
After stumbling into a love triangle with her neighbor and her first real French friend,
Emily is determined to focus on her work—which is getting more complicated by the day.”
And it looks like there’s a new love interest, since Netflix went on to share that she meets
someone named Alfie in French class who both infuriates and intrigues her… but more on
him later!
Judging by the trailer for season 2 things are definitely heating up for Emily…
“I used to be so decisive and ever since I moved to Paris my life has just been chaotic
and dramatic and complicated” “oh Emily you’re getting more French by the day”
It also looks like Emily is taking her bosses
advice and embracing the chaos..
“You’ve got the rest of your life to be
as dull as you wish but while you’re here fall in love make mistakes if you’re gonna
do Paris for one year for god sake do it right”
We also know that there will be 10 more episodes this season, with at least one featuring a
trip to St. Tropez.
Also, there will be more character development, as Lily told Deadline, "Now that we’ve seen
her with all these ‘Parisisms,’ maybe we get to actually get to a bit more of her
backstory, and experience that with some of the other characters."
She went on to explain, "But you always know with Emily you’re going to have humor
and you’re going to have adventure.
There’s going to be no shortage of that coming up — and great fashion.”

And if you’re wondering about the love triangle at the center of last season, you know Gabriel
and Camille breaking up and then Emily and Gabriel hooking up… even though Emily and
Camille were definitely friends… and in short things got complicated.
“he lives downstairs I don’t want to make it complicated” oh but sometimes the best
relationships are complicated”
Now we’ll have to watch what happens and see if we get some our burning questions answered…
Will Camille and Gabriel reunite, will it ruin Emily’s friendship with Camille when
and if she finds out?
According to what actress Camille Razat, who plays Camille on the show, told People Mag,
it will be, “A rollercoaster.”
Camille shared, "It's much more complicated.
There are much more emotional scenes.
My character is even more important.
I think season 2, it will be better than season 1, actually”
And Lucas, dropped a hint to Cosmopolitan
that to add to complications Camille might even have feelings for Emily!
He explained that the first season, "planted
a few seeds about different characters," before adding, "Like Camille, when she kisses Emily
on the mouth, and she’s like, ‘I’m not sorry.’
Lucas went on to share, "Anything could happen between the three of them."
Umm..Wild!
In other news, there will be lots of new faces added to the cast, including Jeremy O. Harris
who will play designer Gregory Elliott Durpree, Arnaud Binard who will be Laurent G the charming
owner of a St. Tropez nightclub.
And arguably the most important addition, Lucien Laviscount who plays London boy Alfie.
According to Deadline Alfie will be a quote “sarcastic and charming cynic who refuses
to speak French or immerse himself in French culture.
He and Emily have an antagonist relationship that evolves into something more as the season
progresses."
