Yahoo News A New ‘Emily in Paris’ Trailer Shows Emily in Rome...with a New Man
Spoilers below.
Emily in Paris’ midseason finale didn’t end on a cliffhanger, but it does have quite a few threads to tie up. Shockingly, most of the drama in the fourth season of the Netflix hit is not related to Emily, who has often found herself in sticky situations.
In the fourth season, Emily is all about her convictions. In her love triangle between Gabriel and Alfie, she follows her gut and chooses Gabriel. (Poor Alfie couldn’t even get a proper break-up conversation, but hey, we never said she was perfect!) Her colleagues at work also seem to hate her less, with Sylvie beginning to admit that she might even like Emily just a little bit.
But things aren’t so great for the rest of the characters, who are experiencing various levels of heartbreak and desire in their personal and professional lives. The second half of season 4 is a month away, and here’s what we know about how the season will wrap up.
When does Emily in Paris season 4 part 2 come out?
The second half of the fourth season will hit Netflix on September 12.
How many episodes will part 2 include?
The second half of the season will conclude with five episodes.
What will Emily in Paris season 4 part 2 be about?
When we leave Emily at the end of the fifth episode, things are actually quite blissful for our gal. She’s crushing it at work (as per usual) and she’s finally getting a taste of what it feels like to date Gabriel, the chef and neighbor she’s been circling for the three prior seasons. But while Emily and Gabriel are both committed to one another, there’s a third party that may interrupt their blissful union: Gabriel’s ex Camille.
Season 3 ended with Camille and Gabriel’s failed wedding, though she revealed that she was pregnant with his child. Her heart was with Sofia, an Athens-based artist whom she worked with, but after they tried moving in together, they realized it was not happily ever after. In the midseason finale, Sofia packed her bags and Camille stared longingly at Gabriel and Emily’s newfound love, absolutely radiating with jealousy. By episode’s end, Camille finds out that she’s not pregnant—and never had been—but opts not to tell Gabriel right away so as not to burst the illusion of a family with him.
Alfie likely won’t make an appearance again this season—four is a crowd, after all—and Mindy is dealing with the heartbreak of Nicholas trying to sweep his father’s behavior under the rug. But Mindy still has Eurovision to prepare for and a whole closet of outfits to sell to pay for it. Similarly, Sylvie’s world is also slightly little less settled: There’s likely to be some fallout in the aftermath of her speaking out about her former boss’s sexual assault allegations, and Luc seems to be hellbent on getting a raise, despite going about it in the wrong way.
Creator Darren Star also promised that Emily would be jet-setting in season 4, which we didn’t see much of in the first batch of episodes. “Emily finds herself with a busy travel schedule,” Star told Tudum. “From the French Alps to the piazzas of Rome, viewers will vicariously experience amazing new locations through Emily’s eyes. Expect new characters, a lot more drama, romance, and a whole new language to try and master.” Lily Collins added, “While Emily’s heart will always remain true to Paris, her life takes some unexpected twists this season. Don’t be surprised to find her on a Roman holiday.”
Later, the actor shared a sneak peek, posting a photo on Instagram of her character riding on the back of a moped. “A little something to tide you over until September 12—a first look at @emilyinparis season four, part TWO!!” she captioned the snap. “Let’s see what happens when Emily takes a little Roman holiday...”
Official photos shared by Netflix showed Emily exploring Rome, perhaps with a new romantic interest—while an official trailer hinted at more to come. As Camille drives a wedge further between Gabriel and Emily, and Sylvie needs Emily to finesse a business deal, Emily must do something spontaneous (a very un-Emily move, as she says herself in the trailer). Gabriel could be old news, and Emily might fall in love in the romantic city of Rome.
Starr got a kick out of warning fans that things are definitely not happily ever after where she and Gabriel are concerned.
“I did want to make it satisfying. I did want to give them a moment of really finding each other and feeling that spark that’s always been between them and getting to have some really lovely moments together, but at the same time, there are complications in this relationship that aren’t gonna go away,” he told Deadline in an interview published August 17. “As part two continues, once that infatuation, the rose-colored glasses come off, you really start to see the person you’re with and that there’s a real person behind the fantasy. That’s what happens with both of them in part two.”
If nothing else, it seems like the back half of the season will be jam packed, and we’re ready for an expanded European adventure…and maybe an Italian lover to add to Emily’s collection?
Will season 4 be the last season of Emily in Paris?
Seasons 3 and 4 were renewed at the same time, and the double renewal made some question whether the series was setting up its end game. “I definitely think the show has a life beyond next season. It’s not necessarily conceived as a final chapter. I think like every other show, it’s a rich ensemble. There’s no end in sight until everybody feels like it’s time to end,” Star told Deadline after season 3 dropped. “And I don’t think this show is limited by a number of seasons, I think it’s limited by everybody’s enthusiasm and excitement about doing it and telling stories about these characters.”
There was some speculation that there would be another renewal when a guest role in Emily in Paris season 5 was auctioned at the Amfar Gala in Cannes in May, but the program later clarified that the prize is contingent upon whether a fifth season is greenlit. In the meantime, we’re still waiting on Netflix to make a formal announcement.
