The last time we saw our favourite overachiever, it was a tad dramatic — with many viewers left reeling over a cliffhanger ending that had big consequences for Emily’s future love life. Thankfully, it’s now time to find out how everything plays out. So grab a coffee, get comfy and read on to discover everything you need to know about Emily in Paris season 4.

During the season’s final moments, we saw Camille and Gabriel’s wedding fall apart at the last minute, setting the scene for Emily’s growing romance with Gabriel to progress. However, before this plan had time to settle in, our heroine is served another curveball as Gabriel informs her that his MIA fiancée is pregnant.

Meanwhile, Sylvie is set to be confronted by a difficult issue from her past, while Mindy’s plans to enter Eurovision hit funding issues, forcing her band to raise money in any way they can.

Relationship dramas aside, one of the biggest shake ups in store for Emily In Paris season 4 involves geography and the weather, with a portion of the series set to take place in Rome and during a wintery Paris.

This last tweak marks a change from the show’s familiar depictions of sunny streets, with series executive producer and director Andrew Fleming saying: “We’re getting a different textural feel of Paris.

“It was fun to think about the city in a different way for scenes that are more dramatically oriented, and to see Paris not all sunny and flowery but to see it a little grey and cozier and people in coats and dark skies. It’s just as beautiful during the winter, if not more so.” ​​

Meanwhile, show creator Star teased a new texture awaiting audiences in season 4.

“Emily finds herself with a busy travel schedule in season 4 of Emily in Paris. From the French Alps to the piazzas of Rome, viewers will vicariously experience amazing new locations through Emily’s eyes,” he told Netflix. Expect new characters, a lot more drama, romance, and a whole new language to try and master.”
