Distribution company Protagonist Pictures is handling the worldwide sales and will be looking to find a buyer at this year's Cannes market.
Laviscount joined the cast of Emily in Paris in season two and is still a part of the main cast for the show's upcoming fourth season.

In December last year, Laviscount shared his hopes for his character in season four after the hectic season three finale.
"I personally need closure on certain things, whatever that might look like," Laviscount.
"So I guess with Alfie and Emily, whether it be closure or a friendship or whatever, to explore that? I know it's been explored [a little], but I think their relationship is different than what Gabriel's and Emily's was. So it'd be interesting to explore that. But, like I say, I'm all in for whatever."
Emily in Paris seasons 1-3 are streaming on Netflix. Season 4 has been confirmed.
