Calling all Francophiles and hopeless romantics, Netflix has unveiled a first look at the highly-anticipated season 4 of “Emily in Paris,” the Darren Star comedy that’s equal parts fashion inspiration and Parisian escapism. For those new to the show, the first three seasons follow Emily Cooper, a young American marketing executive who lands her dream job at a Parisian firm. What unfolds is a whirlwind of cultural clashes, career challenges, and of course, a whole lot of love triangles.
Emily navigates the chic world of Parisian fashion while struggling to master the language and customs. She develops close friendships with her colleagues, particularly Mindy, an aspiring singer, and clashes (but secretly admires) her sophisticated boss, Sylvie. The biggest drama, however, revolves around Emily’s love life.
Torn between the charming chef Gabriel, her downstairs neighbor, and the kind Brit, Alfie, Emily’s heart (and loyalties) are constantly tested. Season 3 ended on a cliffhanger, with Emily caught between her feelings for Gabriel and Alfie, further complicated by the news of Gabriel’s ex, Camille, expecting his baby. The first look photos for season 4 hint at a bolder Emily, both in terms of her personality and her fashion choices.
Costume designer Marylin Fitoussi promises a “reinterpretation of Parisian fashion codes” with Emily taking more risks and asserting her own unique style. The synopsis offers a glimpse into the upcoming chaos: Emily wrestles with her.
