Emily in Paris is the brainchild of Darren Star. The romantic comedy series premiered on Netflix on October 2, 2020. It tells the story of Lily Collins as Emily Cooper, a young marketing executive from Chicago who lands a job in Paris at a French marketing firm. Assigned with the task of bringing the American perspective to their business, from then on, she is considered the fish out of the water, stuck in between a clash of cultures, challenging work, and heavy romantic drama in the City of Light.
Emily in Paris has gotten mixed reviews from all. Still, it rated 6.9 on IMDB and 61% on Rotten Tomatoes, which shows that it had an audience for the show aside from negative cultural representation being involved. The main cast includes Lily Collins, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Ashley Park, Lucas Bravo, Samuel Arnold, and Bruno Gouery since its premiere date.
Emily in Paris Season 4 is divided into two parts: Part 1 which has released on August 15, 2024, and Part 2 set to release on September 12, 2024. It will deal with the aftermath of the cliffhanger of Emily in Paris Season 3, detailing love triangles and pregnancies. This is one storyline that everyone has been waiting to unfold and know who will come back, so the details of the cast are huge in that respect.
The cast of Emily in Paris Season 4 and the characters they play
1) Lily Collins plays Emily Cooper
Emily Cooper is a high-spirited, optimistic marketing executive who was relocated to Paris after being hired by the French marketing firm Savoir. With bright dispositions prepared, Emily charges into conflicts with great fanfare. But sometimes, her fresh-eyed naivety gets her into embranglements.
What has developed through the series into a love triangle between her, Gabriel, and Alfie became increasingly knotty by the end of Season 3. This was also when she'd broken up with Alfie to discover that Gabriel's ex-girlfriend, Camille, was pregnant.
She will probably wrestle with both emotions in Emily in Paris Season 4 as she works hard not to confuse her friendship and professional goals. It now comes with additional pressure due to Camille's pregnancy.
2) Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu plays Sylvie Grateau
Sylvie Grateau is Emily's boss, witty, and professionally quite demanding. First off, rather sceptical about the American way of thinking, Sylvie has evolved to be much more supportive of Emily. This happened slowly, especially as she went through personal and professional matters.
At the end of Season 3, Sylvie left Savoir to start her agency, further complicating her relationship with Emily. In the fourth season, Sylvie must confront old demons that may threaten her marriage and her new business.
3) Ashley Park plays Mindy Chen
Mindy Chen is an aspiring singer who was originally an au pair and has been a close friend to Emily. She acts as the epitome of warmth, a sense of humour, and resilience. This aids in offering emotional support to Emily.
In Season 3, she began experimenting with love— a love triangle—with her childhood friend Nicolas and bandmate Benoit. In Season 4, Mindy will have to prepare for the upcoming Eurovision with her band while further developing her relationship with Nicolas. She will grow both as an artist and as a friend.
4) Lucas Bravo plays Gabriel
Gabriel is a charismatic chef who has been central to Emily's love life throughout the series, starting from Season 1. Despite being in a relationship with Camille, his feelings for Emily never fully vanish.
At the very end of Emily in Paris Season 3, he finds himself having to face reality: he is going to be a father because his current lover, Camille, is pregnant. This obviously complicates his feelings toward his ex, Emily.
In Emily in Paris Season 4, Gabriel probably will be torn between his feelings for Emily and his fatherhood responsibilities, which are getting more serious each day.
5) Camille Razat plays Camille
Camille is also introduced as Gabriel's girlfriend and Emily's friend, filled with charisma and elegance. Her relationship with Gabriel has been bumpy throughout the series, especially as Emily's presence complicates things.
Already at the beginning of season 3 of Emily in Paris, Camille has called off her wedding to Gabriel, accusing him of lingering feelings for Emily. This is before she lets him in on the truth that she is carrying his child.
Season 4 is going to be in large part about Camille's experience as a mother. It will also be about how her complicated friendships—not least of all her friendship with Emily—are gelling in the fallout from their chaotic lives.
6) Lucien Laviscount plays Alfie
First introduced to audiences in Season 2, he is a bit of a charmer and a somewhat easygoing guy who is, at that time, Emily's boyfriend. He supports her and the rest of the antics but slowly becomes wary of her increasingly strong feelings for Gabriel.
At the end of Season 3, Alfie's relationship with Emily has reached a point where it breaks off. Alfie will most likely be torn in Season 4 between his feelings for Emily and their relationship. This will likely lead to a revaluation of what they mean to each other amidst all the mayhem in Paris.
7) Bruno Gouery plays Luc
Luc is that one quirky colleague of Emily's at Savoir, known for his humour and creativity. He also gives comic relief and support to Emily as she faces challenges in Paris. His character remained a loyal friend to Emily as she adjusted to the cultural differences that came with her new life.
In Season 4 of Emily in Paris, Luc's character could focus on new professional challenges due to changes in the agency. This can allow him to develop his character and relationships with colleagues even more.
8) Samuel Arnold plays Julien
Julien, a colleague of Emily in the show Emily in Paris, is recognized for his fashionable style and over-the-top, dramatic demeanour. He often acts as a foil to Emily but offers his help and criticism as well.
Throughout the series, his character has grown to showcase a more empathetic disposition in light of pursuing professional ambitions. In Season 4, he will probably face new challenges in the agency regarding the team dynamics as a whole and his friendship with Emily.
9) William Abadie plays Antoine Lambert
He is the charismatic proprietor of Maison Lavaux and shares a somewhat complex relationship with Sylvie. He is suave, sophisticated, and charming, an asset that makes his way across the labyrinthine fashion business.
By the end of Season 3, Antoine's relationship with Sylvie becomes stressed after she decides to leave Savoir. In Season 4, viewers will see how Antoine adapts to these changes and changes his relationship with Sylvie accordingly while continuing to have strong professional ambitions.
10) Jean-Christophe Bouvet plays Pierre Cadault
Pierre Cadault is a famous designer who often plays the role of both mentor and opponent in Emily's journey. He is an exaggerated character, full of passion for his job, explaining all the ups and downs in fashion.
Throughout Emily in Paris, the relationship between Pierre and Emily has evolved from scepticism to a more friendly dynamic. By the end of Season 3, his rivalry with Grégory Elliot Duprée had increased.
Viewers can see Pierre facing new challenges in the fashion world in Emily in Paris Season 4. However, he will continue to have the same passion for influencing Emily's career.
