At a time when riveting dramas such as The Crown landed a fateful conclusion, Netflix has started to actively tug on the light-hearted side of affairs. Not long after the likes of Stranger Things and Wednesday received filming updates, its romantic drama, Emily in Paris, following Lily Collins’ character, has received one of its own. The heart-tugger, which started back in 2020, swiftly covered three seasons along with a swooning storyline.

Now, all eyes await its fourth iteration as an official glimpse of the same came straight from the lead actress herself.

Lily Collins breaks the news on the next season of Emily in Paris

A surprise wedding, a rejection at the altar, and a pregnancy revelation highlighted the third season of the Netflix romance drama. While the final episode of its third season aired back in December 2022, the fourth, though green-lit, lacked any updates. Taking to Instagram, the official account of the show greeted fans with “Bonjour from Paris!” while announcing that the fourth season now stood lined up for active production.

The message remained adorned by Lily Collins, who held the table read for the first episode of the fourth season in her hands. Directed by Andy Fleming, the draft carried the date of January 17, 2024, implying that the developments had already taken place. Additionally, judging by Netflix’s tradition of a winter release, Emily in Paris season four may likely land somewhere in December 2024 or early 2025 in the worst case.

The announcement lit up a smile on many faces who stood waiting for the fourth season and the romance between Gabriel and Emily.

“We need it now!” – Fans recall the sense of heart warmth in the Netflix romance

Created by Darren Star, the three seasons of Emily in Paris, instilled a sense of radiating romance as Lily Collins’ character struggled to balance her feelings alongside work and friends. The fathomable relatability it brought along found many takers, and the series landed a 6.9 out of 10 on IMDb. Finally, the fourth season will continue the tryst of the heart, with Emily choosing between Alfie and Gabriel and mending her relationship with Mindy.

The “cannot wait” season has begun.

As for a bulk of Netflix productions, Emily in Paris also suffered a fate similar to that of Deadpool 3 – delays. The twin Hollywood strikes pushed back the show’s timeline by a few months. Additionally, the fate of the fourth season remained in question owing to the overrun schedule. Regardless, the revival has come at a much-needed time of respite for fans and the streamer’s catalog as a whole.
