And for the second season, they have more opportunity to act in French because there are a lot more scenes in French.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecond season, there are going to be some scenes where [Emily is] not present and we\u2019re going to hear the French characters talking to each other in French \u2014 and they\u2019re even better in their own language.

I couldn\u2019t be happier to be back in Paris for Season 2 to expand upon those lessons, to continue to grow, and learn even more about this beautiful city and all of its character with Emily\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With filming now in progress, it\u2019s possible that season two could land on our screens by\u00a0<strong>early 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Emily in Paris season 2 cast<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s no Emily in Paris without Lily Collins of course, so we\u2019ll see the actress reprise the titular role, alongside Ashley Park (Mindy), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel) and Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Emily\u2019s glamorous yet scary French boss Sylvie).<\/p>\n<p>You can also count on Camille Razat, who plays Emily\u2019s friend and Gabriel\u2019s girlfriend Camille, returning for season two considering the amount of drama that\u2019s likely been caused by Emily and Gabriel getting together in the season finale.<\/p>\n<p>We have a feeling that Emily\u2019s love life will also be turned upside down by the arrival of a bad-boy Brit played by Lucien Laviscount (Coronation Street, Waterloo Road) \u2013 though she dislikes him to start, it\u2019s said that our girl Emily will eventually see the charm in his dry, sarcastic wit.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy O.

Whoever made this is clearly having fun with the clich\u00e9s. As viewers, we\u2019re being played with here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an interview <a href=\"\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/uk\/entertainment\/a34343024\/emily-in-paris-lucas-bravo-backlash-response\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\">Cosmopolitan<\/a>, the show\u2019s French star Lucas Bravo agreed with the criticism, saying: \u201cWe\u2019re portraying clich\u00e9s and we\u2019re portraying one single vision of Paris. Paris is one of the most diverse cities in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In September 2021, creator Darren Star addressed the controversy, telling <a href=\"\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-news\/darren-star-emily-in-paris-backlash-1234995876\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>: \u201cHonestly, I <em>was<\/em> surprised that people would ever be offended by anything in the show. It\u2019s a lighthearted romantic comedy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI kept thinking, \u201cNobody can really be that thin-skinned\u201d \u2014 we\u2019re poking fun at a clich\u00e9, but they\u2019re clich\u00e9s that everyone has experienced at one time or another, both from the American point of view and the French point of view. That\u2019s what it\u2019s about. If it were about a character who came to France and spoke perfect French and knew her place in a French company and behaved according to all the cultural dictates, there wouldn\u2019t be a show.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What will happen in Emily in Paris season 2?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" style=\"padding-bottom:\"> <img class=\"&quot;wp-image-911994\" align=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/EIP_105_Unit_00357R-aa336e6.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" width=\"&quot;620&quot;\" height=\"&quot;413&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;Camille\" title=\"&quot;netflix-emily-in-paris-season-2-release-date&quot;\" \/><\/div><div class=\"&quot;caption-hold&quot;\"><figcaption class=\"&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;caption-copy&quot;\"><i class=\"&quot;icon-arrow\" \/> Camille and Emily in Emily in Paris<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\"> <i>Netflix<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<p><strong>**WARNING \u2013 SPOILERS FOR SEASON ONE**<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Recently, Emily In Paris creator Darren Star revealed that season two will see Emily assimilate the French culture a bit more, with the producer telling <a href=\"\/\/variety.com\/2021\/tv\/news\/emily-in-paris-season-2-french-culture-darren-star-interview-1234966192\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\">Variety<\/a> that in series one, she was overwhelmed by the city\u2019s beauty. \u201cI think, perhaps a ot of viewers who lived in Paris for a long time didn\u2019t quite understand that this was through the lens of a character who was experiencing the city for the first time. That\u2019s how she was perceiving it \u2014 she was really struck by the beauty that was all around her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that \u201cEmily will embrace the city a little bit more\u201d, adding: \u201cWhen she got there, she got a bit of a free pass in the beginning and I don\u2019t think it will be quite as easy for her in second season. I think she will be more assimilated, in terms of living in Paris and stepping up to the challenges of learning the language.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for Emily\u2019s love life, Emily in Paris\u2019 first outing left viewers with a satisfying yet messy ending. After 10 episodes of unbearable sexual tension, stolen kisses and the typical problems that come with a love triangle, Emily (Lily Collins) and her neighbour Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) got intimate with one another, with Emily under the impression that Gabriel is about to leave for Normandy to open his own restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>However, in the show\u2019s very last scene, we watch as Emily\u2019s client Antoine (William Abadie) has offers Gabriel financial funding, which will allow him to buy a restaurant in Paris and means that he\u2019ll be sticking around for the long-term.<\/p> <p>Season two will undoubtedly explore the fallout of Emily and Gabriel getting together, especially since Gabriel\u2019s girlfriend and Emily\u2019s friend Camille (Camille Razat) won\u2019t be best pleased with the pair\u2019s antics. Will Emily and Gabriel make a go of it or will Emily prioritise her friendship with Camille?<\/p>\n<p>However, according to Bravo, Emily and Camille\u2019s relationship may head in a completely different direction, which the first series \u201cplanted a few seeds\u201d about.<\/p>\n<p>He told <a href=\"\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/entertainment\/celebs\/a34314614\/lucas-bravo-gabriel-emily-in-paris-interview\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\">Cosmopolitan<\/a>, \u201cLike, Camille, when she kisses Emily on the mouth, and she\u2019s like, \u2018I\u2019m not sorry.\u2019 And then when they\u2019re in bed, and I\u2019m liking the picture, it\u2019s all little seeds. Anything could happen between the three of them. I think Darren wants this second season to be really open-minded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While in an interview with <a href=\"\/\/www.vogue.co.uk\/arts-and-lifestyle\/article\/lily-collins-emily-in-paris-interview&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\">Vogue UK<\/a>, Collins predicted that the next season will \u201ccreate more love triangle drama\u201d, adding: \u201cThere are tons of little moments where you\u2019re like, \u2018\u2026Does Camille like Emily?\u2019 You can\u2019t really get a vibe, and I feel like that ambiguity is what keeps Emily intrigued.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think anyone in that position would be like, you\u2019re my friend, but now I have this romantic connection [with Gabriel], and I don\u2019t want to hurt you, but\u2026 Oh my God! So, you know what, it\u2019s really confusing,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Deadline in February 2021, Collins said that while she\u2019s not sure what will happen in season two, she thinks \u201cit would be a little early\u201d for Emily to \u201clock something in\u201d with Gabriel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think she\u2019s still exploring the prospects. Honestly I think Emily doesn\u2019t even know [what will happen], and that\u2019s the beauty of the way that they write the show. She has yet to find all the qualities she maybe is looking for.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut that being said, there is that connection with Gabriel, but now she has Camille in that love triangle, so I think there\u2019s still experiences to be had, adventure to be had and she\u2019s still finding herself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added that with Mindy having moved in with Emily during the series finale, season two is set to be full of fun. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to hopefully see what madness ensues there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also the possibility that series two could see Emily travel to the UK, with Collins telling <a href=\"\/\/www.harpersbazaar.com\/culture\/film-tv\/a34361059\/lily-collins-emily-in-paris-bazaar-interview\/&quot;\">Harper\u2019s Bazaar<\/a>: \u201cAt some point, I was joking with Darren and said, \u2018Couldn\u2019t they just, like, hop on the Eurostar and, like, have a British excursion?\u2019 I think it could be Emily going to all these different places.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s Emily in \u2026 and then insert the city. She could just take the train and go all over Europe, and Mindy and her could go together,\u201d she said. \u201cI think that there\u2019s so much personality that we can dive into more in the second season if we get to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emily in Paris is available to stream on Netflix. <b>Looking for something else to watch?
