Emily in Paris season 4 is on the way and fans couldn't be more excited to see the next installment of the romantic comedy after that cliffhanger at the end of Emily in Paris season 3. 

Viewers can't get enough of Lily Collins as the loveable social media manager, but it isn't just Emily's eye-catching Parisian wardrobe that has hooked fans on the show. There is also the rollercoaster that is Emily's love life which has seen the love triangle between sexy French chef Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and hot British banker Alfie (Lucien Laviscount) take so many twists and turns that it's made us dizzy. 

After Emily in Paris season 3 landed on Netflix following a hugely popular Emily in Paris season 2 and Emily in Paris season 1, fans were waiting to see who Emily would choose between Gabriel or Alfie. 

But while we now know that Emily picked her British boyfriend... nothing is ever that simple in Emily's world, and now there is a (baby) bump in Emily's road to happiness. 

If you need a refresher on what happened at the end of season 3, then check out our Emily in Paris season three ending explained feature — but in the meantime, here is everything we know about Emily in Paris season 4 so far...

Emily in Paris season 4 release date 

It came as welcome news to Emily in Paris fans that the show was commissioned for a fourth season at the same time as Emily in Paris season 3 was confirmed. 

We now know that the first 5 episodes of Emily in Paris season 4 will land on Netflix on Thursday, August 15, 2024.

The second half of the season will land on Netflix on Thursday, September 12, meaning we will have a month to wait to see what will happen in the remaining five episodes.

The news about the release date was revealed in a video with Lily in May 2024 which you can watch below... 

Emily in Paris season 4 cast

Of course Lily Collins will be back as fashionista Emily because it wouldn't be Emily in Paris without, well... Emily! 

Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu is set to return as Emily's boss, Sylvie, plus her hilarious co-workers Julien (Samuel Arnold) and Luc (Bruno Gouery). 

Also returning is Ashley Park as Emily's best friend, Mindy, while Lucas Bravo (Mrs Harris Goes to Paris) returns as handsome chef Gabriel, along with Camille Razat who plays Emily's frenemy, Camille.

Viewers will know that British banker Alfie, played by former Coronation Street star Lucien Laviscount walked out at the end of season 3 after finding out from Camille that Emily was secretly in love with Gabriel. This left his future on the show hanging in the balance, but Netflix has confirmed that Lucien is back as Emily's love interest

What happens in Emily in Paris season 4?

What can we expect from season 4? Netflix says: "After the dramatic events of Camille and Gabriel’s misbegotten wedding, Emily is reeling: She has strong feelings for two men, but now Gabriel’s expecting a baby with his ex, and Alfie’s worst fears about her and Gabriel have been confirmed.

"At work, Sylvie is forced to confront a thorny dilemma from her past for the sake of her marriage, and the Agence Grateau team navigates personnel shakeups. Mindy and the band prepare for Eurovision, but when funds run dry, they’re forced to get thrifty.

"Emily and Gabriel’s chemistry is undeniable as they work together towards a Michelin star, but two big secrets threaten to undo everything they’ve dreamed of." WE. CAN'T. WAIT!

Another thing we DO know is that Emily won't just be staying in Paris for season 4. 

In a recent video filmed for Tudum (Netflix's annual global fan event), Lily Collins teased what we can expect from the new season and while she didn't give much away, she did reveal that Emily will be going to Rome for a "Roman holiday". You can see her video below...
