Netflix has released details of the highly-anticipated second season of Emily in Paris, including a release date, cast members, and some plot points.
Despite becoming renowned for its irritatingly obnoxious characters, avant-basic fashion, and aggressive American exceptionalism, the first season became one of Netflix’s most-watched series. It follows a young upstart from Chicago, Emily Cooper (Lily Collins), who moves to France to provide ‘the American point of view’ to a luxury brand agency in Paris.
A trailer for the second instalment of the hit show was revealed over the weekend at Netflix’s first-ever global fan event ‘Tundum’, which aired exclusive clips from upcoming shows. Bridgerton and Derry Girls star Nicola Coughlan introduced the teaser, saying: “We say bonjour to Paris, where Emily and the gang have a good reason to celebrate.”
If you missed the live event, don’t worry, the streaming platform has uploaded the full clip on YouTube with the caption: “Pack your bags, because this holiday season just became trés chic. Season 2 premieres December 22!” It shows Emily indulging in a glamorous holiday on the French coast in Saint-Tropez, joined by friends Mindy and Camille as they attend a lavish mansion party complete with a man playing saxophone on a Flyboard in the swimming pool.
Collins returns for the second season as Emily Cooper, as do a number of the cast from season one including Lucas Bravo, the chef who lives in the apartment below Emily, and Ashley Park and Camille Razat, who return as Mindy and Camille. Lucien Laviscount joins the show as new character Alfie.
