Lily Collins is dishing on the drama in store for “Emily in Paris” Season 4!
“Extra’s” Terri Seymour spoke with Lily, who revealed that the new season picks up soon after the wedding that didn’t happen between Gabriel and Camille, which also resulted in Alfie leaving Emily.
The new season is split into two parts.
Lily teased, “Emily is torn with this information that she’s received about a baby on the way and her then boyfriend leaving her also at the altar because he knows her feelings for Gabriel, so it’s quite messy, but I think this season you get to see choices being made and Emily having to deal with repercussions of those choices — some good, some bad — but a lot more embracing the vulnerability in those decisions. So, Emily does feel all the feelings and becomes okay with breaking down if things aren’t what she expected.”
How does Camille’s pregnancy complicate things?
Collins answered, “I think everyone’s navigating it — Sofia, Gabriel, Cami, Emily. And I think, you know, Emily loves her friends and she also loves her romantic choices, and she really wants the best for Cami. And if the best for Cami is to have everyone in each other’s lives to support her, then that’s what Emily’s willing to do, but that comes with a cost because it makes it complicated for her."
“What we see in the first five episodes, her really dealing with that complication and seeing where that leads her,” Lily shared.
Lily teased that there will be some resolution to the love triangle drama, adding, "But in pure Emily style, resolutions, they take shape and form and all of that."
Lily commented, “It’s nice to finally be able for Emily to feel comfortable in making a choice and having fun with it.”
As for what the audience will think, she shared, "I don't know! You know, there's Team Alfie, there's Team Gabriel. It's very heavy on both sides."
Emily’s fashion is almost a character unto itself, and this season, Lily said her style is evolving to be "a little bit more tailored, a bit more sophisticated and chic and pared down."
She shared, "This year, I really appreciated wearing more monochromatic, more suits, more tailoring, less heels, more, like, loafers and flats. Just a bit more, I don't know, a bit more grounded of Emily."
Besides from Emily’s changing fashion, Lily noted that her character has “become way more comfortable and confident in her surroundings” with time.
She elaborated, “She’s always been unapologetically herself, but I think now that feeling has translated into the way that she interacts with others and at work, in relationships. She’s always felt that way to herself but now she gets to communicate that to the world, and within that inner confidence comes the opportunity to be comfortable being vulnerable.”
“I do feel like once she created that safe space in Paris with those friends and those relationships, it allowed her to then just take the mask off a little bit and just feel,” Emily pointed out. “So I’m really happy that this year, there’s a bit of maturity about Emily that we haven’t seen.”
But is Emily mature enough to be a stepmom to Gabriel and Camille's baby?
"Oh my God, hilarious!" Lily answered.
Part 1 of “Emily in Paris” Season 4 is streaming August 15 on Netflix.
