'Emily in Paris' Season 2: Release Date and More Updates

Teaser
Netflix released a teaser for Emily in Paris Season 2 back in September, along with the release date. It seems to show the titular character more laid back than usual, though fans doubt that can last all season.
Renewal
Emily in Paris premiered in October of 2020 and it was renewed quickly in November. This means that the show performed relatively well, though Netflix has not published any detailed ratings or metrics. Typically, the company decides on a show's renewal based on its performance in its first four weeks, so this quick pick-up for Emily is a good sign.
Production
Netflix confirmed that Emily in Paris Season 2 began filming in May of 2021. Production times can vary greatly from show to show, so this didn't help us pin down a release date, but it did provide hope that the new season is coming.
Teaser
Netflix has released another "teaser" for Emily in Paris Season 2 this summer, apparently filmed during the coronavirus pandemic, as the entire cast seemed to be in isolation. All of them excitedly promoted the catchphrase "Deux is better than Un."
Cast
Speaking of the cast, series creator Darren Star has confirmed that all of the actors in Season 1 will return in Season 2. During an interview with Oprah Magazine in November, he confirmed that Lily Collins, Lucas Bravo, Camille Razat and Ashley Park will all be back, as will the Savoir employees Philippin Leroy-Beaulieu, Samuel Arnold and Bruna Gouery.
Growth
Star also teased some major character development for Emily in Season 2. He said: "In season two, she's going to be more of a part of the fabric of the world she's living in. She'll be more of a resident of the city. She'll have her feet on the ground a little more. She's making a life there."
In another interview with E! News, Star said: "I think Emily has some surprising tough choices. The show's so much about the culture undermining her expectations of how things are and how things seem. And everything will not be as it seems. It's always about challenging her American worldview. We certainly have a lot of forks in the road and a lot of places to go."
Mindy
Ashley Park gave an interview with Oprah Magazine as well, where she speculated about where her character Mindy is heading. She hinted that she would love to see Mindy find her own romance in Paris, but that she's game for whatever comes her way.
"I know I'm in good hands. I trust what's planned. But a love interest would be fun," she said. "But the most important thing to me is the friendship with Emily."
Collins, too said she wants to see Mindy mixing it up in Season 2. She said: "I'm excited for Mindy to move into the apartment building because I feel like that's going to cause some mayhem. I just think she's going to throw a wrench into the situation, and I'm imagining apartment game nights or something."
Love Triangle
Whatever is next, the whole cast is pretty sure that a love triangle between Emily, Gabriel and Camille will be a big part of it. Collins told the magazine that she has even considered the possibility of a romance between Camille and Emily, saying: "There are tons of little moments where you're like, '... Does Camille like Emily?' You can't really get a vibe, and I feel like that ambiguity is what keeps Emily intrigued."
"I feel like the next season will only create more love triangle drama, although maybe Emily will have a little bit of a stronger handle on the situation," she went on. "Or maybe not."
Memo
Finally, for those who haven't seen it, Netflix released a fictional "memo" from Savoir when it announced Emily in Paris Season 2. The post may just be a joke, or it may have some real hints about where the series is heading. Read the memo from Sylvie (Leroy-Beaulieu) below:
"Despite her overconfident manner and lack of prior experience in luxury goods marketing, she has nonetheless managed to charm some of our hard-to-impress clients during her short time at Savoir," it reads. "Call it Bonne chance, or American ingenuity — I'm leaning towards the former — her results are impressive. We love having Emily in Paris! But please don't let her know that."
Emily in Paris Season 2 has no official release date yet. Season 1 is streaming on Netflix now.
