We will continue to keep you updated on her progress and accomplishments in the coming months.”
Produced by MTV Studios and created by Sex and the City‘s Darren Star, Emily in Paris follows the ambitious and bubbly, Emily Cooper who unexpectedly lands her dream job in Paris. Tasked with revamping their social media strategy and upping their clientele, the 20-something embarks on bold, fresh adventures and hilarity while finding love along the way. But as Season 2 heats up, love triangles are abounding and drama will ensue no doubt, testing the relationships she’s built during her time in the bright, romantic city.
In the press release from Netflix, Collins shares how the “most meaningful gift” she’s found playing Emily Cooper is her ability to connect with people through art in some way. “It’s an honor to be associated with a project that provided people with some much-needed relief during a trying time when everyone was looking for a reason to smile and laugh,” she said. “Not only did playing Emily teach me more about myself, but also about the world around me. I couldn’t 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.”
Season 1 of Emily in Paris is currently streaming on Netflix. For more on Emily in Paris, Lily Collins and the cast, stay tuned to the latest from PopCulture.com.
