In an interview with Oprah Daily, creator Darren Star said Season 2 has a different feeling since the "culture shock" theme that dominated Season 1 isn't so prevalent. After all, Emily knows a little bit more about life in Paris. "In season 2, 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," Star explained. "She'll have her feet on the ground a little more. She's making a life there."

The show also has another curveball for Emily. Lucien Laviscount (Scream Queens) joined the cast as another new love interest, Alfie, an English banker who is also in Emily's French class.

This all means the central love triangle has been promoted to a "love square." In episode 3 of Season 2, Emily faces a turning point. She "has to deal with the consequences of some of her, I want to call them, decisions," Star told PEOPLE.

One of the show's breakout characters is Mindy Chen, played by Ashley Park. Mindy became Emily's first friend in Paris and is now hoping to revive her singing career. In Season 1, she joined a drag club just for a chance to sing on stage, and in Season 2, she finds a band to join.

"I'm most excited song-wise," Park told PEOPLE. "Obviously, I get to sing a lot of different genres [throughout the season] but the original song we did for the finale, I hope people are like, 'Oh my gosh, what song is this?'"

I can't help but love #EmilyInParis. Yeah, it's a bit trite.
But it's recreates the oddities lived by expats in Paris. It mocks Americans abroad, just as it teases Parisians, too.
But the one thing it doesn't mock is Paris itself. It's a paean to the beauty & vitality of Paris. https://t.co/Mgm5Lmne0Y

Although Emily in Paris hasn't been a big hit with critics, the first season was surprisingly nominated for the Outstanding Comedy Series award at the Primetime Emmys earlier this year. It was one of the most-watched comedies on Netflix last year. If the show's second season does just as well, a Season 3 renewal shouldn't be far behind.
