The upcoming season of “Emily in Paris” promises to continue offering viewers daring fashion, flirty romance, and workplace drama, much like the previous seasons. However, lead actor Lily Collins, who plays the titular character Emily Cooper, has noted a significant change in her confidence level since the series debuted in 2020.

Collins expressed in a recent interview that her personal growth has paralleled her character’s development throughout the show. She has taken on a producing role in addition to her acting duties, a new venture that has boosted her confidence in other projects outside the series.

The fourth season will see Emily navigating a messy love triangle while being in a more stable professional position compared to when viewers first met her struggling in a new job in a foreign country. Collins shared that some of her character’s self-assurance has influenced her own confidence, leading her to ask more profound questions and contribute ideas to the show beyond just aesthetics.

A notable aspect of the show is Emily’s evolving wardrobe, meticulously curated by designer Marylin Fitoussi. From initially sporting touristy Eiffel Tower-themed outfits to transitioning into more sophisticated Parisian attire, Emily’s costumes reflect her growth throughout the series.

Collins emphasized the importance of these costumes in helping her step back into Emily’s character, referring to it as a storytelling tool integral to her performance. She expressed gratitude for the depth of Emily’s character and the positive impact it has had on fans who relate to or find inspiration in Emily’s journey.

The highly anticipated fourth season premieres its first half soon, with growing excitement among fans who have been eagerly awaiting new episodes since the third season’s release two years ago. Although Netflix has not officially renewed the series for a fifth season, creator Darren Star believes the show’s popularity continues to rise, attracting audiences even beyond the initial pandemic-related viewership surge.

Star, a veteran in the television industry known for hits like “Sex and the City” and “Beverly Hills, 90210,” finds joy in the production process and hopes that audiences will appreciate the latest season of “Emily in Paris” as much as he does. Despite the unpredictability of audience response, Star remains optimistic about the show’s future and the connections it fosters with viewers.
