Emily in Paris Season 3: Release Date, Cast, Trailer, and Everything to Know

Merry Christmas to us! We're just a few days away from the Season 3 premiere of Emily in Paris, and it's the perfect gift for the holidays. Despite (or perhaps because of) its oversimplified storyline and recycled rom-com tropes, Emily in Paris captured our hearts right from the first season. The series is easy to watch and totally bingeable, thanks to its short episodes and format that's predictable in some ways but still able to surprise in others. According to Netflix, subscribers watched Season 2 for 280 million cumulative hours in its first four weeks of release, making it the streaming service's most popular original comedy series.

The series was created by Sex and the City's Darren Star and has garnered several award nominations, including an Emmy nod for Outstanding Comedy Series. On the flip side, the show has also faced some criticism for perpetuating clichéd French stereotypes, among other things. 

At the end of Season 2, Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) was left with a big choice between returning to her job in Chicago as planned or accepting Sylvie's (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) offer to leave Savoir and start a new marketing firm. "Whatever choice it is, you know it will be filled with drama, fashion, and a lot of fun and romance," Collins told People. Emily is also in the middle of relationship drama now that Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and Camille (Camille Razat) are back together — and living in the apartment beneath her, no less — but she's trying to build things with new love interest Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), who has admitted to staying in France just for her. How will things play out?

Here's everything we know about Emily in Paris Season 3.

Latest News

Emily in Paris Season 3 had its world premiere in Paris on Dec. 6, and cast and creative team gathered in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower to celebrate. 

Netflix has released the first official trailer for Season 3. In the trailer, Emily secretly pulls double duty working for both Sylvie's new agency and her old boss Madeline Wheeler (Kate Walsh) at the same time. Meanwhile, her love life is also at a crossroads, and we also see plenty of bold new fashion choices, all set to some exhilarating background music.

Netflix also released some official artwork for the series, featuring Emily in a fluffy pink gown set against a dreamy Parisian backdrop.

Emily in Paris Season 3 release date

Emily in Paris Season 4 will premiere December 21, 2022, just in time for your Christmas viewing. Season 1 of Emily in Paris premiered in October 2020, while Season 2 had a December 2021 release date. Production on the third installment began in June so this fast turn-around is a pleasant surprise.

Instagram has proven to be very insightful when it comes to getting production updates. Back in June, the official Emily in Paris Instagram account shared a post confirming production had begun on Season 3. Since then, we've seen behind-the-scenes looks from Lily Collins sightseeing in Paris, and know that they wrapped filming late September thanks to Ashley Park. 

Netflix renewed the series for Seasons 3 and 4 shortly after Season 2 ended, meaning we'll be following the misadventures of the selfie-taking Emily Cooper for some time.

Emily in Paris Season 3 storyline

Season 3 will continue to follow Emily's escapades through a foreign country as she tries to balance all aspects of her professional, romantic, and personal life. Here's the official Season 3 synopsis courtesy of Netflix: "One year after moving from Chicago to Paris for her dream job, Emily finds herself at a crucial crossroads in every aspect of her life. Faced with two very different paths, Emily will have to decide exactly where her loyalties lie — at work and in her romantic life — and what those decisions mean for her future in France, all while continuing to immerse herself in the adventures and surprising twists and turns that life in Paris provides."

Emily in Paris Season 3 trailers

Netflix released the first look trailer for Season 3 on Sept. 24, which shows Emily acting out with a typical cry for help: cutting bangs. You know she must be going through it!

Emily in Paris Season 3 cast

The main cast members will be returning to their roles, including Lily Collins as the titular Emily, Ashley Park as her bff Mindy (who we'd love to see get some more character development), and Lucas Bravo as Gabriel, the romantic restaurateur. We can also count on seeing more of Alfie since Lucien Laviscount has been promoted to series regular.

Netflix announced two new faces joining the cast. Paul Forman and Melia Kreiling will be featured as guest stars in Season 3. Forman will play Nicolas De Leon, who is not only a big executive at his family's company, but also a prince (of course). According to Netflix, "Nicolas De Leon seems to lead a charmed life, but while the family name is an endless source of wealth, status, and access, it's accompanied by a crushing pressure to prove himself as more than just a nepotism hire."

Kreiling will guest star as the Greek artist Sofia Sideris who is in Paris to show her art to Camille (Camille Razat) but gets caught up in a passionate affair. Who do you think her love interest might be?
