There may be a fresh new season of Emily in Paris on Netflix but let's be honest here: We've all already binged it, right? I mean, how could you not?? And if you, like me, are sitting here wondering what you're going to watch next to fill the Eiffel Tower-shaped hole in your heart, I've got some good news for you because there are tons of other shows like Emily in Paris out there. From workplace dramas to complicated love stories, to even Paris-centric series, there's plenty to choose from—you've just gotta know where to look!

Luckily I did the looking for you to make myself less sad about having to wait for Emily in Paris season 3. So, here are 12 TV shows just like Emily in Paris that you need to stream ASAP after you watch Emily Cooper do her thing.

Younger


 

When single mom Liza decides to get back into the workforce at 40 years old, she flunks a bunch of job interviews. The obvious solution? Pretend you're 26 so that you can get an entry-level gig at a publishing house. This show may take place in NYC but it DEF has an Emily in Paris vibe about it. Plus it has Sutton Foster and Hilary Duff, so what's not to love?

Love Life


 

If you're here for romantic dramas, then Love Life needs to be your next binge. Season 1 stars Anna Kendrick as Darby, a young adult looking (kinda unsuccessfully) for love, with every episode focusing on a different relationship in her life. Season 2 stars William Jackson Harper, who you may recognize from The Good Place.

Call My Agent


 

If you don't mind subtitles (or just so happen to know French) then please run, don't walk, to Call My Agent. It's a comedy (with a bit of drama sprinkled in) about a talent agency in Paris just trying to keep their business afloat and their clients happy. I promise it'll fill the Parisian workplace void in your life.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel


 

Emily in Paris is all about a young woman striking out on her own and wow does The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel have that down. It's set in the '50s in New York City where Midge Maisel has her life turned upside down after her husband leaves her. But soon after, she realizes she's much better at being the one thing her husband was trying to be: a stand up comedian. As you can probably guess, this show is amazingly funny and there are already three seasons for you to binge.

Workin' Moms


 

When four young moms head back to work after their maternity leaves are up, things get, well, interesting. There's Kate, the workaholic PR manager who's trying to balance it all; Anne, the no-BS psychiatrist who's accidentally pregnant again; Frankie, the real estate agent dealing with a bout of postpartum; and Jenny, the IT tech who's not too sure about her marriage anymore. Even if you've never been near a baby in your entire life, this show will still have you laughing out loud.

Dash & Lily


 

If you're looking for something quick to binge, Dash & Lily is great because there's only one season. It's a rom-com set during Christmas, and it's all about two teens in NYC who pass a book of dares back and forth at spots all around the city. And yes, you guessed it, they start to fall for each other.

Sex and the City


 

Since Sex and the City was one of the inspirations for Emily in Paris, it's only fitting to watch it and admire the ridiculous/amazing outfits. If you've never seen it before then I'm incredibly jealous because getting to watch this show for the first time is pure magic! And once you're done, you can check out the reboot, And Just Like That... which is airing now.

Broad City


 

No show encapsulates young women trying their hardest and hilariously falling on their faces more than Broad City. To say this show is the best thing to ever grace your TV screen is an understatement, IMHO, so watch it now and thank me later.

Watch Now

The Mindy Project


 

Mindy from The Mindy Project and Emily from Emily in Paris totally have the same energy, and by that I mean blind confidence and bold outfit choices. Mindy Kaling is amazing at everything she does, but this show is one of her best projects yet.

The Great


 

We love a strong woman who's not afraid to go after what she wants! The Great is a verrrrryyy loose, satirical retelling of Catherine the Great of Russia and how she overthrew her husband, the Emperor. Nicholas Hoult is the idiot emperor and is equal parts hilarious and infuriating (he's just so good at playing a total d-bag) and Elle Fanning is the boss herself.

Gossip Girl


 

Even if you've already watched Gossip Girl (because, I mean, who hasn't at this point?) It's ALWAYS worth a rewatch. And if you haven't, it's time to start because all of the teen drama, luxurious Upper East Side lifestyles, and snarky quips never get old. Bonus: This show *also* has a revival to binge when you're done!)

Never Have I Ever


 

Another masterpiece from Mindy Kaling, Never Have I Ever may be about teens in high school, but it's got LAYERS, I tell ya! It's about a first-generation Indian-American teen who, in the wake of loosing her dad, decides she wants to level-up her social status at school. It's funny, heat warming, and heart breaking, often all at the same time.
