What’s next in the City of Love for Emily? Here’s everything we’re looking forward to in ‘Emily in Paris' Season 4, Part 1

The Paris 2024 Olympics may be over, but we’re not done with the ‘City of Love’ just yet. Emily in Paris, the beloved Netflix series, returns for its fourth season this week, picking up after Season 3's dramatic cliffhanger. As one of Netflix’s biggest shows, this fashion-forward drama centres on Emily, a social media-savvy marketing executive who moves to Paris to assist her company's French branch. Navigating her career, cultural differences, new friendships, and a complex love life, Emily faces the challenges of adapting to life in Paris as an American.

Season 3 kept viewers on the edge of their seats with a cancelled wedding, a few breakups, a surprise pregnancy announcement, and more. If you’re feeling lost, here’s a quick recap. 

The Season 3 finale had a cliffhanger like no other and we’re excited to see how Season 4 unfolds. While the show has consistently delivered a mix of fashion, romance, and cultural exploration, there are a few storylines we’re particularly eager to see unfold. Take a look!

Emily’s love triangle reaches a conclusion

In the final scene of the trailer, Emily stands torn between her two loves at a masquerade ball. Will she choose Gabriel or Alfie? And while many anticipate her final choice, there’s growing speculation that Emily might surprise everyone and choose herself. This change could shift the focus to Emily’s personal development and career growth along with unexpected friendships, making her a more resilient, independent character who inspires viewers with her transformation.

A grand Swiss vacay

A few stills from Season 4 show Emily with Swiss flag shag pillows and hot chocolate, hinting at a possible lavish Swiss retreat. This getaway could provide the characters with a chance to relax and recharge, which could trigger substantial character growth, surprising revelations, or even spark romantic connections against the backdrop of the Alps.

Camille and Gabriel co-parenting their baby

In Season 3, Camille's unexpected pregnancy added new layers to the already intertwined relationships. The narrative in Season 4 will explore Camille and Gabriel's co-parenting journey, highlighting themes of love, loss, and complex family dynamics. Fans can expect a mix of challenging and heartwarming situations as the evolving dynamic between Camille, Gabriel, Emily, and the baby sets the stage for captivating storylines.

Camille’s pursuit of happiness with Sofia

While the focus will be on Camille and Gabriel's complex co-parenting journey, the narrative could also give Camille a chance to find happiness with Sofia. As she navigates the challenges of being a single mother while pursuing her career goals, her bond with Sofia could offer her some much-needed support and companionship.
