Summer Streamin' 24 - Emily in Paris - Season Four

Emily in Paris is one of the silliest shows on any streaming platform. However it is addictive AF! Particularly the later episodes in the recent fourth season.

Streaming on Netflix, the series stars Lily Collins as Emily Cooper, who may have to change her Instagram in season five. Yes this has already been renewed following, the fourth season being spilt in two parts: the first premiered on mid-August, followed by the next five episodes in mid-September.

Alongside Collins, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Ashley Park, Lucas Bravo, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, Camille Razat, William Abadie, & Lucien Laviscount, all star in this ridiculous comedy-drama.

In partnership with the fourth season, Netflix also released a video game adaptation, Netflix Stories: Emily in Paris, based on the series. The game was released in September 2024 for iOS & Android.


So how does season four wrap up? Will the show change to Emily in Rome? Read on, but be warned, there are SPOILERS below. However I did take a minute to catch up with this season.

In the season four finale, Agence Grateau lands an account with the Umberto Muratori cashmere company but for only for six months. Sylvie opens an office for Agence Grateau in Rome, appoints Emily as its manager and finds an apartment for her. 

Emily opens the window of her new apartment to a beautiful view echoing the beginning of the series when she first moved to Paris. Marcello visits her at her new apartment and they happily ride off together on a scooter to tour the city. 

Gabriel's restaurant receives a Michelin star but at the same time he obviously misses Emily. Also, he clarifies his relationship with Geneviève by telling her he does not want it to be romantic. She is disappointed. Mindy tells Antoine, Alfie, and Gabriel that Emily has moved to Rome. Later Gabriel asks Mindy where exactly in Rome Emily is, suggesting he intends to visit her.

This season we realise sadly, Alfie is not in Emily's sight anymore and Camille became very dull. Hopefully with the site relocation, there may be some new characters roll into season five.

Samuel Arnold as Julien is definitely (as usual) one of the highlights of the series. He has some cracking lines. Plus the show really is just all about the fashion!

Creator Darren Star has given us such great trash over the years, Melrose Place, Younger, 90210 and the Sex & the City series.

If you need to escape from all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, get into some mind numbing Emily in Paris. It's the cheapest vacation you will have in 2024!
