There's also been some exciting new additions to the cast. Rupert Everett (My Best Friend's Wedding) has joined the show to play Giorgio Barbieri, the owner of a global interior design firm based in Rome, while Italian actor Eugenio Franceschini is billed to play Marcello, who is "direct, confident, and values simplicity".

What will the new series be about?
Season three of Emily in Paris ended on a major cliffhanger. But thankfully, the show's leading lady, Lily Collins, has revealed that the fourth instalment will pick up where the finale left off.

Will Mindy and the band go to Eurovision? And what about Camille? Will Sylvie's rekindled love last? And the question on all of our minds. Will Emily and Gabriel finally get together?"
Promising "more fun, more fashion," and plenty of drama, Lily's big reveal soon followed. "Emily is going to have to decide whether everything she's always wanted is really what she needs," the star continued. "And while Emily's heart will always remain true to Paris, don't be surprised to find her on a Roman holiday."
Referencing Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck's iconic movie from 1953, Lily confirmed that season four is mixing things up and heading to Italy.
Meanwhile, the show's creator Darren Star has shared a few details about the series. In an interview with TV Guide, the 63-year-old said: "Season 4 is going to be more about navigating complicated relationships; personal relationships and work relationships, and how they come into conflict with each other…Emily is still going to be working with Alfie, Gabriel, and Camille. Those work relationships are really fraught with emotional conflicts."

The official synopsis reads: "After the dramatic events of Camille and Gabriel's misbegotten wedding, Emily is reeling: She has strong feelings for two men, but now Gabriel's expecting a baby with his ex, and Alfie's worst fears about her and Gabriel have been confirmed.

Mindy and the band prepare for Eurovision, but when funds run dry, they're forced to get thrifty. Emily and Gabriel's chemistry is undeniable as they work together towards a Michelin star, but two big secrets threaten to undo everything they've dreamed of."
Season three's cliffhanger ending
Season three ended rather dramatically as Camille decided to call off her last-minute wedding to Gabriel, confronting her fiancé about his feelings for Emily at the altar. Emily's boyfriend Alfie was understandably upset by this and followed Camille as she walked out the door, leaving Gabriel and Emily to pick up the pieces.

She came back to tell me that she's pregnant," he revealed, leaving the episode on a huge cliffhanger. What will Emily do? We'll just have to wait and see.
