So, what's in store for Emily Cooper? Speaking to Tudum in December, leading lady Lily Collins teased some exciting storylines.
"So much happened that we just need answers to," she began. "Is Alfie still heartbroken? Will Gabriel get his Michelin star? 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 drama, Lily noted: "Emily is going to have to decide whether everything she's always wanted is really what she needs. And while Emily's heart will always remain true to Paris, her life takes some unexpected twists this season, don't be surprised to find her on a Roman holiday."
Meanwhile, Darren Star has teased some tension between the characters. "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," he told TV Guide.

During an interview with Deadline, Darren was also quizzed about the next chapter in Emily and Gabriel's will-they-won't-they storyline. "Yes, they are star-crossed lovers, they really are," he replied.
