Tuesday, December 6, in the city of lights, the Emily in Paris ensemble walked the red carpet for the world premiere of season three of the famous Netflix series, taking up a theater on Avenue Montaigne.
Future episodes will dive further into the characters, creator Darren Star revealed.
“Everyone has compelling tales — it’s no longer just about Emily,” Star added.
The new season of the television comedy is scheduled to premiere on December 21, and stars Lily Collins as Emily Cooper, an American who migrated from Chicago to Paris for a marketing job.
Collins stated that this season’s Emily is more grounded in herself, quietly confident, and somewhat more French.
During the height of pandemic lockdowns in 2020, the series premiered to 58 million homes in its first month and became Netflix’s most popular comedy that year.
