'Emily in Paris' to possibly return for season two
It's official: The world can't stop talking about Emily in Paris, one of the most polarising TV shows of 2020.
Played by Lily Collins, the titular social media marketer Emily Cooper has some fans wishing they could be her and others waiting for her 15 minutes of fame to end. Yes, Emily gets to wear fabulous fashion and have a dream job hard to imagine someone her age (she's 22 or 24) doing. But regardless, the season finale begged one big question: will Emily in Paris return for season two?
Since the show premiered less than a month ago, it's hard to predict its fate. But in an exclusive interview with E! News, creator Darren Star hinted at the possibilities. "I don't know about season two yet but I think Emily has some surprising tough choices," he said. "The show's so much about the culture undermining her expectations of how things are and how things seem. And everything will not be as it seems. It's always about challenging her American worldview. We certainly have a lot of forks in the road and a lot of places to go to."
Could Emily be given the choice to return to Chicago and say goodbye to her glamorous new life abroad? Sounds like a possibility.
Of course, Collins and the cast would certainly be up for another season. "We're really hoping to get the green light for season two," she told Harper's Bazaar previously. Meanwhile, Lucas Bravo, who handsomely played Gabriel, told Cosmopolitan that season one "planted a few seeds" for future storylines — namely that the love triangle between Emily, Gabriel and his girlfriend Camille. One thing's for sure though: Emily might not be as naive in season two. "She’s going to be more of a part of the fabric of the world she's living in. She'll be more of a resident of the city," Star said. "She'll have her feet on the ground a little more. She's making a life there."
