Emily in Paris is an American comedy-drama television series created by Darren Star for Netflix. Set and filmed in Paris, the series stars Lily Collins as the eponymous Emily, an American who moves to France to provide an American point of view to Savoir, a French marketing firm. There, she struggles to succeed in the workplace while searching for love and experiencing a culture clash with her "boring" and mundane Midwestern U.S. upbringing.[2] It also stars Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Ashley Park, Lucas Bravo, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, Camille Razat, and William Abadie.

Produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and originally developed for Paramount Network, where it was given a straight-to-series order in September 2018, the series moved to Netflix on July 2020. Filming takes place in Île-de-France, mainly in Paris and its suburbs, and began in August 2019.

Emily in Paris premiered on October 2, 2020, to positive reviews in the United States but was criticized in France with many French critics condemning the show for negatively stereotyping Parisians and the French.[3] In November 2020, the series was renewed for a second season by Netflix, which started filming in May 2021 and premiered on December 22, 2021.[4][5][6] In January 2022, the series was renewed for a third and fourth season by Netflix.[7]

Emily's boss Madeline prepares to make the transition from the Chicago based pharmaceutical marketing firm, the Gilbert Group, to a French fashion firm, Savoir, when she discovers that she is pregnant. The Gilbert Group offers the job to Emily and she accepts, leaving her boyfriend back in Chicago. Emily moves to Paris despite the fact that she does not speak French. She moves into the 5th floor of an old apartment building without an elevator but with a wonderful Parisian view. Emily creates an Instagram account, @emilyinparis, and begins documenting her time in Paris. Emily starts her first day of work much to the chagrin of her new co-workers, who reveal that she was only hired because of a business deal. She introduces the French, who seem very reluctant about her and her American methods, to American social media strategies. Emily accidentally tries to enter the wrong apartment and meets her very attractive neighbor, Gabriel. As Emily becomes accustomed to life in Paris she makes countless faux-pas and her colleagues nickname her "la plouc" or "the hick". Emily meets Mindy Chen, a nanny originally from Shanghai, and they become fast friends. After Emily and her boyfriend attempt to have cybersex but the connection fails, she plugs in her vibrator and accidentally short-circuits the block's power.

Despite struggling to fit in with French office culture, Emily convinces her boss, Sylvie, to invite her to a work party where she accidentally irritates Sylvie by conversing with Antoine Lambert, a client who turns out to be Sylvie's married lover. As punishment she is put to work marketing Vaga-Jeune, a lubricant for menopausal women. Annoyed with the gendered nature of the French language, Emily writes a post about the product which goes viral, causing her to make further inroads at work.

Emily's boyfriend tells her that she should return to Chicago as he struggles with a long distance relationship, and he does not want to visit Paris despite it being a pre-planned trip. She refuses to return to Chicago and breaks off the relationship. She turns to Mindy for emotional support.

Emily is invited to the shoot for De l'Heure's latest commercial to take behind-the-scenes footage for social media, and is shocked to discover the commercial involves a model strutting nude down the Pont Alexandre III while suited men ogle at her. She argues with Antoine that the ad is sexist while he counters that it is sexy, leading Emily to suggest an online marketing campaign that asks the perfume's customers what they think. When the campaign goes viral, Antoine sends Emily La Perla lingerie as a thank you gift.

Mindy offers to throw a dinner party to help Emily meet new people but the party instead turns into a rager. Despite meeting and hitting it off with a French man from the party, Emily ends up going back to Gabriel's restaurant for comfort after the man offends her.

After a miscommunication that renders her work dinner reservation at an exclusive, luxurious restaurant invalid, Emily convinces Gabriel to host them at his restaurant instead. As a gesture of thanks for his help, Emily kisses him and he kisses her back. Leaving the restaurant, Emily bumps into Camille again, who reveal that Gabriel is her boyfriend.

Emily, however, fails to convince Olivia to have Savoir represent their company again, with Sylvie cited as the reason.

Camille invites Emily to a night-out with her and Gabriel. When alone with Gabriel, Emily asks that he forget about their kiss the night before, to which he agrees. But later on, he admits that he, too, feels chemistry with her.

Initially outraged at seeing Emily’s Instagram posts for Durée, Sylvie demands that she delete her account. But when a client becomes inspired by one of Emily’s posts, Sylvie begrudgingly allows Emily to keep her account and to leverage on her “influencer” status.
66"Ringarde"Andrew FlemingMatt WhitakerOctober 2, 2020 (2020-10-02)

Emily and Thomas encounter Gabriel and Camille, and Camille invites them to join them at a tapas restaurant. Thomas and Gabriel do not get along. The next day, Gabriel tells Emily he thinks Thomas is a snob, and not worthy of her. Emily discovers Pierre has designed the costumes for Swan Lake so she invites Thomas to join her.

Emily calls Mathieu Cadault to arrange a meeting so she can ask him about the dress donation. They agree to meet at an art opening at Camille's gallery. Sylvie and Luc also arrive at the opening to meet Camille. At the AFL auction, Grey Space, which consists of two avant-garde fashion designers, show up and bid for Pierre's dress. As Emily models the dress on stage, Grey Space shoots her with paint as a publicity stunt which shocks the audience. The next day, the stunt is featured in all the newspapers and online.

Their date is interrupted by a frantic call from Pierre, who is threatening to cancel his fashion show. Mathieu informs Emily that Pierre is holed up in his atelier on the verge of a breakdown and won't show his new collection to anyone. Sylvie blames Emily for shaking Pierre's confidence and fires her. Emily's co-workers inform her that in France it can be a long, arduous process to fire an employee, so Emily can use this loophole to her advantage. The next day Emily is called by Mathieu about the situation and tells her that Pierre has requested to see her. Sylvie overhears this and goes with Emily to see Pierre. At the atelier, they see a dress from Pierre's new collection. In need of a venue to launch his fashion show, Pierre hijacks the outside of his former venue to show his new dress collection, which the audience loves and makes him the toast of Fashion Week. To celebrate, Emily hosts a dinner at Gabriel's restaurant for Mathieu and Pierre.

Mindy agrees to emcee and sing at a drag bar two nights a week, but when she tells her employers, they fire her so she moves in with Emily.

To realize his dream of opening his own restaurant, Gabriel decides to move back to Normandy. Realizing that this may be Gabriel’s last night in Paris, Emily and Gabriel sleep together.

On September 5, 2018, it was announced that Paramount Network had given the production a series order for a first season consisting of 10 episodes. The series was created by Darren Star, who has a multi-year overall deal with ViacomCBS and develops for ViacomCBS and for outsider buyers via MTV Entertainment Studios.[12] Star was also expected to serve as an executive producer alongside Tony Hernandez. Production companies involved with the series were slated to consist of Jax Media.[8][13][14][15] On July 13, 2020, it was reported that the series would move from Paramount Network to Netflix.[16] On November 11, 2020, Netflix renewed the series for a second season.[4] On January 10, 2022, Netflix renewed the series for a third and fourth season.[7]

Casting[edit]

On April 3, 2019, Lily Collins was cast in the titular role.[17] On August 13, 2019, Ashley Park had joined the main cast.[18] On September 19, 2019, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Lucas Bravo, Samuel Arnold, Camille Razat, and Bruno Gouery joined cast in starring roles, while Kate Walsh, William Abadie, and Arnaud Viard were cast in recurring roles.[19] On May 24, 2021, Lucien Laviscount was cast in recurring role, while Abadie was promoted to series regular for the second season.[9]

Filming[edit]

Principal photography for the first season, in Paris and its suburbs, was expected to begin in early 2019, but began in August 2019.[citation needed]

Many scenes are filmed at Place de l'Estrapade[20] in the 5th Arrondissement., including the site of Emily's first apartment, the restaurant ("Les Deux Compères"),[21][22][23] and the bakery ("La Boulangerie Moderne") .[24] Some scenes are also filmed at Cité du Cinéma, a film studio complex in Saint-Denis.[8][18] Famous Parisian sites to feature in the series include: Le Grand Véfour,[25] the Pont Alexandre III, Palais Garnier, [[{{{1}}}]] [],[26] Rue de l'Abreuvoir [fr], Jardin du Luxembourg, Jardin Du Palais Royale, Café de Flore and the Panthéon. An episode was also filmed at the Château de Sonnay in the department of Indre-et-Loire.[27] Additional photography took place in Chicago during November 2019.[28]

Filming for the second season began on May 3, 2021[29] and concluded on July 19, 2021.[30] New filming locations for the second season include Monnaie de Paris, Musée des Arts Forains, Huatian Chinagora, Saint-Tropez, Palace of Versailles, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, and other locations in France.[31][32][33][34][29] Filming of the second season in Paris caused problems within the 5th Arrondissement, with the residents deeming the crew as brutal, threatening and too intrusive.[35] For this season, Lily Collins has stated that it's set in a COVID-19-free world, as the decision was made by the producers to ensure escapism through joy and laughter. In scenes that involved crowds, masks were off when they were on-camera, and back on once completed, which Collins stated was difficult to pull off.

Soundtrack[edit]

In October 2020, Ashley Park's "La Vie en Rose", a cappella, as Mindy Chen,[36] was heard in episode six, was posted[37] on emilyinparis′s instagram[38] and debuted at number one, on Billboard's Top TV Songs chart, powered by Tunefind.[39] Episode three's Kid Francescoli's (fr) Moon debuted at number four, and episode ten's Cavale's Burst Into Flames debuted at number seven.[39] Alter K,[40][41] a French music publisher and distributor, made significant contributions to the soundtrack, with half of the songs, being from Alter K′s catalog.[42][43] James Newton Howard composed the theme music.[44][45]

Release[edit]

The series' first season was released by Netflix on October 2, 2020.[3] The second season was released on December 22, 2021.[6]

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

Daniel D'Addario of Variety described the series as "a delight that poses the question of what it really means to grow up, against a truly inviting backdrop", and that Collins is "an inherently winsome performer who has never been quite as well used as she is here".[46] Kristen Baldwin of Entertainment Weekly gave the series a "B" and wrote, "If you need a five-hour brain vacation, Paris is a worthwhile destination."[47] The New Zealand Herald considered the show "visually delectable" and that "Collins has a pixie-ish charm which makes her endearing", but also that the show is "as ephemeral as fairy floss".[48] However, Kristen Lopez of IndieWire wrote a review Metacritic graded as a 23 out of a 100, praising Collins for being a "jewel, make no mistake" and that "Emily in Paris is only as watchable and frivolous as its leading lady," but warning viewers "Emily in Paris is like scrolling through Instagram. It's a great way to waste time looking at pretty pictures with no depth."[49]

Nevertheless, not all critics were kind to the Emily character. Emma Gray from HuffPost called Emily a bland character, stating "The show doesn't even make an effort to quirk her up or give her a more relatable, girl-next-door roughness: she's always immaculately coiffed and made-up, and garbed in effortfully eye-catching outfits. But there's not much to the character, except for enormous amounts of self-confidence and the inexplicable ability to attract new friends and love interests on every street corner."[50] Rebecca Nicholson of The Guardian gave the series one out of five stars: "if it is an attempt to fluff up the romcom for the streaming age, then it falls over on its six-inch heels."[51] Rachel Handler opined "Darren Star has done it yet again: centered an entire show on a thin, gently delusional white woman whimsically exploring a major metropolitan area in wildly expensive couture purchased on a mid-level salary."[52]

Sarah Moroz, of Vulture.com, opined "the most egregious oversight ... is Emily herself, who shows zero personal growth over a ten-episode arc. ... Emily's vapidity is baffling to anyone who has moved from their native country."[53]

Sonia Rao, of The Washington Post compares Emily to the heroines of the Amy Sherman-Palladino universe: "Like the Gilmore girls, Emily is strong-willed and refuses to let anything get in the way of her schemes. Like Midge Maisel, her actions can be quite rash, but she still wins over her fictional acquaintances while utterly baffling viewers."[54]

Some critics appeared ambivalent, such as Jo Ellison writing for the Financial Times. On one hand she expresses admiration for the way Darren Star manages to depict "a version of womanhood in which promiscuity, bossiness and shopaholicism are depicted as qualities to be celebrated"; on the other "the major plot lines might have been written in the 1940s and the Frenchies are routinely cast as vain, preening and parochial." She concludes "Cliché-ridden and completely outdated: Darren Star's 'Sex and the Cité' will no doubt be monstrously successful."[55]

Many French critics condemned the show for negatively stereotyping Parisians and the French.[56] Charles Martin wrote in Première that the show unfairly stereotyped and depicted the French as "lazy [individuals who] never arrive at the office before the end of the morning [...] are flirtatious and not really attached to the concept of loyalty [...] are sexist and backward, and [...] have a questionable relationship with showering".[57][58][59][60][61]

A reviewer at Sens Critique wrote: "Emily in Paris projects the same twee, unrealistic image of Paris that the film Amélie does".[62] RTL.fr wrote: "Rarely had we seen so many clichés on the French capital since the Parisian episodes of Gossip Girl or the end of The Devil Wears Prada."[62]

Megan Garber of The Atlantic was critical of the character Emily, writing, "An expat who acts like a tourist, she judges everything against the backdrop of her own rigid Americanness. You might figure that those moments are evidence of a show poking fun at its protagonist's arrogance, or setting the stage for her to grow beyond her initial provincialism. But: You would be, as I was, mostly incorrect. Instead, other people change around her. They grudgingly concede that her way (strident, striving, teeming with insistent individualism) is the right way. The show—the latest from the Sex and the City creator Darren Star—is selling several fantasies. Primary among them is the notion that Emily can bulldoze her way through France and be celebrated for it."[63]

For the first season, review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 63% based on 55 reviews, with an average rating of 5.81/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Though its depiction of France is tré cliché [sic], Emily in Paris is rom-com fantasy at its finest, spectacularly dressed and filled with charming performances."[64] Metacritic gave the first season a weighted average score of 60 out of 100 based on 17 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[65]

The second season has a 67% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 21 reviews, with an average rating of 5.2/10. The website's critics consensus states, "Emily in Paris remains a sugary soufflé, but it's liable to give a toothache to viewers who are seeking anything deeper than a frivolous romp."[66] On Metacritic, the second season received a score of 64 based on reviews from 11 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[67]

Audience viewership[edit]

For the week of October 5, 2020, Emily in Paris reached the top ten list of most watched streaming shows per Nielsen. On May 3, 2021, Netflix revealed that the series has been watched by 58 million households in the month after its debut.[68] The series remained in UK top 10 list[69] for 40 consecutive days after its release.

Award controversy[edit]

The show received two nominations at the Golden Globe Awards, but prior to the ceremony it was reported that 30 members of the voting body had been flown to Paris, where they spent two nights at The Peninsula Paris and were treated to a private lunch at the Musée des Arts Forains, with the bill reportedly paid by the show's developer, Paramount Network.[70] This led some critics to question the impartiality of the voting body,[70] as Emily in Paris is considered to have been a critical flop,[71] and its nomination was a surprise.[72][73] In contrast, critically acclaimed shows, notably I May Destroy You, were not nominated.[74]
