Paris Ruins Another Good Thing

The 2024 Paris Olympics are finally over, but don't get too comfortable, because the city of love is back with another round of cringe. Netflix's "Emily in Paris" is here to make sure your summer isn't completely waste-free.

Part 1 of Season 4 dropped Thursday, and it's safe to say, no one asked for it. But here we are, subjected to more of Emily's "adventures" in the city she'll never belong in.

Series creator, Darren Star, promised "new characters, a lot more drama, (and) romance." Because what this show really needed was more messy relationships and superficial conflicts.

“Emily finds herself with a busy travel schedule in Season 4 of 'Emily in Paris,'" Star said. "From the French Alps to the piazzas of Rome, viewers will vicariously experience amazing new locations through Emily’s eyes. Expect new characters, a lot more drama, romance, and a whole new language to try and master.”

Oh joy, more places for Emily to spread her basic American influence and probably mispronounce foreign words.

Meet the Cast of Clowns:

Lily Collins as Emily Cooper

The so-called "marketing whizz" who landed in Paris and thinks she owns the place. Don't be fooled by her seemingly perfect life, she's just as lost as that time you got drunk in Paris and couldn't find your hotel. Except she's lost in a Chanel outfit with a side of romantic dilemmas.

Lucas Bravo as Gabriel

The local chef who can't decide between his long-time girlfriend, Camille, and the new American in town. He's killing it in the kitchen, but his personal life is a recipe for disaster. Probably because he's got commitment issues and can't stay away from Miss-I-Belong-in-Paris.

Lucien Laviscount as Alfie

The other guy in the love triangle, because why not add more drama? He's an English banker who escalated things with Emily quickly. Probably because he realized she was an easy lay. Now he's sticking around like that stalker ex you can't shake.

Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie Grateau

The no-nonsense boss lady who probably deserves better employees and colleagues. She's trying to run a business while dealing with the chaos that is Emily and her entourage. Godspeed, Sylvie.

Ashley Park as Mindy Chen

Emily's "bestie" in Paris, who's also an aspiring singer. Because what this show needed was a side of tone-deaf karaoke. She's got rich daddy issues, so you know she's fun.

Camille Razat as Camille

Gabriel's long-suffering girlfriend turned fiancé, who just can't catch a break. She's caught in the middle of this love triangle and probably needs a good therapist. Or a new man. Or both.

Samuel Arnold as Julien

The dramatic co-worker who probably spends more time on his hair than actual work. He's the office drama queen and thrives on gossip.

Bruno Gouery as Luc

The quirky co-worker with a Michelinreviewer girlfriend. He's the office weirdo, but at least he has a girlfriend, so there's that.

William Abadie as Antoine Lambert

The owner of a luxury perfume company and one of Emily's clients. He's also hooked up with Sylvie, because why not keep it all in the (dysfunctional) family?

Paul Forman as Nicolas De Leon

The rich kid who dates Mindy. Because what's a good story without some old money and elite connections?

There you have it, folks. "Emily in Paris" is back to ruin your summer and your faith in love, travel, and fashion. Enjoy!
