Lily Collins came back as the quirky American marketing exec in “Emily in Paris” for a fourth season. And the latest installment, which was released on August 15, has risen up to the top spot of the most-watched list on Netflix worldwide, according to FlixPatrol.
While the series has received mixed reviews by critics and it has been divisive among fans, whether you love to watch it or just love to hate it, the show has maintained its popularity. This time, the show, which once again features an eclectic soundtrack, has been divided into two parts with the final five episodes being released on Sept. 12.
The first part of the series focuses on Emily, who, once again, must choose between being with her French neighbor and chef Gabriel (played by Lucas Bravo), or make up with Alfie, played by Lucien Laviscount.

(Spoilers ahead!)
If you’ve already watched the first five episodes of Season 4 of the series, you know that Emily’s finally decided to be with Gabriel at the end of Episode 3. For the first time, they are a couple and fans of the characters have been delighted to finally watch them together. However, things will get quite complicated.
First, Gabriel’s ex-girlfriend, Camille, played by Camille Razzat, isn’t pregnant with his baby after all, but decides to not tell him right away. Meanwhile, per Netflix’s sneak peek into the second part of the season, Emily will meet a handsome Italian named Marcello, played by Eugenio Franceschini.
Speaking about what’s coming next for the couple, creator of the show, Darren Star, said that while he wanted to make the getting together of Emily and Gabriel “satisfying,” the rose-colored glasses are going to come off.

“As part two continues, once that infatuation, the rose-colored glasses come off, you really start to see the person you’re with and that there’s a real person behind the fantasy. That’s what happens with both of them in part two,” he told Deadline. Star also confirmed that Alfie will return in Part Two.
Meanwhile, speaking about the pregnancy news and how it will affect the characters, Collins says Emily “really loves and adores” both her friendship with Camille and her relationship with Gabriel, so she just “really wants the best for Cami” but the news will “throw a wrench into the situation.”

On the other hand, Bravo told Variety that Gabriel will have his “confidence” affected because the “promise of the baby intoxicated him, and it gave him the confidence to chase after the Michelin star and Emily.” He also says that while his character loves Camille, it’s still “a big lie.”
