“Paris is always a good idea,” said Audrey Hepburn in Billy Wilder’s 1954 flickSabrina, but let’s be real—Emily in Parishas taken that idea and turned it into a Netflix cocktail that’s part chaos, part glamour, and entirely addictive. It’s like you’ve had the most delicious glass of rosé and now you’re scrambling to catch up with all the drama, romance, and French clichés that somehow feel like a breath of fresh air.
From the moment Emily arrives in the City of Lights, she dives headfirst into a pool of glitter, lattes, love triangles, and picture-perfect disasters that are just begging to be shared on Instagram.
We’re talking about a show that turned basic wardrobe envy into an art form, paired with so many romantic entanglements, that you need a spreadsheet to keep track. And as we gear up for Season 5, we can’t just sit here twiddling our thumbs waiting—let’s take a stroll down memory lane and rank every season from the best to the not-so-perfect (but still loveable).
4Season 1: The one that launched it all
Season 1 ofEmily in Parisis where it all started, where Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) waltzed into Paris with the kind of enthusiasm that could fuel a rocket. The moment her jetlagged self stepped off the plane, you knew things were about to get magnifique—and, oh boy, they did.
The Parisian fantasy took shape in all its Technicolor glory, and Emily’s crash course in French life, love, and language felt like a whirlwind tour guided by the spirit of la joie de vivre itself. From cringe-worthy work incidents to awkward dinner dates with Gabriel the Chef (Lucas Bravo), we were hooked.
The show didn’t just give us fashion tips—it gave us a whole new set of problems to envy.
Memorable Moments:
Season 1’s undeniable charm might’ve been a bit shallow, but let’s be honest—it’s what we needed to escape the world’s troubles at the time. It set the stage, gave us eye candy, and offered a chance to escape into a world of art galleries, and oh-so-fancy French wine.
Reception:The first season received a lukewarm reception—61% onRotten Tomatoes—but honestly, who cares when the soundtrack is as bubbly as champagne and the views are pure Parisian fantasy? It was a 10 out of 10 for an escape from the mundane.
3Season 2: The one that turned the heat up
Season 2? Oh, honey. You thought the drama was over? This is where things get seriously spicy (and not just the French food).
This is the season where the romantic triangle between Emily, Gabriel, and Camille (Camille Razat) literally boils over. From St. Tropez meltdowns to a whole new love interest in the form of Lucien Laviscount’s Alfie, the stakes are raised, and Emily’s wardrobe still remains far too flawless for a marketing assistant.
This season took everything we loved from Season 1—style, scandal, and that Parisian flair—and turned the volume up to 11. Emily juggled work, friendships, and relationships like a circus performer. The real fun, however, came from seeing Emily struggle with balancing American enthusiasm with French sophistication. Spoiler alert: it didn’t always work!
Reception:Critics weren’t entirely sold. A 61% approval rating onRotten Tomatoesstill put this season in the sugar-coated realm, but fans ate it up. It was the guilty pleasure of the year, and we were all just here for it.
2Season 3: The one with the Provence vibes
By Season 3, Emily had matured—well, a little. Now at a crossroads, she had to choose between staying in her safe bubble or taking a leap into Sylvie’s (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) bold new venture. The trip to Provence alone could’ve been a vacation special, filled with more romance and drama than anyone could have bargained for. You’d think a breathtaking chateau would be the perfect setting for some peace and quiet, but oh no—this season brought emotional landmines left and right.

Reception:With a 67% rating onRotten Tomatoes, this season was still a little ‘bubbly’, but definitely more complex. It had the same charm, but now with a pinch of substance. And honestly, we were all here for it!
1Season 4: The one that broke the mold
Let’s talk about the game-changer of the series. Season 4 does what no one expected: it throws Emily into the chaos of personal and professional dilemmas while stripping away the ‘everything’s perfect in Paris’ illusion.
Yes, there was still love drama (of course), but this season got real with some messy, raw emotions. With Gabriel and Camille’s pregnancy announcement and the Alfie conflict on the horizon, Emily’s life was no longer just about the latest French runway trends—it was about life-changing decisions. This season even managed to throw in a serious conflict at Agence Grateau, because, well, nothing screams Parisian office life like explosive secrets.
Reception:65% onRotten Tomatoes—the critics were split, but we’re still binge-watching, because come on, who isn’t obsessed with watching Emily figure out who the heck she’s going to kiss next?
“Emily in Paris” Season 5: Lucien Laviscount’s New Role, Return of Emily’s Ex-Boyfriend and Everything We Know So Far
From fashion that’ll make you question your entire wardrobe to love triangles more tangled than a bag of Christmas lights,Emily in Parishas brought us drama, laughs, and that sweet, sweet Parisian magic—served with a side of heartbreak.
And in the upcoming fifth season, with Emily’sex-boyfriend making a grand return, there’s no telling who will end up with who. But rest assured—someone’s going to break a heart, someone’s going to kiss in the rain (again), and Emily’s going to somehow make both her career and love life equally complicated.
