Netflix confirmed on Monday that their popular comedy Emily In Paris has officially started production on season two. The new episodes of the Darren Star-created series will begin filming in France on multiple locations, including St. Tropez and Paris.
Emily In Paris follows Emily Cooper (Lily Collins), a young American who is sent to Paris by her company to oversee operations in a firm they just acquired. Upon arriving in France, Emily has to navigate a challenging work surrounding and cultural differences while also attempting to find love.
While announcing the start of production on season two, which was announced back in November, Netflix also revealed that Emily In Paris was their most-watched comedy in 2020. According to the streamer, the show was watched by 58 million people in the first 28 days since the premiere.
These numbers would make Emily in Paris one of their most-watched series overall, trailing only Bridgerton (82 million), The Witcher 76 million) and Lupin (70 million).
Darren Star (Sex and the City, Melrose Place) originally started working on Emily In Paris for Paramount Network in 2018, and the first 10 episodes were filmed the following year. However, after the network made changes in “its approach to developing and programming content,” the show was sold to Netflix.
Since its premiere, Emily in Paris met with positive reviews from the critics and received a couple of Golden Globe Awards nominations.
