Emily in Paris creator claims Emily might be more tolerable in season 2
Your favorite pandemic hate watch is back for season two.
The first time around, Netflix's Emily in Paris was met with disdain for the titular character, confusion around the title itself, and a real-life scandal involving the Golden Globes and an alleged trip to Paris for Hollywood Foreign Press Association members. The show's creator, Darren Star, claims season one was not a faux pas, but the first step in character development. In season two, "Emily will embrace the city a little bit more," Star told Variety. "I think she will be more assimilated, in terms of living in Paris and stepping up to the challenges of learning the language," he said.
Whether viewers are ready or not, Emily in Paris is back — filming began Monday in France. À bientôt!
