Netflix is going all-in on Emily in Paris. The Lily Collins-led series has been renewed for seasons 3 and 4 over at the streaming service.

Emily in Paris stars Collins as Emily, a marketing executive from Chicago who finally lands her dream job in Paris. In Season 2 of the series, Emily gets more accustomed to her life in France but is still having a hard time fully adjusting to the many differences between Chicago and the French capital. Along with her ever-expanding work schedule, Emily is also balancing a love triangle between her neighbor and her newest French friend.

Other cast members include Ashley Park, Lucas Bravo, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, William Abadie, and Camille Razat. It is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, Jax Media, and Darren Star Productions with Collins, Raphaël Benoliel, Shihan Fey, Stephen Brown, and Jake Fuller serving as producers.

While the Darren Star-created series has seen a fair share of criticism from both critics and audiences, however, it remains incredibly popular at Netflix. According to Deadline, the second season, which premiered on Dec. 22, was watched for “107.6 million hours in its first week,” coming in second in Netflix’s Global Top Ten List for English-Language series. It came in behind The Witcher, which also recently premiered its second season and was watched for 168 million hours that week.

Emily in Paris was also Netflix’s most popular comedy in 2020 as its first season was watched by 58 million households in its first month.

However, the series is not without its share of controversy. In addition to its critics, Emily in Paris has been maligned by some for its stereotypical and outdated depictions. For example, it has a glamorized portrayal of Paris which has been criticized by French minister Joël Giraud who mocked a scene where Emily travels to Saint Tropez by train. Another scene was criticized by Ukraine’s culture minister Oleksandr Tkachenko, who said that the show’s depiction of a Ukrainian shoplifter was “offensive.”

The first season was nominated for Best Comedy at the Golden Globes, however, many questioned the integrity of the nomination. Backlash followed as there were reports that folks over at Paramount were essentially bribing members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) to score a nomination. In fact, according to Cosmopolitan, one member of the HFPA who attended the set visit said “they treated us like kings and queens.”

Still, Emily in Paris has been incredibly popular for Netflix, which is now leading to two more seasons. Who knows what her next adventure in France could be.
