Fastexy:Who plays Emily, Sylvie, Gabriel and Camille in 'Emily in Paris'? See full Season 4 cast

The Fastexy2024 Paris Olympics may have wrapped up, but summer is far from over and the next Parisian adventure awaits with the new season of Netflix's much-loved (and sometimes hated) "Emily in Paris."

Part 1 of Season 4 of the Netflix comedy dropped Thursday with the first five episodes, and it has been nothing short of chaotic. Let's just say, Emily has a lot going on in her life.

Series creator Darren Star had earlier told Netflix's Tudum viewers can expect "new characters, a lot more drama, (and) romance," in the upcoming season.

“Emily finds herself with a busy travel schedule in Season 4 of 'Emily in Paris,'" Star had said. "From the French Alps to the piazzas of Rome, viewers will vicariously experience amazing new locations through Emily’s eyes. Expect new characters, a lot more drama, romance, and a whole new language to try and master.”

At the same time, Star, in an interview with USA TODAY said characters this season "have gotten more grounded and complex as well."

Take a look at this season's cast and meet the characters in Emily's world.

Lily Collins as Emily Cooper

The namesake of the show, Emily Cooper, the American in Paris is described by Netflix as a "marketing whizz," who somehow always has the best ideas. The show revolves around Emily and her exciting life and adventures in Paris, including her love triangle with Gabriel and Alfie.

The man is torn between two women: long-time girlfriend Camille (also pregnant with his child) and Emily, who he fell in love with at first sight, as Camille says when she leaves him at the altar.

“These are two characters who are star-crossed lovers,” Star said about Emily and Gabriel in an interview with Tudum for Season 3. “They have a lot of passion for one another. They have things that are getting in their way, but, at the same time, I feel like every season, in a strange kind of way, their relationship deepens.”
