Say ciao to new faces in new ‘Emily in Paris’ season

Emily Cooper is back and she has new friends — or are they? — to introduce in the fourth season of “Emily in Paris,” streaming in August on Netflix.

Eugenio Franceschini is Marcello. Originally from Rome, Marcello is direct, confident, and values simplicity. He’s substantive but never flashy — true to the roots of his family’s company.

Thalia Besson plays Genevieve, Laurent’s 20 something daughter from a past relationship, who’s just moved from New York City to Paris to start her career. Her bright, eager demeanor immediately endears her to Emily, who’s thrilled to have an American expat to mentor. But their similarities may end up complicating Emily’s life — both professionally and personally.

Rupert Everett is Giorgio Barbieri, the owner of a global interior design firm based in Rome. Giorgio makes it his business to know everyone else’s business, and to be the life of every party. He’s been friends with Sylvie for decades.

Anna Galiena as Antonia Muratori, Marcello’s mother, the matriarch of the Muratori family, and the head of the family business. Antonia presides over their small village by building up the community and taking care of the people who live and work there. Even in uncertain times, Antonia is committed to maintaining the company’s soul.

Finally, there’s Raoul Bova as Giancarlo. A charming, self-assured, successful Roman commercial director who used to be Sylvie’s film professor.

One of the new characters is Eugenio Franceschini who plays Marcello.

The fourth season picks up after the dramatic events of Camille and Gabriel’s misbegotten wedding. Emily is reeling — she has strong feelings for two men, but now Gabriel’s expecting a baby with his ex, and Alfie’s worst fears about her and Gabriel have been confirmed.

At work, Sylvie is forced to confront a thorny dilemma from her past for the sake of her marriage, and the Agence Grateau team navigates personnel shakeups.

Mindy and the band prepare for Eurovision, but when funds run dry, they’re forced to get thrifty. Emily and Gabriel’s chemistry is undeniable as they work together towards a Michelin star, but two big secrets threaten to undo everything they’ve dreamed of.

Emily in Paris Season 4 will be split into two five-episode parts, with part one premiering on August 15, followed by part two on September 12.
