According to a report in Variety, the filming for the fourth season of Emily in Paris has been delayed by two months due to the writers’ strike. The shooting was to begin in late summer or early fall in the French capital.
Streaming giant Netflix has declined to comment. The plan is still to start shooting by the end of fall, according to a source close to the streamer.
Netflix announced the renewal of Darren Star's Emmy-nominated romantic comedy in January 2022. Season 3 dropped on the streamer on December 21 following a massive premiere event in Paris, which lured crowds of overjoyed fans and was attended by Star and the entire cast, including Lily Collins, Ashley Park, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Kate Walsh, Camille Razat, Lucas Bravo, Lucien Laviscount (who wore a shiny purple suit), Bruno Gouery and Samuel Arnold.
When asked if plans for season 3 were put on hold, Beaulieu said, "A little bit. We're waiting for it to be resolved. We'll see how it settles!"
Season 3 boasted a queer storyline, a love triangle and a cliffhanger involving a pregnancy. Within six days after launching, it garnered 117.6 million hours viewed and landed in the Top 10 in 93 countries. Emily in Paris is one of the several shows with screenwriters in the guild that are due to film in France and are being impacted by the strike.
Another anticipated series that's partly set in Paris and has been delayed is Etoile, a ballet drama created by Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, the team behind The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
