Will there be a season two of Emily in Paris?

There hasn't been any official confirmation from Netflix on whether Emily in Paris will be renewed for a second season.

However, the show's creator Darren Star recently spoke about the possibility for a second series, telling Vanity Fair: "In season 2, she's going to be more of a part of the fabric of the world she's living in.

"She'll be more of a resident of the city.

"She'll have her feet on the ground a little more. She's making a life there.

"We have a great world of characters that we’ve established.

"I’d like to explore so much more of the supporting cast, like Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, who plays Emily’s boss.

"I think we’ve just scratched the surface of who she is and what makes her tick."

"I certainly have a lot of thoughts about where I’d like to see things going, and I know that there’s a lot of story to telI don’t believe, as an American, you’re ever at home in Paris.

"In terms of a second season, there are certainly a lot of roads to follow."

Star Lily Collins also spoke about the possibility of a second season, adding: "I would love nothing more than to be able to go back to Paris and do [a new season]."

"There were so many situations that we were like: 'Okay, write that down. That’s going to happen in season two.'

"Also, there were many experiences where we were like: ‘Does Emily go abroad? Do you think Emily takes the Eurostar and hops out and goes to Belgium or she goes to London?'

"That would be so much fun...I’m like: ‘Darren [Star], there are so many opportunities to just travel internationally when you’re here.'"

And speaking about getting into character for Emily, Lily added: "I didn't want to model her specifically on one person but more the attributes and characteristics of the women that I surround myself with, who I love, and make her kind of an amalgamation of all of those women. I’m very much a product of the people I surround myself with sometimes. . .I wanted every young woman to be able to look at Emily and go, ‘Oh, there’s a part of me in her." And so, I didn't want to model her specifically on one person."
