Fans of Emily in Paris with questions about behind the scenes aspects of the show, such as filming challenges and technical secrets, are getting some major answers. During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly , director Andy Fleming reflected on his involvement with the show over the past four seasons . He also teased how the fourth season compares to what viewers have become accustomed to with the hit Netflix series.

“The episodes are much more complicated now. They are much more challenging, interesting and involved more creativity,” Fleming told Us before the first part of season 4 started streaming on Thursday, August 15. “But also the most important thing is that Emily [ Lily Collins ] was very young, naive, optimistic and kind of perky on the show.

She’s a different person now.” According to Fleming, Emily continues to evolve throughout season 4. “She’s more grown up since she’s a citizen of Paris and she’s more confident in herself.

The big thing this season — which is very different from the other season — is it’s a little darker and it’s a little more mature,” he teased. “And we shot in winter so it was a different feel. We changed the director of photography and he embraced light and shadow more.

It’s more the difference between light and dark.” Emily in Paris , which debuted in 2020, follows Emily as she makes the move from the U.S.
