People Editorial Guidelines Published on November 30, 2022 09:01AM EST Netflix has an early Christmas gift for Emily in Paris fans. The streaming network on Wednesday dropped the trailer for season 3 of their hit series, all episodes of which will release on Dec. 21. After a major cliffhanger in season 2 —in which Lily Collins' Emily Cooper contemplated accepting a job offer from her boss Madeline (Kate Walsh) that would require her to leave Paris, or follow her prickly but formidable mentor Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) to a new company – the marketing executive appears to be back in the City of Light, though "pulling double duty," as her best friend Mindy (Ashley Park) notes," while seemingly working for both. "This is the hardest decision I've ever had to make," Emily laments in the clip, later questioning how she knows she made the right decision and admitting to dealing with some "existential angst." "That's so American," Sylvie quips. Everything to Know About Emily in Paris Season 3 Courtesy of Netflix Of course, it can't all be work, with Emily still in a lusty love triangle with steamy chef Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and dapper Brit Alfie (Lucien Laviscount). "You changed my life," Gabriel tells her during a late night card ride, while Alfie and Emily jet off on a romantic getaway to French wine country where they take a hot air balloon ride over a château and all. "We always talk about work life balance and right now I am all about life," she says, ahead of a montage of celebratory scenes from the series.

Teasing what's to come, Star previously opened up about his desire to dive deeper into Emily's past. "I really love how Emily gets more assimilated into French culture and I love seeing that evolution and transformation of somebody who's made Paris their home and how that changes them," he told Entertainment Tonight in December 2021. "What we really haven't seen — except for Madeline (Kate Walsh), we get it a little bit — is how Emily is in relation to people that she's left behind and how being an expatriate for a longer period of time changes her relationship with her home." Seasons 1 and 2 of Emily in Paris are currently streaming on Netflix.
