Netflix’s hit over-the-top rom-com series Emily in Paris has been renewed by the streaming giant for a third and fourth season, according to a report.

Upcoming seasons will apparently pick up with Emily in Paris and will be shot in the Studios of Paris in the French capital, with other sites, including London, also being considered.

Emily in Paris is a Darren Star creation and Netflix’s original romantic comedy show. It is once again in the news for its third season, which so far is speculated to be released after the second one.
