"Needless to say, that bouncer likely would recognize them now: The Netflix show has become so identified with its titular city that French President Emmanuel Macron advocated to keep Emily in Paris after she moved to Rome in the Season 4 finale. Audiences immediately fell for Emily, an American who's thrust into the haughty world of luxury marketing when she's transferred to a French boutique agency, and Park's Mindy, the first person Emily connects with in Paris."
"While Collins established herself as an actor in films like The Blind Side, Love, Rosie, and the Oscar-nominated Mank, Emily in Paris - which marked her first lead TV role - made her a household name around the world. Park says the series changed the trajectory of her career, as her first major TV role (previously, her resume consisted largely of Broadway shows, including a Tony-nominated turn as Gretchen Wieners in Mean Girls: The Musical)."
Six years ago Lily Collins and Ashley Park were virtually unknown in France, once blocked by a security guard at a cast welcome party when they identified themselves as being with Emily in Paris. The series centers on Emily, an American in Paris working in luxury marketing, and Park's Mindy, Emily's first Paris connection. Over 50 million households watched Season 1 after its October 2020 premiere, and Season 4 later topped Netflix's TV chart, reaching over 67 million viewers across two parts. Collins transitioned from film to global television stardom, while Park moved from Broadway to major television recognition. Season 5 premiered in Paris aboard the Venice-Simplon Orient Express. Increased fame expanded their professional connections and visibility.
