Lily Collins is expressing her desire for a shift in scenery for the hit Netflix series “Emily in Paris,” suggesting that it might be time for Emily to explore the vibrant streets of London. In a recent interview with the BBC, Collins, who plays the titular character, mentioned that a London-themed spinoff would inject some fresh excitement into the show. She imagines Emily visiting iconic spots like Portobello Road to hunt for antiques, stopping by Big Ben, and exploring the famous toy store Hamleys.
Collins, currently in London for a West End production, seemed to revel in her experiences of the city. She highlighted her love for riding the Tube and the joy of sitting on the front of a double-decker bus, taking in the sights and bustling atmosphere without a specific destination in mind.
With season four of “Emily in Paris” recently wrapping up, viewers saw Emily packing her bags and leaving the romance of Paris—and her love interest, Gabriel, played by Lucas Bravo—behind for a new adventure in Rome. This new direction introduced her to an Italian love interest, adding complexity to her journey.
Speaking of Gabriel, Lucas Bravo recently shared his thoughts about his character’s development on the series. While Bravo has enjoyed playing the role since its inception, he expressed some frustration with how Gabriel has evolved over the seasons. He noted a disconnect from the character, who has shifted away from his charming beginnings to a more melancholic persona. Given that Bravo’s contract is up after season four, he indicated he is questioning whether he wants to return for a potential fifth season unless there is a rejuvenation of Gabriel’s character.
As anticipation builds for what lies ahead for “Emily in Paris,” Collins’ enthusiasm for a London setting hints at the endless possibilities for new adventures, style, and, of course, romance. The question now remains: will Netflix take the plunge into the British capital for the next chapter of Emily’s escapades?
