Emily in Paris is a fun romantic comedy-drama. It follows Emily Cooper, a young American in Paris for work. She faces culture shocks and language struggles. But hey, she dives into fashion, art and food. Show shines with its stylish take on Paris life. Witty writing and charming performances make it a must-watch. It’s like a love letter to Paris, with a few typos along the way.

Meet the characters from Emily in Paris

Emily Cooper

Okay, Emily is pure, earnest chaos in a Chanel jacket — she’s relentlessly optimistic, totally unfiltered, and somehow thinks every awkward situation can be solved with a cheeky Instagram post (true story). She hustles at marketing like it’s a romantic comedy montage and eats croissants with the single-minded focus of a spy on a mission. Charming, borderline naive but also weirdly tenacious; she’s the friend who will plan your life and then impulsively adopt a stray dog at midnight. Also she loves lists but loses them immediately, classic Emily.

Sylvie

Sylvie is that perfectly dry, cold-brewed Parisian boss who wears power suits and could cut you with a look — in the best way. She’s elegant, razor-smart, suspicious of enthusiasm, and secretly pulls the strings while pretending she barely noticed you were alive (honestly iconic). Deep down she’s a softie? Maybe. Don’t tell anyone; she will deny it while sipping espresso and rearranging the office into a feng shui death trap.

Mindy

Mindy bursts in like a glitter cannon — loud, loving, and obsessed with pop culture and food (seriously, she treats cupcakes like spiritual experiences). She’s fiercely loyal, sings in the shower and probably into musical numbers in public for reasons I endorse, and she gives the best advice even if it’s sometimes wildly impractical. A chaos-magic heart on two dancing feet; she’s also weirdly meticulous about her group chats, which is adorable and confusing.

Gabriel

Gabriel is the smoldering, sensitive chef-next-door who somehow burns things and makes them taste like heaven — broody, kind, and somehow tragically romantic. He flirts like it’s a sport but then texts with the emotional depth of a novel, so confusing in the best way. Loyal to his food, dramatic about his soufflés, and surprisingly tender with tiny animals (cats or pigeons, take your pick). Also has a tendency to brood alone on rooftops, which is very on-brand.

Julien

Julien is warm, charming, a little flirty, and basically the kind of friend who knows everyone’s order before they sit down — baker/chef vibes, very hands-on, loves gossip but would never mean harm. He speaks in quick jokes and honest smiles, and he’s shockingly protective of his crew (don’t cross Julien’s bakery). He’s a rule-following rule-breaker? Like he respects tradition but will absolutely add sriracha to a classic.

Camille

Camille is soft-spoken, poetically trapped in a love triangle, and somehow both elegantly composed and emotionally volcanic — in that slow-burn French way. She’s artistic, thoughtful, and has a tendency to make tea and then forget to drink it because she’s thinking about feelings. A gentle moral center who’s also complicated and secretly a little mischievous (she will steal your last piece of chocolate and smile apologetically).

Luc

Luc is the office flirt with a heart, forever trying to climb social ladders but mostly just providing comic relief and style tips (sometimes unsolicited, often useful). He’s a little insecure, very fashion-forward, and loves elevating mundane things into chic scandals — dramatic eyebrow included. Acts cynical but softens around puppies and pastries, which is the hill I will die on.

Alfie

Alfie is the charming, polite Brit who likes his tea like his emotions: understated but present — classy, steady, and low-key adorable. He’s bookish and rules-oriented (schedules! timetables!), yet also has a wildly unpredictable streak like he’ll suddenly dance in a museum aisle for no reason. Gentlemanly, wistful, and just a tiny bit bewildered by excessive enthusiasm — which is hilarious because he somehow becomes the fun one.

Mathieu Cadault

Mathieu has that crisp, impeccably curated art-world vibe — cultured, slightly aloof, and very opinionated about cheese pairings (a very specific kind of snob). He’s a connoisseur of taste and manners, secretly sentimental about old postcards, and will give brilliant advice while gently judging your playlist. He’s the person who can appreciate modern art and interpretive dance in the same breath, then roll his eyes at your sneaker choices.

Pierre Cadault

Pierre is the warm, silver-fox type who looks like he belongs on a vintage wine label — playful, a bit world-weary, and disarmingly charming when he wants to be. He’s a traditionalist with a mischievous streak (will insist on formal dinner etiquette and then show up in a ridiculous hat). Deeply proud of family and annoyingly good at French history trivia, but also the one who will secretly bring street crepes to a gala.

Benoit

Benoit is reliably grounded, quietly funny, and the kind of practical character you want adjacent to your life — competent, slightly stubborn, and very loyal. He’s unfussy about food but dramatically opinionated about the right way to fix a leaky pipe (ask him, he knows). Sweet in an old-fashioned way, occasionally petty about small slights, and has an inexplicable hobby like collecting vintage matchboxes or cataloguing restaurant napkins.
