The romantic-comedy series Emily in Paris, starring Lily Collins, became a hit with audiences when it first premiered on Netflix in the fall of 2020. Despite receiving backlash from some viewers, the show’s popularity continued to grow, and now, as the third season is released, Collins reflects on its success.
In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Collins shared her thoughts on the show’s timing, stating that it came out during a time when travel was not possible, so people craved that escapism even more. She also noted that Paris is a character in itself, and its beauty adds to the show’s allure.
Collins also spoke about how the show’s critics and naysayers softened as its success continued. When they returned to film the second season, people would come up to them on the street and express their gratitude for making them smile during difficult times.

Emily in Paris may have faced criticism, but its popularity speaks for itself. As the pandemic continues, shows like this provide much-needed entertainment and escapism for audiences around the world.
