We know there’s more to come for the likes of Emily, Gabriel and Camille, but why was Emily in Paris season 4 only released in five episodes? Here’s what you need to know – spoilers ahead!.

Why was Emily in Paris season 4 only five episodes?

Emily in Paris season 4 will drop in two parts, which is why the first batch only consisted of five episodes.

The second batch of episodes will be released on 12th September, where viewers will see how Emily and Gabriel’s relationship progresses after they finally decided to give things a shot.

Fans were left feeling like they wanted more after bingeing through the first five episodes, with one person writing on X: "I hate netflix for not releasing the next 5 episodes of emily in paris [sic]."

Another fan said: "We waited 2 YEARS only to get 5 episodes of Emily In Paris. What s*** is this????"

Someone else commented: "Waiting a whole month for part 2 such a scam," as another said: "Was genuinely sad when I finished the 5 new episodes, there should be infinite Emily in Paris episodes that I could just play in the background of my life forever."

With the new season Netflix have followed the release format in the way they dropped Stranger Things season 4, Bridgerton season 3 and The Night Agent.

Emily in Paris season 4 ends on a shocking twist, with Camille finding out she's not actually pregnant. She also breaks up with Sofia after she grows frustrated with their complicated situation with Gabriel, particularly living in the same apartment block as him. Both are storylines which creator Darren Star says will only bring more emotion to part 2 of season 4.

He told USA Today: “That’s certainly a big part of Part 2: What are the ramifications of all that?” He added: “It certainly plays out in some unexpected ways.”

He said Camille, too, “is really wonderful in the second half. We have such a fantastic cast, and there’s a lot more emotional stuff this season.”
