When asked to describe Season 4 of “Emily in Paris,” series star Lucien Laviscount had three choice words: “Chaotic,” “opulent” and a little bit “heartbreaking.”

“We’ve known these characters for a lot longer now, so we hit a little bit deeper notes and deeper tones,” Laviscount told Variety about the new season, which is broken up into two parts. “So I feel like — how can I put it? It’s a journey.”

On Wednesday night, Laviscount and the glamorous cast of “Emily in Paris,” as well as series creator, writer and executive producer Darren Star, posed for photographers outside of Hollywood’s Egyptian Theater. The famed cinema was transformed into a petal pink runway to celebrate the fourth season premiere of the Netflix dramedy series.

Lucas Bravo, who plays Gabriel, one of Emily’s European beaux, described the new episodes as “more mature” — ripping away the naivety that comes with living in a foreign country and getting to the heart of the characters’ problems.

“Darren’s writing, it’s kind of ’90s style. It’s all misunderstandings and not verbalizing and not addressing. So it creates problems. This season, there’s a lot of confrontation, so it feels more real,” Bravo said. “It’s less about being fish out of water in a city that you’re trying to understand. It’s more about just being adults.”

Season 3 ended in dramatic fashion, with Emily and Gabriel forced to confront their lingering feelings for one another during his impromptu wedding to pregnant girlfriend Camille (Camille Razat), which Emily attended with her boyfriend Alfie (Laviscount). As such, Collins teased that her titular heroine has some difficult decisions to make the upcoming episodes.

“I’m excited for everyone to see her be a bit more mature and vulnerable,” Collins said, echoing Bravo’s sentiment. “I think there’s a lot of decisions that she has to make, and along the way, there’s gonna be highs and lows, and I love that. This year, she finally gets to feel all the feelings. And, you know, have a few breakdowns.”

“Emily in Paris” Season 4 Part 1 is now streaming on Netflix.
