Emily in Paris season 2 was one of the most highly anticipated new releases of the year, and there’s no doubt the romantic comedy series will be one of the best Netflix shows of 2021.

The Emmy-nominated Netflix original series returns on Dec. 22 after the high-profile debut split audiences and critics last fall. But around these parts, we love Emily in Paris.

Lily Collins returns in the titular role in Emily in Paris season 2, and she will be joined with a number of returning main cast members, new additions to the main cast, and fresh faces we have yet to meet.

Get to know the Emily in Paris season 2 cast before the new episodes drop on Netflix ahead of the holidays. Who’s back and who should fans watch out for?

As previously mentioned, Lily Collins of course will be back as Emily, and all of the cast members we know and love will also be back in their roles as Emily’s friends, co-workers, and “it’s complicated” lovers.

The only difference between the cast of season 1 and the cast of season 2 is William Abadie’s promotion to a series regular. He previously recurred as a client at Savoir who was having a secret affair with Sylvie.

Check out the complete main cast of Emily in Paris below:

While the complete lineup of recurring players in season 2 hasn’t yet been confirmed, and probably won’t be until the episodes premiere, we know a small group we’ll definitely see back in Emily’s orbit:

Kate Walsh plays Emily’s boss in Chicago, Arnaud Viard plays the owner of Savoir, and Lucien Laviscount joins the cast in season 2 as a potential new love interest for Emily. Stay tuned for more Emily in Paris season 2 cast updates!
