Emily in Paris will also be Emily in Rome in season four
Surprise, surprise: the season will be split into two parts, premiering August 15 and September 12
Netflix announced the premiere date for Emily In Paris season four today, and—who woulda thunk!—it’s actually two premiere dates. While two for the price of one is usually a great deal, this is kind of worst-case scenario. Netflix keeps splitting its seasons into two—and sometimes even three—parts, and we’re incredibly sick of it. It ruins the flow of the series and interrupts the binge method the streamer worked so hard to foist on all of us a decade ago. At this point, why not just go back to the Old Ways and release episodes weekly? It’s what everyone actually wants. You could be a hero, Netflix!
Anyway. Part one of Emily In Paris season four will hit the streamer on August 15, with the back half arriving almost a month later, on September 12. In the most generous explanation for this decision, maybe the show needed to take some time off air to make an intra-continental rail trip that Emily embarks on seem more realistic, timing-wise. Those just don’t happen in the 24-hour period it would probably take a really dedicated viewer to binge a whole season of this.
