The three protagonists of the season talked about everything from female friendship, cultural differences, and which character’s clothes they would like to make their own
Emily In Paris Season 3 premiered on December 21 on the Netflix platform and promises to fill our hours with lots of fashion, French stereotypes, but also an ode to female friendship.
The sequel to the series that first appeared during the pandemic, bringing a bit of fun to an otherwise difficult time, remains as authentic and unadulterated as the previous two seasons. American star Lily Collins is still at the narrative core, lighting up the screen with her relentless yet refreshing positivity.
What’s slightly different about this season is that the show is much more interested in exploring the wider universe of characters surrounding Emily. Her best friend and aspiring singer, Mindy, comes to the fore with her own powerful stories, while Camille takes on perhaps the most exciting role of all. The dynamic between these three women and especially the development of the complicated friendship that develops between them is the true love story of this season.
The three protagonists of the third season, Lily Collins (Emily), Ashley Park (Mindy) and Camille Razat (Camille) spoke to thekit.ca, revealing their own thoughts on everything we’ll see unfold in the new episodes:
“I’m so happy we’re all together. It’s interesting because the first season came out during COVID, so we were all doing separate press conferences. This season, we can all be here together, and it’s like an evolution of the natural and what it should be. After all, Emily is who she is because of the characters that surround her, so we had to turn to them in the new season,” commented Collins.
“There are a lot more opportunities to use each other’s skills as performers to improve our own. We exist for each other in new ways. So it highlights female friendships and camaraderie and empowerment in a way that I don’t think viewers have seen before,” she added.
“The nuance in these friendships is something we really need to explore. It’s not just plot-based,” Park added.
Commenting on the friendship between Emily and Camille, Razat said: “It’s a very complicated situation, in which it’s nice to test yourself as an actor. The two heroines try hard to trust each other. They really want to be friends.”
“There’s a level of respect that makes it more complicated,” adds Collins.
The protagonists were asked if they notice differences between how French people and Americans make friends.
“There are. Not in a negative way, but there is a cultural difference. It’s just another way of saying things,” Razat commented.
“The French are more direct. Or sometimes our sarcasm differs. You’re right that on the surface the way we make friends and connect can be completely different, but it’s also fun when you find someone from a different place with a different background than you and you instantly bond with them,” Park added.
Finally, they couldn’t help but comment on which character’s clothes they’d like to steal from the wardrobe:
“Who has the most expensive things? I wouldn’t mind Sylvie (Emily’s very stylish boss), though I don’t know if I can pull it off like her. Or Julien’s. I love a good oversized blazer,” commented Park.
“I will always go to Camille. Her wardrobe is what I would wear. Every day, I say, “Are these mine or the wardrobe’s?” I just want to know if I can go get it,” Collins said with a laugh.
Razat for her part revealed: “I would go for Sylvie’s wardrobe because it’s more my style. She is very Parisian. But I love both Mindy and Emily, because there’s a joy that is sometimes missing from my own wardrobe. They wear so many colors and do it so well. In my own personal style, I don’t know how to wear colors, because I’m always in black and white.”
