Here’s where you recognise the cast of Emily in Paris season two from

All everyone’s binging right now is season two of Netflix’s Emily in Paris and that’s because it’s soooo damn good. Watching Emily balance her chaotic life as a social media manager at Savoir with her ongoing relationship drama is, frankly, the stuff of dreams. But the show is only as good as its actors and among them are some rather familiar faces. Here’s where you might recognise the cast of Emily in Paris season two from:

Emily Cooper is played by Lily Collins

Lily Collins plays the title character, a Chicago-born twenty-something living her best life in Paris.

The daughter of musician Phil Collins, Lily has previously starred in Abduction as well as making appearances in Mirror Mirror and Extremely, Shockingly Evil and Vile.

Alfie is played by Lucien Laviscount

Alfie is a businessman from London who becomes yet another love interest for Emily. He’s played by Lucien Laviscount who is basically an unsung icon of British TV drama. Lucien’s been in everything from Coronation Street, Grange Hill, Skins, Supernatural and Clocking Off.

But who could forget his performance as Jonah in Waterloo Road when he embarked on a relationship with Spanish teacher Miss Montoy?. That show was honestly batshit and I’m so here for it.

Mindy Chen is played by Ashley Park

Mindy met Emily by chance in season one while she was working in Paris as a nanny. The two became best friends, with Mindy helping Emily negotiate French culture.

As well as playing Mindy, Ashley Park has previously appeared as Jennifer in Tales of the City, a Netflix drama set in a San Francisco apartment complex.

But she is mainly known for her work in theatre and was nominated for a Tony award for her performance as Gretchen Wieners in Mean Girls on Broadway.

She’s also listed on IMDB as having played Colette in Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical.

Gabriel is played by Lucas Bravo

I mean we all know the real reason everyone loves Emily in Paris. It’s Gabriel. He’s the reason.

Gabriel is Emily’s neighbour who lives downstairs and unsurprisingly he’s swiftly become one of the protagonist’s potential love interests.

Bravo has appeared in French shows Sous le soleil de Saint-Tropez and Plus belle la vie, among others. If you don’t speak French, you may not have seen them. But I’d make a prediction that by the end of this article you’ll have already downloaded Duolingo and you’ll be on your third pain au chocolat of the day.
