While in Paris, Emily embraces her adventurous new life while juggling work, friends, and love life.

As of 2024, the series has been renewed for a fifth season.

Who is Genevieve in Emily In Paris?

Genevieve is the step-daughter of Sylvie Grateau and the daughter of his current husband Laurent Grateau. Introduced in season four of the series, Genevieve (played by Thalia Besson) is another American addition to the French marketing firm, similar to Emily. It was learned that Sylvie’s stepdaughter was American (through Laurent’s affair with an American woman) who grew up in the States and had very little knowledge of her father. Genevieve attended and graduated from NYU.

In the latest season, Genevieve arrives in France for her first Christmas with her father Laurent and her step-mother Sylvie Grateau, with the hope of landing a job in Paris as an assistant for a fashion icon. Sylvie, who is not quite happy with Genevieve’s arrival, tries to get her settled fast only to get stuck with the option of offering her a job at Agence Grateau (which Genevieve accepts).

Why did Genevieve create a fight between Emily and Gabriel?

Genevieve was welcomed with open arms by Emily Cooper during her first day at Agence Grateau. Initially the former was super friendly with her mentor Cooper but things changed for the worse right after she met Emily’s (ex) boyfriend, Gabriel. Genevieve instantly felt attracted to the chef and wanted to date him.

The once kind and naive Genevieve was then shown actively trying to get between Emily and Gabriel, by lying to Emily about what Gabriel had said to her in French, creating a sly misunderstanding and turning the tables in her favor. In the workplace too, Genevieve began causing chaos for Emily by supplying her own pitch and ideas during mid-meetings, without running it through the Agence Grateau team first. As the episodes passed by, it was made clear that Genevive was far from being kind. The character was highly ambitious and was clear about pulling each situation to better her odds.

Does Gabriel fall in love with Genevieve?

No, despite Genevieve kissing him at her housewarming party. Gabriel never reciprocated the same. In fact, when the former rushed to his restaurant to celebrate with Gabriel’s Michelin Star and to kiss him again, the chef politely rejected her advances and explained that he sees her as a friend. By the end of the episode, Gabriel is seen asking Emily’s best friend Mindy her whereabouts and where he can find her in Rome.
