It has been reported that Emily In Paris's recurring guest William Abadie, who played Antoine in Season 1 of the popular Netflix series, will be bumped up to a series regular in its upcoming Season 2. Adding to the exciting news, Lucien Laviscount will also be joining the cast during Season 2 as a new love interest to lead character Emily, played by Lily Collins.

Abadie was initially seen in Season 1 as Antoine Lambert, a charming owner of a fragrance company, a client of Emily’s, and an investor in Emily’s neighbor Gabriel’s restaurant. Moving into Season 2, Antoine will become more involved with Emily’s life as he and Gabriel clash over visions of the restaurant. Laviscount will star as sarcastic and charming cynic character Alfie, who was born and raised in London and refuses to speak French or become entangled in its culture. Throughout Season 2, Alfie will enjoy teasing Emily until their relationship evolves into something more; however, the two will begin to realize that they are quite dissimilar.
