Lily Collins is traveling abroad in Younger creator Darren Star’s upcoming Paramount Network dramedy Emily in Paris.
Shot on location in the French capital, the series follows Emily (Collins), “a driven twenty-something from the Midwest who moves to Paris for an unexpected job opportunity,” per the official synopsis. “Tasked with bringing an American point of view to a venerable French marketing firm, cultures clash as she adjusts to the challenges of life in a foreign city, while juggling her career, new friendships and love life.”
Collins — whose credits include the TV series The Last Tycoon and the Mortal Instruments movie — will also serve as an executive producer on the show, which is slated to premiere in 2020.
