Casting Call for 'Emily in Paris': Only the Beautiful Need Apply in Venice

Lilly Collins arrives at the Palazzo Franchetti in Venice on August 16 as filming continues for the new season of Emily in Paris

Spill the Tea: Emily in Paris Heads to Venice, and the Drama is About to Get Even Juicier!

Get ready for a season of scandals, romance, and drama as the hit Netflix show Emily in Paris takes over the breathtaking city of Venice! The production team has been casting extras with a very specific requirement - they must be "beautiful" and fit a size from 38 to 42. Yes, you read that right - only the most stunning Venetians will make it onto the show!

According to sources close to the production, the show is looking for over 500 extras who can pull off the perfect Parisian (or should we say, Venetian?) look. And by "perfect," they mean a lean physique and a dress size of 6 or less! Talk about pressure on those poor Venetians!

Meanwhile, Lily Collins, the star of Emily in Paris, has been getting into character for the new season. She took to Instagram over the weekend to share some sultry snaps from a water taxi ride with her co-star Eugenio Franceschini. "A very Venetian getaway," she captioned the photos, complete with a cheeky wink and a flirtatious smile.

But what's really got fans buzzing is the news that Emily (Lily Collins) will be moving to Rome in series five! And get this - she'll be taking a romantic trip to Venice with none other than Marcello Muratori (Eugenio Franceschini). We can already imagine the sparks flying between these two gorgeous leads!

Of course, we all know what happens when Emily's heart gets involved. Last season saw her torn between Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and Camille (Camille Razat), with a fake pregnancy scandal thrown in for good measure. But will she finally find love with Marcello? Or will it be another case of "it's complicated"?

Speaking of Camille, the actress who plays her has just revealed that she won't be returning to the show. In an emotional Instagram post, she bid farewell to fans and thanked them for their support over the years. It looks like Emily in Paris is saying goodbye to one of its most beloved characters!

But fear not, Camille fans! The show's producers have promised that the actress will make a memorable exit. And with the new season promising even more drama and romance, we can't wait to see what the future holds for our favorite French expat.

In other news, the mayor of Veneto has hailed the arrival of Emily in Paris as a major coup for the city. "It's extraordinary news that confirms how our territory is increasingly attractive for major global audiovisual productions," he said, praising Venice's unique heritage and teamwork between institutions and operators in the sector.
