Emily in Paris has tapped a legendary actor to join the iconic cast of the hit Netflix series.
In the first part of the fourth season, which airs on August 15, 65-year-old British actor Rupert Everett stars opposite Lily Collins.
Rupert plays Giorgio Barbieri, the owner of an international interior design firm based in Rome.
Giorgio makes it his business to know the business of others and to be the life of every party. He has been friends with Sylvie for decades.
In addition to Rupert, four other newcomers have joined the cast: Anna Galiena, Raoul Bova, Thalia Besson and Eugenio Franceschini.

In the first part of the fourth season, which airs on August 15, British actor Rupert Everett, 65, stars alongside Lily Collins
Lily, who plays American Emily Cooper, has already been spotted filming with handsome newcomer Eugenio.
Eugenio plays the character Marcello, a direct, confident character who values simplicity. He is substantive but never flashy — true to the roots of his family’s business.
The first five shows will be available from August 15. Viewers will have to wait almost a month for the second part in September.
And the cast, which includes Lucien Laviscount, 31, who plays Emily’s British love interest Alfie, and Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, 61, aka her Parisian boss Sylvie, say the new season will bring more drama than ever before.
Lucien called the series “chaotic” and “heartbreaking,” while Philippine gave a sneak peek by saying the new episodes will be all about “revenge.”
In May, Lily announced, “Season four comes out on August 15th for part one. Part two comes out on September 12th, you’re welcome.”
In an accompanying video, Lily and her co-stars gave three words for how they would describe the new series. Camille Razat, 30, whose character discovered she was pregnant at the end of season three, said it was “messy.”
Ashley Park, 32, who plays Emily’s best friend Mindy Chen, joked: “If I could describe season four in three words right now… it’s not over yet…”

Emily fell in love with neighbor Gabriel (pictured), aka Lucas Bravo, 36, despite the chef having an on-again, off-again relationship with her good friend Camille
Luca, one of Emily’s French colleagues, played by Bruno Gouery, hinted at a possible new love interest for the marketing director by naming the series “Bellezza,” which means “beauty” in Italian.
His teaser follows new photos from the upcoming series which show Emily gazing lovingly at a handsome man, played by actor Eugenio Franceschini, during scenes filmed in Rome, Italy, at the Trevi Fountain.
Emily hasn’t exactly had any luck with dating since moving from Chicago to Paris to pursue her dream job in marketing.
She fell in love with her neighbour Gabriel, also known as Lucas Bravo, 36, despite the chef having an on-again, off-again relationship with her good friend Camille.
Her romance with Brit Alfie came to a dramatic end when Camille refused to marry Gabriel in the final episode of season three, revealing that she had always known about his hidden feelings for Emily.
There are still secrets to be revealed, such as Camille’s affair with artist Sofia. Emily knows about it, but Gabriel knows nothing about it.
And then there’s the big reveal of Camille’s pregnancy, which makes it even harder to imagine a possible romance between Emily and Gabriel.
Emily In Paris was created by Sex and the City writer Darren Star, who has admitted he understands why viewers are drawing comparisons between Lily’s character and Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker.
He said: ‘I can see why people connect the two shows. They’re both set in a glamorous city with a female lead, but the idea of Emily In Paris was very different. I’ve wanted to write a show about an expat living in Paris for a while.’
In January, Lily revealed that she was back filming with the cast in Paris and admitted that she needed to work on her selfie skills for the sake of her influencer persona.
