The cast of Emily in Paris is back filming and star Ashley Park has given us all a glimpse into what Mindy is up to in Season 4. Park announced her return to set on social media, preparing fans for a stylish return. After a tumultuous relationship with Emily (Lily Collins) in Season 3, struggling in her own relationship with Benoit (Kevin Dias), and ending up with her former classmate Nico (Paul Forman), there was a lot working against Mindy and Emily as friends. What that means for Season 4? We don’t know yet, but these pictures that we now have from the set show Mindy back in action.
The images Park shared include a very sparkly jacket that says “Mindy” on the back as well as a stop at a “Haute Couture Hot Chocolate” stand that Park seemingly got for the cast and crew for her first day back on set. In the note it says that “Dearest Cast and Crew, Merci for the warm welcome back to Emily in Paris after your first few weeks of filming… Sorry to be late to the party! So happy to see you all again. Bisous Bisous, Ashley (Mindy).”
Park was late to join the cast due to a health scare. While filming did start a few weeks ago, Park had septic shock after tonsillitis and it delayed her return. But now, with Season 4 on the horizon, fans are excited to see what’s in store for Mindy and Emily after a considerably chaotic Season 3, its climactic finale, and that major cliffhanger ending.
What Does This Mean for Mindy’s Role in ‘Emily in Paris’ Season 4?
It is certainly understandable why Park couldn’t be with the cast and crew at the start of filming, and there are a number of ways the show can navigate around her absence in the early episodes of Season 4. For one, they could simply focus more on Emily at work or with Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) as they work through Camille’s (Camille Razat) surprise pregnancy, which was revealed just as Emily and Gabriel were finally about to end up together after three seasons of “will they, or won’t they?”
With that, as well as Mindy and Emily’s issues in Season 3, there is a lot for Emily to work through that doesn’t include her best friend. Either way, Park is back from her recovery, and we get to see what Mindy has in store for us in Season 4. Stay tuned to Collider for updates and check out Park‘s set photos below:
