Collins is perhaps best known for her role as the title character in Emily in Paris, which is due to return to Netflix this August for its fourth season.
The official logline for the new season of Emily in Paris suggests that Emily is "reeling" following the dramatic events at Camille and Gabriel's wedding.
"She has strong feelings for two men, but now Gabriel’s expecting a baby with his ex, and Alfie’s worst fears about her and Gabriel have been confirmed," the synopsis adds.
Season four will also see Emily and Gabriel grow closer as they work to get the restaurant a Michelin star, though "two big secrets threaten to undo everything they've dreamed of."
Emily in Paris seasons 1-3 are streaming on Netflix. Season 4 part 1 premieres on Thursday, August 15, followed by season 4 part 2 on Thursday, September 12.
