French President Emmanuel Macron is (surprisingly) a fan of Netflix’s Emily in Paris, and he wants the show to stay in the country. The comments come as the show that many love to hate plans for its protagonist to go away to Rome, Italy, after the show was mostly filmed in France since its release in 2020.

The mayor of Rome has responded to French President Emmanuel Macron’s vow to “fight hard” to keep Emily in Paris from moving to Italy for good. The hit Netflix series’ fourth season showed Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) relocating from Paris to Rome for her job with a luxury marketing firm.

When Netflix’s hit show “Emily in Paris” revealed at the end of season four that its lead character was heading to Rome, it caught many viewers by surprise. Now, French President Emmanuel Macron has waded into the conversation and said the country “will fight hard” to stop the show relocating to Italy’s capital.
