May 3 (UPI) -- Emily in Paris will return with a two-part season in August.

Netflix announced Friday that Season 4 will be split into two parts, with Part 1 to premiere Aug. 15 and Part 2 to follow Sept. 12.

In an accompanying video, the Emily in Paris cast described the new season as vulnerable, messy, chaotic, heartbreaking, adventurous and fashionable.

Emily in Paris is a romantic comedy-drama series created by Darren Star (Sex and the City, Younger).

The show follows the personal and professional life of Emily Cooper (Lily Collins), a 20-something American who moves to Paris to join a French marketing firm.

Season 4 opens after the dramatic events of Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and Camille's (Camille Razat) misbegotten wedding and news the pair are expecting a child.

"Emily has strong feelings for two men, but Gabriel is on the verge of becoming a father, and ex-boyfriend Alfie's (Lucien Laviscount) worst fears about her and Gabriel have been confirmed. Unfortunately, Emily and Gabriel's chemistry is undeniable as they work together toward a Michelin star, but two big secrets threaten to undo everything they've dreamed of," an official synopsis reads.

Star told Netflix's Tudum to expect "new characters, a lot more drama, romance, and a whole new language to try and master" as the characters travel to Rome in Season 4.

Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Ashley Park, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery and William Abadie also star.

Park, who plays Mindy Chen, rejoined the cast this spring after experiencing a serious health scare in January.
