So, Emily In Paris is back for series deux, to the delight of super-fans everywhere.

But after spilling the news via a video teaser, and a letter from Emily's fictional boss, Netflix dropped another even bigger bombshell - and it has knocked people for six.

Believe it or not, it turns out you've been pronouncing Emily In Paris wrong this whole time. Yes, really.

Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, the streaming platform teased: "Friendly reminder Emily in Paris is supposed to be pronounced with a French accent so 'Emily' and 'Paris' rhyme".



We just tried this and we sound like absolute plonkers.

Naturally, the response on social media was aghast.

"I'm sorry... what???," wrote one fan.

To which the jokers at Netflix replied: "I said what I said".

A second person penned: "Nope".

As a third follower joked: "It's true-real Parisians call the city "Pemily".

Meanwhile, a fourth protested: "If Emily can't be bothered to learn French we don't have to accept this."

Whatever you want to call the rom-com fashion fest, we're still delighted to see it's returning for another season.

In case you need a reminder, Emily in Paris follows Emily Cooper (Lily Collins), a young marketing exec from Chicago who moves the French capital for an exciting job opportunity when her company acquires a French luxury marketing firm.

Confronted with the bright lights of the city and all its sparkling, romantic splendour, the 20-something faces a culture clash and has to learn to adapt to her new life - and fast.

Tasked with revamping the company's social media strategy, Emily struggles to prove herself at work , all while dealing with the complicated issue of a love triangle involving her new friend Camille and hunky French chef (her neighbour), Gabriel.

Teasing what's to come in the next instalment, creator Darren Star - who is also behind hit HBO show Sex and the City - revealed to Oprah Magazine: "In season 2, she's going to be more of a part of the fabric of the world she's living in. She'll be more of a resident of the city.

"She'll have her feet on the ground a little more. She's making a life there."

90210 writer Star also addressed the major cliffhanger that season 1 ended on while speaking to TV Line.

With Gabriel and Camille's relationship on the cusp of a breakup after the chef decides to move to Normandy to open a restaurant, Emily and Gabriel spend his final night in the city together.

It's only the next day that Gabriel reveals he is staying after winning investment - which is good news for Emily, but makes things all the more complicated with the issue of the love triangle. Will Gabriel and Camille stay together now? What does it mean for Emily's relationship with the chef? And her friendship with Camille?

While the show's creator didn't give to much away, he did tease: "Nothing is sort of exactly as it seems to [Emily] and I think a lot of her ideas about life are constantly tested. And they will be next season, as well."

He went on: "What happens in the next chapter, I think, can be a real exploration of how does the relationship between these three characters evolve".

Bring on more Emilee In Pareee. (See what we did there?)
