    Ashley Park's on-screen character enjoys some "big moments" in the new season of Emily in Paris

    The 34-year-old actress plays Mindy Chen on the Netflix series, and Ashley has revealed what fans can expect from her character during the upcoming season


    Ashley told Us Weekly: "There's definitely some big, big moments in terms of song and dance with Mindy this year, which I'm super excited for people to see."

    Mindy also goes on an emotional rollercoaster during the new season.

    Ashley stars as the best friend of Emily, played by Lily Collins, in the show, and the upcoming season really explores their friendship.

    The actress explained: "There's a lot of emotional elements in this new season that we really haven't delved into before.

    "I think it's always fun doing that, that we really understand the characters in those relationships, the friendship between them and that sisterhood, all the real ways in which those get tested."

    What's more, Ashley loved the experience of shooting the new season in Italy.

    She said: "That teaser is just from Rome, and as people know, we filmed in Rome, Paris for a big chunk and also Venice, so it feels like we filmed three movies in one summer.

    "The first season, I spent most of my time sitting in a cafe talking to Emily, and this season, I kid you not, I spent more hours on a boat than sitting in a café: the different water taxis in Venice, the gondolas, the speedboats in Rome. I was on a boat a lot."

    Meanwhile, Darren Star, the show's creator, previously confirmed that Lucien Laviscount, who plays Alfie, is set to play a more prominent role in season five of the show.

    The character only appeared in a handful of episodes in season four, but Alfie will appear more often during the upcoming season.

    Darren told Deadline: "Lucien is basically in every episode this season. He's terrific, and I'm really happy to see him back this year in a more significant way."
