Younger, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and others shows to watch if you like Emily in Paris
1) S*x and the City (Available on Amazon Video)
Created by the same creator as Emily in Paris (EIP), this celebrated drama ruled the airwaves during its six-season run. Heavily a part of pop culture, S*x and the City (SATC), has given iconic characters like Carrie Bradshaw and Samantha Jones. The series has also won a number of accolades.
SATC was one of the inspirations behind EIP and that show, as both shows serve ample doses of feminine chic and have similar themes of women juggling careers, friendships, and love. So, those in love with Emily should definitely watch SATC.
2) The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Available on Amazon Video)
Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, this comedy-drama is set in 1950s New York. It revolves around the life of Midge Maisel, a housewife whose whole life goes for a toss when her husband abruptly leaves her.

3) Sweetbitter (Available on Amazon Video)
Based on a novel by Stephanie Danler, Sweetbitter stars Ella Purnell and, much like Emily in Paris, has the same premise of a young girl shifting to a new city in search of herself. But unlike Emily, Tess (Purnell) has a job as a waitress in New York City and is soon enamored into the whirlwind world of drugs, drinking, fine dining, and love.
The show has more mature themes, but the overarching trope of finding oneself is always present. Tess soon finds her own set of friends and explores the city and culture of New York, just like Emily does in Paris.
4) Call My Agent! (Available on Netflix)
This French comedy-drama directly takes one into the heart of Paris. The series is set around four people at a talent agency who must keep the company alive after the founder suddenly dies.
Dealing with egotistical clients, juggling personal lives, and navigating sticky situations—make this show a fun watch. Just like Emily in Paris, it is about people at work and the unpredictable and often hilarious situations they find themselves in. The show has also won an International Emmy Award.

After a chance encounter, she devises a plan to pass off as a younger woman in order to enter the world of publishing.
The show presents hilarious situations as Liza tries to keep her two identities apart. Just like Emily, Liza also has to handle two swoon-worthy love interests, and the show doubles up as a romantic comedy within a workplace comedy.
6) The Mindy Project (Available on Amazon Video)
Created by Mindy Kaling, this series revolves around Dr. Mindy Lahiri’s (Mindy Kaling) love and career life in New York City and her humorous interactions with her quirky colleagues. Just like Emily in Paris, this show is a romantic comedy within a workplace comedy.
Mindy will also remind viewers of Emily, as she gives off the same confidence and sparkly fashion choices. The show has received much praise for its writing and comedy. And is one of the first shows to have a South Asian woman in the lead role, thus encouraging debates around representation and diversity.
7) Girls (Available on Amazon Video)
Created by Lena Dunham and also starring in it, this comedy-drama follows the lives of four women in New York City and was created by Lena with the intention to showcase a more realistic portrayal of women in their twenties.

But it is also about a group of friends navigating life in a big city while trying to juggle their careers and relationships. And it has the same chaotic and delusional energy as Emily. For those looking for a slightly mature take on girlhood while also retaining humor—this is a must-watch.
8) Dash & Lily (Available on Netflix)
This Christmas-themed series gives the same whimsical vibe as Emily in Paris. So, for those looking for a lighthearted, magical, romantic comedy, this is the show to try. It revolves around two teens in New York City—Dash, who hates Christmas, and Lily, who believes in love.
The story follows them as they send messages and dares to each other through a notebook at various locations of the city. As the opposites engage in this companionship, they start falling for each other as well. The show stars Austin Adams and Midori Francis and is only a season long, thus making it perfect for a short binge.
