Ashley Park To Co-Star in the Paramount Network Series EMILY IN PARIS

Ashley Park has been announced as the co-star, opposite Lily Collins, in Paramount Network's half-hour dramedy, Emily in Paris, according to Deadline. The series hails from Younger and Sex and the City creator Darren Star.

Emily In Paris centers on Emily (Collins), a driven twenty-something AMERICAN WOMAN from the Midwest, who moves to Paris for an unexpected job opportunity, tasked with bringing an American point of view to a venerable French marketing firm. Cultures clash as she adjusts to the challenges of life in a foreign city, while juggling her career, new friendships and love life.

Park will play Mindy Chen. Emily (Collins) makes a new friend in Mindy, a twenty-something au pair. Mindy is a fellow expat who has fallen in love with the city, a stark contrast to how Emily is adjusting to Parisian life herself.
