Bonnier’s Studio Press acquires official Emily in Paris novels written by Kalengula

Studio Press, the pop culture and trend-led imprint of Bonnier Books UK, has acquired the official "Emily in Paris" tie-in novels written by Catherine Kalengula, in a two-book deal.

Stephanie Milton, head of Studio Press, acquired English language rights for the UK, Australia, India and New Zealand from Sarah Daumerie at SD Foreign Rights. Emily in Paris will be publishing in spring 2023 with the sequel following in summer 2023.

Based on the first season of the Netflix series, the novelisation follows American Emily Cooper as she relocates to the world’s most romantic city, Paris. The popular series – originally created by Darren Star and launched in 2020 – was recently renewed for seasons three and four, with season three set to premiere on 21st December 2022.

Milton said: “We are delighted to be publishing the official novelisations of "Emily in Paris" seasons one and two. Told from Emily’s point of view, they are the perfect excuse to re-immerse yourself in Emily’s world as she navigates romantic entanglements, professional faux pas and new friendships. 

“The novels also contain colour inserts featuring on-set stills of incredible fashion moments and fan-favourite characters like Mindy and Gabriel – what more could an "Emily in Paris" fan ask for?”
