Emily in Paris has always been about beautiful people leading beautiful lives – and the next series, which is currently being filmed in Venice, is extending the aesthetic to include its extras.
The hit Netflix show is filming in Venice from now until next Monday and a local casting call has gone out to find 500 extras.
The catch? They all have to be ‘beautiful’ and take a dress size from 6 to 10 maximum.
The casting call reads: ‘We are looking for beautiful extras, with a lean physique and size from 38 to 42’.
Emily in Paris, which stars Lily Collins as marketing executive Emily Cooper, sees the heroine move to Rome in series five.
She is to take a romantic trip to Venice with handsome Marcello Muratori, played by Eugenio Franceschini.
Filming locations this week will include the Hotel San Daniele, the Santi Giovanni and Paolo basilica and the Grand Canal.
Lily Collins Instagrammed pictures of herself in a tomato-print sundress on one of Venice’s famous water taxis over the weekend.

‘A very Venetian getaway,’ Collins, 36, wrote via on Saturday, August 16, sharing photos from the cast’s shoot on a water taxi in Venice. ‘When work becomes play.’
Emily was left with a decision at the end of series four, as she was offered the position of the lead of the Italian Agence Grateau office.
Despite falling in love with Paris and the agency, Emily admitted she was tempted by a new life – with a new man – in Rome.
Fans will remember Emily and Gabriel’s (Lucas Bravo) romance fell apart after they finally tried to make a go of their relationship after he broke off his relationship with Camille.
Following a fake pregnancy scandal, Camille revealed she wasn’t actually expecting and Emily and Gabriel tried to work out a romantic future.
However, it wasn’t meant to be for the star-crossed lovers who were unable to work out their differences and she was pushed into the arms of Marcello, after they met on the slopes of Megève, when she was abandoned at the top of a slope by Gabriel.
They crossed paths again at a polo match in Paris and they enjoyed a night out together in the city, which lasted until the following morning when he asked her to come and visit him in Rome.
Emily followed her heart and travelled to meet Marcello, where she was also tasked with acquiring his family’s business by her boss Sylvie.

The series is expected to air towards the end of this year, but one of the main characters has revealed they won’t be returning.
Camille Razat, 31, who plays Camille in the romantic comedy-drama – took to Instagram to reveal the shocking news with an emotional goodbye post after fans fumed at bosses for ‘destroying the character’.
Camille has played Emily’s pal and love rival in the show since the programme hit the streaming service back in 2020.
Now, after five years on our screens as Camille, the actress is ready to move on.
Luca Zaia, the president of the Veneto region, has hailed the arrival of the show in the city, which recently hosted the high-profile wedding of Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos to Lauren Sanchez.
He said: ‘It is extraordinary news, which confirms how our territory is increasingly attractive for major global audiovisual productions, thanks to its unique heritage and teamwork between institutions and operators in the sector.’
He added that it gave him great pride: ‘to see Venetian talents enhance their land and bring the name of Venice and Veneto to millions of homes around the world.’
