Monaco is set to become a cinematic hotspot this fall as two major series—Netflix’s ‘Emily in Paris’ and HBO’s ‘The White Lotus’—choose the Principality as their backdrop. The productions will film at iconic locations including the Grand Prix circuit and the Casino de Monte-Carlo, marking an unprecedented concentration of big-budget shoots in a short period.
‘Emily in Paris’ season 6, starring Lily Collins, already filmed a scene on the Grand Prix circuit on June 4, where the character met Formula 1 driver Sergio Perez. The production returns between August 28 and September 10, seeking extras aged 18-60 with a ‘fashion-forward, chic, and sophisticated’ look. Meanwhile, ‘The White Lotus’ season 4, directed by Mike White, will shoot in Monaco for two days at the Casino in late September, following earlier filming in Saint-Tropez and Cannes. The series is looking for extras ‘experienced in luxury hospitality’ to complement the cast featuring Vincent Cassel, Laura Dern, and Steve Coogan.
Local authorities and businesses are expected to benefit from the influx of crews and talent. The unusual cluster of productions signals Monaco’s growing appeal as a filming destination, offering glamorous backdrops and logistical support. Extras casting is already underway, with applications open for those interested in being part of the show.
