“Emily in Paris” has been renewed at Netflix for a second season, two months after its initial launch. “Emily” broke into Nielsen’s top 10 most-watched streaming shows the week of its premiere. The show follows Emily (Lily Collins), a 20 something marketer from Chicago, who lands a job in Paris once her company buys a French luxury company. P.S. She doesn’t speak French.

“The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse,” a new Disney+ series, premieres on Mickey Mouse’s birthday, Nov. 18. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto star in various seven-minute shorts.
