Simone Biles Announces ‘Rising Part: 2’ Netflix Series With a Hilarious ‘Emily in Paris’ Parody
Simone Biles has had an eventful year with a successful Olympic run, renewed confidence, and a documentary series on her highs and lows. With her three gold and a silver medal in Paris still fresh in public memory, the announcement of an upcoming second part to the Netflix documentary on her life is particularly well timed.
The earlier part of the real-life account of the gymnast, which followed her through the various highs and lows of her life, had ended just before her grand return at the Paris Olympics.
It was a no-brainer that a new part might eventually show fans a detailed view of how Biles had grown since her Tokyo Olympics fiasco.
Now, the gymnast has confirmed that a second part of the series will be released in October, along with a promo shot in the French capital that left fans hollering.
Biles has often displayed her sense of humor while flaunting her acting prowess on camera. This time, she did so while parodying another Netflix hit – Emily in Paris.

Featuring various locations across the city, she passionately expressed how Paris had changed her life with dramatic flair. The dialogue references the show and how the main character presents herself. This promotional video was intended for her documentary series, and fans felt she perfectly captured the impression she aimed to make.
“watch your beret, emily…”
The second installation of Simone Biles: Rising will be released globally on 25 October. With several new events to cover, including her jaw-dropping wins in Paris, fans await the unseen side of how the GOAT got back.
While Biles’ gymnastics prowess continues to amaze, her off-the-mat personality and humor have also captured the public’s attention.
Biles crushes it in another hilarious video
As if the Emily in Paris parody wasn’t enough, Biles had already gone further to show off her sense of humor with a hilarious video. During the Olympics, she accidentally created a viral moment that became one of the most hilarious memes from the two-week-long event.
‘The Biles stare‘ originated during one of her moments on stage, when she suddenly turned towards the camera with a deadpan stare. After several memes and hilarious jokes surfaced with the clip, the GOAT embraced it and added some of her own jokes to it.
The video featured her recreating the signature stare in various locations, and captions suggested mildly annoying moments in her life — whether it was people correcting her moves while sitting on the couch or trolling women in sports in general.
