The stylish world of Emily in Paris is gearing up for a new chapter as Netflix has officially confirmed the start of production on Season 5. With filming set to begin in Rome this May, fans are excited to see Emily Cooper, played by Lily Collins, upending her life and career in a new city, while embracing a budding romance with a charming Italian heir. However, not everything is smooth sailing, as one longtime cast member will not be returning.
A Roman Holiday for Emily
This season, Emily in Paris takes its fashionable flair from the streets of Paris to the elegant beauty of Rome. The story picks up right where Season 4 left off – there are no time jumps, just a continuation of Emily’s journey. Now relocated to Italy to lead the new Agence Gretto branch, Emily begins a new chapter both personally and professionally. Her new beginning is made even more interesting by the addition of Marcello, portrayed by Italian actor Eugenio Franceschini. He’s no ordinary boyfriend — Marcello is the heir to a luxurious cashmere empire, making him a central figure in Emily’s new Italian adventure.
Familiar faces return — with one notable absence
While most of the main cast, including Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Ashley Park (Mindy Chen), Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie), Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc), William Abadie (Antoine Lambert) and Lucien Laviscount (Alfie), have returned for Season 5, one fan-favorite will be missing. Camille Razat, who played Camille — Gabriel’s former partner — will not appear in upcoming episodes.
This is a significant change, as Camille was deeply woven into the emotional fabric of the show. Her absence could open the door for new drama, particularly involving Genevieve, a character introduced last season who is vying for Gabriel’s attention. While it’s unclear how big a role Genevieve will play, her connection as the daughter of a famous French director potentially hints at a bigger storyline.
Emily’s love life gets even more complicated
Emily in Paris season 5 doesn’t shy away from the series’ signature love entanglements. The romance with Marcello takes a new turn, but old flames still remain. Although Alfie seems to have moved on, Gabriel is still around for Emily. As she adjusts to life in Italy, viewers can expect a complex emotional journey for Emily – balancing career moves with romantic dilemmas, all set against a stunning European backdrop.
Adding to the mystery, Lucas Bravo has expressed disappointment over the evolution of his character, Gabriel. He shared in an interview that Gabriel no longer seems to be a reflection of himself, describing his arc as becoming “guacamole.” Bravo’s candid comments reflect the evolving nature of the characters as the series progresses.
High Fashion, High Drama
One thing fans can always count on with Emily in Paris is a strong dose of high fashion. Season 5 promises runway-worthy outfits, glamorous settings, and stylish storytelling. Creator, Darren Star, continues to blend fashion, culture, and personal drama into an engaging story. With Rome serving as a refreshing backdrop for the start of the season, viewers can expect even more Instagram-worthy moments as Emily brings her Parisian charm to Italy.
When will Emily in Paris season 5 release?
While Netflix hasn’t announced an official release date, Emily in Paris season 5 is expected to premiere later this year, possibly in the last quarter. With production starting in May and the show returning to Paris for the remainder of filming, it’s safe to say the new season will give fans everything they love – romance, drama and style – in just a few months.
As Emily in Paris continues to develop, season 5 is shaping up to be a refreshing change in scenery and storylines. With a beloved character gone, a new boyfriend in the mix and the always glamorous world of luxury brands, fans will experience another thrilling ride on the cobbled roads of Europe.
Stay tuned, because Emily Cooper’s Italian journey is just getting started.
