Lily Collins returns as Emily Cooper in the highly anticipated fifth season of Emily in Paris.
Netflix has officially confirmed that production will kick off in May 2025.
The fan-favorite rom-com series, created by Darren Star (best known for Sex and the City), is set for a new chapter that will take Emily beyond the streets of Paris and into the heart of Italy.
Here’s everything we know so far about Emily in Paris Season 5.
Emily Takes Rome: A New City, A New Love, and A New Job
Season 4 ended with a dramatic twist as Emily packed her stylish wardrobe and left Paris.
She is now heading to Rome to lead Agence Grateau’s new office and continue her budding romance with Italian fashion heir Marcello.
This major shift in setting is set to bring new storylines, challenges, and—of course—fashion.
Rome will be the first filming location starting in May, followed by shoots in Paris later this summer.
The show is scheduled to premiere before the end of 2025.
One Main Character Bids Adieu: Camille Exits the Series
Camille Razat, who played Camille for four seasons, will not return in Season 5.
Her absence was confirmed after Netflix released a list of returning cast members—and she wasn’t on it.
Camille’s storyline concluded with her planning to leave Paris and adopt a baby, closing her chapter with Emily and Gabriel.
This departure marks a significant shift in the series’ dynamic and opens the door for new characters and conflicts.
Fan Favorites Return, Including a Surprising Comeback
Returning cast members include Lily Collins (Emily), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Ashley Park (Mindy), Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie), Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc), William Abadie (Antoine), Lucien Laviscount (Alfie), Thalia Besson (Geneviève), and Eugenio Franceschini (Marcello).
Lucas Bravo’s return as Gabriel is especially noteworthy.
In a 2024 interview with IndieWire, the actor expressed doubts about continuing with the series due to creative frustrations.
He shared that his character’s melancholic arc had become draining and said he hoped to see Gabriel return to his “fun, cheeky, playful” self.
Fans can now breathe a sigh of relief knowing Gabriel will be back in the kitchen—and potentially in Emily’s life.
Love Triangle No More? Emily’s Romantic Reset in Rome
Emily’s love life remains a central storyline.
Season 4 saw her navigate a rollercoaster of emotions between Gabriel, Camille, and Alfie.
By the finale, Camille was pregnant with Gabriel’s child, Alfie had moved on, and Emily found herself single again.
However, things took a romantic turn when she met Marcello in Italy.
Despite a rocky start—Marcello accused Emily of dating him for professional gain—the two reconciled.
Now, with Emily heading up the Rome office, their romance is set to blossom further.
Fashion, Fun, and Fresh Drama Await
With Rome as a new backdrop, expect fresh fashion inspiration and iconic moments that Emily in Paris is known for.
The new city promises a blend of Roman elegance and French flair, giving fans more visual delight and stylish drama.
As always, the show will balance comedy, romance, and workplace antics with glamorous storytelling.
When Will Season 5 of Emily in Paris Be Released?
Production kicks off in May 2025 in Rome and continues in Paris through the summer.
Netflix aims to release Season 5 before the year ends—just in time for cozy holiday binge-watching.
Conclusion
Emily in Paris Season 5 is gearing up to be the most ambitious season yet.
With a new setting, evolving relationships, and the same beloved charm, Emily’s Roman adventure is bound to deliver drama, romance, and unforgettable fashion.
