Emily in…Roma? Nah, it’s Emily in Paris and she’s coming back for a fifth round because Season 5 is just around the corner! While Emily in Paris has faced its fair share of criticism for the French stereotypes or for its melodramatic plotlines, the show is still incredibly popular and has come back time and time again for new seasons. Now, Season 5 is on the way next month!
So, what do we know so far about Emily’s next adventures? Here is what’s been said.
What Is The Emily In Paris Season 5 Premiere Date?
Emily in Paris Season 5 will be a part of the 2025 TV schedule. The season is set to drop on December 18, 2025, and, of course, you'll be able to watch with your Netflix subscription.
Emily in Paris is one of the best shows to binge-watch on Netflix because it's so easy to follow, but what's even better is that it's one of the few shows from the streamer that you can pretty much expect not to wait super long for. It's only been a little more than a year since Season 4 premiered on the streamer, which makes it a lot more consistent than some other streaming shows.
The Emily In Paris Season 5 Cast
Netflix Tudum officially confirmed several cast members who will be back for Season 5. Here is who we will see from the Emily in Paris cast:
- Lily Collins as Emily Cooper
- Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie
- Ashley Park as Mindy Chen
- Lucas Bravo as Gabriel
- Samuel Arnold as Julien
- William Abadie as Antoine Lambert
- Lucien Laviscount as Alfie
- Eugenio Franceschini as Marcello
For a time, it felt like Lucas Bravo would not return because he had expressed his distaste with the direction of his character. However, Variety confirmed that the actor would be coming back for Season 5.
Also confirmed to have a bigger role in the fifth season is Lucien Laviscount’s Alfie, as reported by Deadline, where he will take on a series regular role.
But, you might be wondering – where is Camille Razat? Well, it’s been confirmed that she will not be returning to the show. She revealed the news in an Instagram post in April 2025, saying that it felt right for her character’s story to end and for her to explore other opportunities:
Several cast members commented on her post to wish her well, so there are no bridges burned here. We’ll miss you, Camille!
On the bright side, we also know there will be a new cast member. According to Tudum, Minnie Driver has joined the cast, and she will play Princess Jane, a friend of Sylvie’s who’s married into the royal family – because of course, we need royalty in this show, too.
What Is Emily In Paris Season 5 Going To Be About?
With any Emily in Paris season, there are so many storylines that intersect with each other that it's almost hard to keep up. Based on information from interviews, though, here is what we can expect to see happen in Emily in Paris Season 5:
Season 5 Will Continue Emily's Adventures In Rome, But She's Not Leaving Paris
For those who still need to catch up with Season 4, Emily actually ends up taking a gig in Rome thanks to her boss, Sylvie, who wants to open up an office for their marketing firm in Italy.
However, Darren Star said in an interview with Deadline in September 2024 that just because Emily is in Rome now doesn't mean she is staying there, and she is still very much in the City of Love:
We're thrilled with the incredible response to this season of Emily in Paris and excited to return for a fifth to continue Emily's adventures in Rome and Paris!
However, Starr also said in an interview with Deadline in September 2024 that just because Emily is in Rome now doesn't mean she is staying there, and she is still very much in the City of Love:
She didn't change her Instagram handle to Emily in Rome. She is working in Rome sometimes. Sylvie's company has an office in Rome. Emily's getting that on its feet. I don't necessarily think that it means a permanent — in my mind, it's definitely not a permanent — move to Rome. We're not leaving Paris.
That does make me curious. Bravo spoke to Parade about the upcoming stories for Season 5, and he said that it might be the “best season” yet:
I think it’s the best season so far. I had lunch with Darren a few days back, and he told me a bit without telling me too much. I think fans are going to lose it. It’s the craziest one so far.
People just dropped a short video highlighting the season in Rome, and it looks like they are definitely going all in on Emily's new adventure. The video cites Italian fashion, old Italian movies. One thing is for sure, it will be the same Emily we all love. Blunt commented:
I think what I love the most about Emily is that she always follows her heart — whether that's from Chicago, to Paris and now Rome.
There may be a new location, but that doesn't mean everything will be perfect for Emily, though. According to Netflix:
Just as everything falls into place, a work idea backfires, and the fallout cascades into heartbreak and career setbacks.
Oh boy, that sounds like things could get messy in Rome! We're going to love it though.
Marcello Will Also Be A Big Part Of Season 5
For those who don't know, Emily also happened to find a new man in the second half of Season 4 – a cute Italian named Marcello whose family actually runs a luxury clothing line and is the sweetest. In that Tudum article, Star also said that Marcello and Emily's relationship will be explored in Season 5:
I feel like they have a real spark and a real connection and a real romantic connection. A lot of that's going to continue to play out next season.
Collins said to Tudum on the Season 4 ending that Marcello is supposed to be a “whole other adventure” for the character, and that Season 5 is going to explore that more:
Marcello is a whole other adventure that we want for Emily because we ultimately want Emily to be able to have a better work/life balance. We want to have Emily be able to smile without condition. We want to see her beyond her vacay mode. And he comes at that perfect time.
After the drama that was Gabriel and Emily in Season 4, Emily deserves this because Marcello seems so great. There will undoubtedly be some ups and downs, but the backdrop of Rome hopefully makes the gelato go down easily!
