Netflix popular series Emily in Paris is preparing for an exciting fifth season with new locations, romantic twists, and deeper character development. With production set to begin in May 2025, fans are anticipating the new season to be released in early 2026.
Season 5 will involve Emily’s storyline as she transfers from Paris to Rome after deciding in Season 4 to take over Agence Grateau’s Rome office. This shift brings a fresh romance with Marcello, Eugenio Franceschini, along with retaining Paris connections. Creator Darren Star has made sure that Paris will remain a central part of the show, creating a cultural contrast between French and Italian culture as Emily continues to juggle her business life and personal life in both cities.
Lily Collins will be back as Emily, bringing back her charm and bright sense of style in this next chapter. Lucas Bravo will also be returning as Gabriel, despite being exasperated with where his character is headed for the past few seasons. Bravo has expressed that he would like to see Gabriel back to his former spark and hinted at the possibility of some changes coming his character’s way in Season 5.
Emily in Paris‘s next season will continue Emily’s complicated relationship with Marcello while processing lingering emotions for Gabriel. Emily’s love triangle with Gabriel and Camille will be pushed to the side in favor of Marcello. Gabriel’s Michelin restaurant will continue as a main hub, possibly becoming a backdrop for his personal renewal and renewed magnetism.
Paris and Rome will be where the filming is done, although other global destinations like Saint-Tropez will also be targeted. This expansion promises to deliver visually stunning scenery and the scope to integrate real cultural experiences into the narrative. Fashion will be a key aspect, with Emily’s wardrobe demonstrating her growing self-assurance and integrating French and Italian influences.
