Emily in Paris fans are still reeling from Season 4’s wild ride, and with Season 5 officially greenlit, the excitement is off the charts. From Emily’s new Roman adventure to major cast changes, here’s the latest scoop on when the show might drop, who’s in (and who’s out), and what to expect from our favourite fashion-forward expat. Let’s dive in!
When Will Emily in Paris Season 5 Hit Netflix?
Season 4 wrapped filming in May 2024 and hit screens in August (Part 1) and September (Part 2). That’s about a three-month turnaround from wrap to release. If Season 5 follows a similar schedule, with filming likely ending around August or September 2025, we could see it as early as November or December 2025. A holiday-season drop would be perfect for cozying up with Emily’s latest drama. But if post-production gets tricky—say, with all those gorgeous Roman shots—early 2026 is also possible.
Who’s in the Cast for Season 5?
The Emily in Paris crew is back with some familiar faces. Here’s the lowdown:
- Lily Collins (Emily Cooper): Our girl Emily is front and center, juggling her marketing job and love life between Paris and Rome. Collins is also a producer, so expect her to shine.
- Lucas Bravo (Gabriel): The dreamy chef is back, even though Bravo’s been vocal about wanting Gabriel to ditch the mopey vibes from Season 4. Here’s hoping he brings back that flirty spark.
- Lucien Laviscount (Alfie): Emily’s ex is sticking around as a series regular. Could we see a love triangle reboot? Alfie’s got his work cut out for him.
- Eugenio Franceschini (Marcello): Emily’s Italian heartthrob from Season 4 is set for a bigger role. Their chemistry in Rome is already a fan favorite.
- Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie): The queen of Agence Grateau returns, serving looks and sharp one-liners while navigating her own drama.
- Ashley Park (Mindy): Emily’s BFF is back with her killer vocals and bold fashion. Will her band finally hit the big time?
- Samuel Arnold (Julien) and Bruno Gouery (Luc): The agency’s dynamic duo will keep the workplace shenanigans rolling.
- William Abadie (Antoine): The perfume tycoon is back to stir up trouble for Emily and Sylvie.
What’s Next for Emily and the Gang?
Season 5 picks up right after the Season 4 finale, with Emily settling into her new gig running Agence Grateau’s Rome office. Creator Darren Star has promised a mix of Parisian chic and Italian flair, so expect plenty of gelato-fueled drama and stunning cityscapes. Here’s what we’re hyped for:
Storylines to Watch
Emily’s Roman Holiday: Emily’s not moving to Rome full-time—phew, Paris fans—but her work with Marcello’s family business will keep her busy in Italy. Think cobblestone streets, Vespa rides, and maybe a few too many espressos. Star says the show will balance both cities, so we’ll still get those iconic Parisian cafe scenes.
Love Triangle Drama: Gabriel’s surprise visit to Rome at the end of Season 4 screams trouble. He’s fresh off his Michelin-star win but still hung up on Emily. Meanwhile, Marcello’s all-in on their budding romance, and Alfie’s lurking with unresolved feelings. Will Emily finally choose, or is another messy love square coming?
Sylvie’s Next Chapter: With her romance with Giancarlo heating up and a new royal friend in Princess Jane, Sylvie’s poised for some personal growth. Will she keep ruling the agency with an iron fist?
Mindy’s Big Break: After Season 4’s Eurovision hustle, Mindy’s music career is at a crossroads. Will she and Emily stay tight while chasing their dreams in different cities?
Gabriel’s Glow-Up: Fans (and Lucas Bravo) want Gabriel to ditch the brooding chef act. Maybe Season 5 gives him a fresh start, professionally and romantically.
