Season 5 of Emily in Paris is shaping up to be an exciting chapter for the beloved show, with plenty of romantic twists and new adventures on the horizon! Production will kick off this May in Rome, with Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) navigating her professional and personal life in the stunning Italian city before moving back to Paris later in the summer.
This season will see Emily opening an Agence Grateau office in Rome as part of her career progression, but her love life is far from straightforward. While she embarks on a romance with a new Italian beau, Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini), the return of her past loves—sexy French chef Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and dashing Brit Alfie (Lucien Laviscount)—is sure to stir up some drama and potentially complicate her new relationship.
The French cast will return for the Paris portions of the season, with Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu reprising her role as Emily’s cool and nonchalant boss, Sylvie Grateau. Samuel Arnold and Bruno Gouery will also be back as Julien and Luc. Ashley Park will return as Emily’s bestie Mindy Chen, who herself is caught in a love triangle, adding more drama to the season.
However, Camille Razat (who plays Camille), a significant character in Emily’s previous romantic entanglements, won’t be returning. This has left fans wondering who will take on the role of the season’s villain, especially since Geneviève (played by Thalia Besson), the antagonist from Season 4, hasn’t been confirmed to return yet. Given her ties to Luc Besson, her potential return could still be on the cards, keeping the suspense alive.
After a long wait, fans saw Emily and Gabriel finally begin a legitimate relationship, but complications quickly arose, especially when Camille faked a pregnancy with Gabriel. How will this messy love triangle unfold in Season 5? It’s clear that love, work, and personal conflicts will be at the heart of the new season, promising plenty of drama, passion, and the stunning European backdrops fans have come to love.
