The beloved Netflix romantic comedy series Emily in Paris has officially been renewed for a fifth season following the successful premiere of season 4 in August 2024.
This renewal announcement came right after the release of the second part of Emily in Paris Season 4 on the streaming platform last Thursday. Viewers watched as Emily’s spontaneous getaway in Rome unexpectedly extends when Sylvie (played by Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), the head of the newly launched Agence Grateau office in Italy, approaches Lily Collins’s character, who has taken on an Italian escapade.
Yet, her past in the City of Love is still present, particularly with Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), the newly acclaimed Michelin-starred chef, who consistently struggles with timing and unresolved issues.

Latest News on Emily In Paris Season 5
According to recent reports, Netflix has confirmed the renewal of Emily in Paris for a fifth season, although the show’s continuation was anticipated. This decisive move, made just days after the release of season 4, demonstrates the streaming giant’s steadfast belief in this popular romantic comedy led by Lily Collins.
In their announcement, Netflix shared an image of Collins enjoying espresso from an Emily in Paris cup on their official X (formerly Twitter) account, featuring a “5” at the bottom of the cup, with the caption, “There’s no place like Rome.”
Emily in Paris Season 5 Cast
While the complete storyline for Emily in Paris Season 5 remains under wraps, several main cast members are expected to reprise their roles, including Lily Collins as the titular character. The romantic triangle would be incomplete without Lucas Bravo returning as Gabriel, alongside Lucien Laviscount as Alfie. Additionally, Ashley Park is anticipated to return as Emily’s best friend, Mindy.
However, Camille Razat‘s character, Camille, may not return given her abrupt exit from season four, which left her storyline open-ended. Emily’s significant move to Rome raises questions about the overall cast’s return, yet the show would be lacking if it completely replaced the main ensemble. Eugenio Franceschini is likely to return as Marcello, given Emily’s relocation for season 5.
Expected cast for Emily in Paris Season 5 includes:
- Lily Collins as Emily Cooper
- Lucas Bravo as Gabriel
- Ashley Park as Mindy Chen
- Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie Grateau
- Camille Razat as Camille
- Samuel Arnold as Julien
- Bruno Gouery as Luc
- William Abadie as Antoine Lambert
- Lucien Laviscount as Alfie
Other possible returns include Laurent (Arnaud Binard), Sylvie’s husband, and Benoît (Kevin Dias), who may rekindle his relationship with Mindy. There’s also a chance that other guest stars from season 4, like Antonia Muratori (Anna Galiena), Giancarlo (Raoul Bova), and Giorgio Barbieri (Rupert Everett), could appear in season 5.
When is Emily in Paris Season 5 Premiering?
As of now, there is no official release date for Emily in Paris Season 5, given the recent renewal announcement. We will update this post once we have specific release details. Based on the schedule for Season 4, audiences should prepare for another two-part release as part of Netflix’s efforts to reduce subscriber attrition and boost viewership.
Despite some early-season disruptions caused by the pandemic and last year’s Hollywood strikes, Emily in Paris has largely maintained its annual release timeline. Season 5 is currently slated to premiere in early fall 2025, assuming everything proceeds as planned.
Plot of Emily In Paris Season 5
“We’re thrilled with the amazing feedback from this season of Emily in Paris and can’t wait to return for a fifth to continue Emily’s escapades in Rome and Paris!” said creator and executive producer Darren Star in a statement to Tudum, without revealing particular plot details.
However, Star shared that Emily will maintain a presence in Paris as she has adventures in Rome. “Incorporating Italy allows us to stay ahead of our audience and transport them to unexpected locations,” he continued.
“With Marcello offering a new adventure, our goal is for Emily to achieve a better work/life balance,” Collins elaborated in a Good Morning America interview, expressing eagerness to explore her character’s new romance. “We want to see her smiling freely. It’s the perfect moment with him,” she added.
Star further indicated, “There’s a genuine spark and connection between them that will continue to unfold in the next season.”
How did Emily in Paris Season 4 End?
After the conclusion of Emily in Paris Season 4, here are some major plot takeaways.
Emily’s New Adventure in a New City
Embracing her newfound spontaneity, Emily accepts Sylvie’s proposal to lead Agence Grateau’s Rome office. The final scenes of Season 4 depict her leasing a chic Italian apartment and enjoying charming terrace views.
Gabriel’s Stagnation vs. Emily’s Growth
Much like their carefree Vespa rides, Emily and Marcello glide into a budding romance despite prior misunderstandings (which is quite typical in Emily in Paris). Emily finds herself balancing work and play, hinting that her troubles are far from resolved. Meanwhile, Gabriel realizes that his connection to Emily isn’t over and sends Mindy on a quest to locate her in Rome.
Mindy’s Return as a “Chinese Popstar”
Mindy surprises everyone by appearing in Rome after her breakup. Inspired by the vibrant streets, she joins a busker in song. Much to her astonishment, her performance of “Beautiful Ruins” goes viral on TikTok and Instagram, leading to her invitation back as a judge on the “Chinese Popstar” reality competition, where she previously struggled as a contestant.
