Emily in Paris is returning for a fifth go-around because Season 5 is confirmed!
Ever since Emily in Paris premiered in 2020, it has steadily returned each year with new drama and love triangles for fans to enjoy. While there are plenty of people who love to hate the series (for various reasons, including criticism of the French stereotypes), the show itself is always a huge hit and of course, the story is continuing.
But, what do we know about Emily's next season in Paris? Here is what's been said so far.
What Is The Emily In Paris Season 5 Premiere Date?
As of updating this in March 2025, there is no set premiere date. We do not know if it’ll come out as part of the 2025 TV premiere schedule just yet.
Netflix Tudum confirmed the return of Emily in Paris in September 2024, but since then we haven’t gotten an update on when exactly the next season is arriving on the platform.
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 Netflix shows that you can pretty much expect not to wait super long for. While we've been waiting years for Stranger Things Season 5 and the next season of The Witcher, the Lily Collins-led series has been consistent with its releases, so hopefully that means 2025 will come with a new one.
The Emily In Paris Season 5 Cast
There’s plenty of cast members from the Emily in Paris cast that are most likely going to return; here is who we can probably expect to see once more:
- Lily Collins as Emily Cooper
- Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie
- Ashley Park as Mindy Chen
- Lucas Bravo as Gabriel
- Samuel Arnold as Julien
- Camille Razat as Camille
- William Abadie as Antoine Lambert
- Lucien Laviscount as Alfie
- Arnaud Binard as Laurent G.
- Kevin Dias as Benoît
- Thalia Besson as Geneviève
- Eugenio Franceschini as Marcello
For a time, it felt like Lucas Bravo would not return, because he has 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 Season 5 is Lucien Laviscount’s Alfie, as reported by Deadline, where he will take on a series regular role.
What Is Emily In Paris Season 5 Going To Be About?
With any Emily in Paris season, there are so many storylines that interact 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. In the interview with Tudum, Darren Star said that Season 5 is certainly going to cover Emily's time in Rome as well as Paris:
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.
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.
After the drama that was Gabriel and Emily in Season 4, even if Emily is drawn back to Gabriel so often, I really want these two to figure things out because I love Marcello so much.
Camille May Not Be A Part Of The Triangle Anymore, But Her Story "Will Continue"
There are plenty of side characters who have stolen the show, both in good and bad ways. We talk about how Sylvie is really the main character of Emily in Paris and is amazing, or how hilarious Luc is, but another we have a lot of story on is Camille—and how, in the second half of the season, she decides to move away from Gabriel and have a life of her own and adopt a child.
This feels like a seemingly happy ending for her, but Star said in an interview with The Wrap in September 2024 that while Camille won't be involved in the love triangles right now – like Alfie – her story "will continue:"
I think she's always going to be part of the series — she's part of their world and I would never rule out the fact that we're going to see her again. Her story is going to continue.
Filming Is Expected To Begin In May 2025
According to that Variety article that confirmed Lucas Bravo would return for Season 5, it was also reported that filming for the show would begin in May 2025. With that kind of timeline, we could end up seeing episodes by the end of the year – which wouldn’t be that much of a shocker considering Netflix has released Emily in Paris around Christmas before.
Either way, it’s still a nice update, and one I am totally ready for.
I can almost feel the impatience taking over my body. I need to see what happens next in Season 5 – and I can't wait to see what adventures Emily gets up to in Italy. Let’s all go get some gelato and zoom away on a Vespa together before we head back to Paris.
