Bonjour, mes amis! Grab your berets and your best oh là là attitude because our favorite American-in-France (and now Italy!) is back for more fashion faux pas, romantic chaos, and questionable career moves! Here’s the latest scoop on Emily in Paris Season 5, served with a side of croissant-induced humor and a dash of dramatic flair. 🥐💃
🎬 Lights, Camera,…Oof!
Production for Season 5 kicked off earlier this summer with the main cast—Lily Collins, Ashley Park, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Lucas Bravo, and others—returning to bring us more of Emily’s gloriously chaotic life. But hold your espresso! 🚫☕ Filming hit a tragic pause in late August when Assistant Director Diego Borella sadly passed away after a sudden heart attack while preparing to shoot a scene at Venice’s Hotel Danieli. Our thoughts are with his family and the crew during this time 4.
📅 Release Date: Mark Your Calendars (But Not With a Sharpie…Yet)
Netflix has officially announced that Season 5 will premiere on December 18, 2025 135. That’s right, just in time for you to binge-watch instead of dealing with your family during the holidays! 🎄🍷 But remember, with the recent production delay, this date might be as stable as Emily’s relationship with Gabriel. 💔
🌍 Location, Location, Location…and More Location!
Season 5 is giving us a triple threat of European glamour! 🗼🍝🛶 Emily will be juggling her time between Paris, Rome, and now Venice! That’s right, she’s basically becoming a one-woman European tour guide. Creator Darren Star calls it a “tale of two cities” (Rome and Paris), but with Venice thrown in, it’s more like a tale of “how many cities can Emily conquer before her Instagram feed explodes?” 158.
Despite the Italian adventure, the show’s title isn’t changing. Because, let’s be real, “Emily in Paris, But Also Sometimes in Rome, and Oh Look Now Venice” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it 14.
👯 Cast Changes: Who’s In, Who’s Out, and Who’s Making Drama
The gang’s mostly back! Returning cast includes:
-
Lily Collins as Emily Cooper (obviously).
-
Ashley Park as Mindy (because what’s Emily without her BFF?).
-
Lucas Bravo as Gabriel (the dreamy chef who still can’t make up his mind).
-
Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie (the boss we all wish we had).
-
Plus all the other favorites like Julien, Luc, Antoine, Alfie, and Marcello (yum) 148.
But wait! There’s a twist! Camille Razat (Camille) won’t be returning. Her character’s storyline wrapped up in Season 4, and she’s moved on to other projects. So, no more love triangle with Gabriel…unless Emily finds a new rival in the pasta aisle! 🍝 4810.
New faces joining the chaos:
-
Bryan Greenberg as Jake, an American living in Paris (because Emily needs more expat friends?).
-
Michèle Laroque as Yvette, Sylvie’s old friend.
-
Minnie Driver as Princess Jane, another of Sylvie’s fancy friends 158.
📜 Plot Teasers: Because Emily’s Life Is Never Simple
Here’s what we know about the plot:
-
Emily is now the head of Agence Grateau’s Rome office (promotion?! 😲).
-
She’ll face both professional and romantic challenges (shocker).
-
A work idea will backfire spectacularly (as usual), leading to heartbreak and career setbacks (classic Emily).
-
She’ll lean into her French lifestyle until a big secret threatens one of her closest relationships (dun dun dun!).
-
And of course, she’ll emerge with “deeper connections, renewed clarity, and a readiness to embrace new possibilities” (aka more chaos) 367.
On the romance front: Gabriel finally realized he wants to be with Emily (after, you know, ditching her on a mountain for Camille). But Emily’s new beau, Marcello, is still in the picture. Will she choose the French chef or the Italian hunk? Will she open a bakery instead? Stay tuned! 112.
💡 Behind-the-Scenes Drama (Because of Course There Is)
Lucas Bravo (Gabriel) recently admitted he’d been frustrated with his character’s direction, saying Gabriel had become “melancholic, sad, depressed, and lost” and that it “was not fun anymore.” He even questioned if he wanted to return for Season 5! But don’t panic—he’s back, and he’s promised that this season is “the best one so far” 12. Phew! 😅
🌟 In Summary (Because Emily Would Use Too Many Emojis)
