Emily in Paris Season 5 First Look From Netflix
Netflix has revealed the first photos from the upcoming highly anticipated fifth season of Emily in Paris, as well as a new location reveal this season. Emily will continue her Italian holiday, living la dolce vita in Venice. All 10 episodes will premiere on December 18, 2025, on Netflix.
Emily in Paris Season 4 ranked No. 1 on the Netflix Global Top 10 when it premiered in August 2024. It had 19.9 million views in its first four days, reaching the Top 10 in 93 countries.
In the upcoming fifth season, Emily is now the head of Agence Grateau Rome and faces professional and romantic challenges as she adapts to life in a new city. But just as everything falls into place, a work idea backfires, and the fallout cascades into heartbreak and career setbacks.
Seeking stability, Emily leans into her French lifestyle until a big secret threatens one of her closest relationships. Tackling conflict with honesty, Emily emerges with deeper connections, renewed clarity, and a readiness to embrace new possibilities.
The Emily in Paris Season 5 cast includes producer Lily Collins (Emily Cooper), Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie Grateau), Ashley Park (Mindy Chen), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc), and William Abadie (Antoine Lambert).
Lucien Laviscount (Alfie), Eugenio Franceschini (Marcello), Thalia Besson (Genevieve), Paul Forman (Nico), Arnaud Binard (Laurent G), Minnie Driver (Princess Jane), Bryan Greenberg (Jake), and Michèle Laroque (Yvette) round out the cast.
Creator, executive producer, and writer Darren Star tells the Netflix blog Tudum that “this season is a Tale of Two Cities. Rome and Paris. Straddling both, Emily takes love and life to the next level. From Parisian rooftops to Roman ruins, we can’t wait to share where Emily’s next chapter takes us.”
Star adds that the locale twist doesn’t mean the name of the show is changing. “Emily’s going to have a presence in Rome. It doesn’t mean she’s not going to be in Paris.” Sending Emily to Italy to open up a new office was born out of Star’s desire to “stay ahead of the audience and take them to unexpected places,” and prove “the show has the ability to have a bigger footprint.”
Collins said she’s looking forward to seeing what happens between her character and new beau Marcello (Franceschini). “Marcello is a whole other adventure that we want for Emily because we ultimately want Emily to be able to have a better work/life balance.
“We want to have Emily be able to smile without condition. We want to see her beyond her vacay mode. And he comes at that perfect time.”
Star confirms that Emily’s relationship with Marcello will be explored. “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.”
Emily’s neighbor and on-and-off-again boyfriend, Gabriel (Bravo), had an epiphany in the final moments of Season 4 that he wants to be with Emily after all. “Unfortunately,” added Collins, “Gabriel has to deal with the repercussions of his choice” to end things with her.
