Some things in life just seem to get better with age—wine, cheese, and apparently,Emily in Paris. There’s something almost hypnotic about this Netflix series. Maybe it’s the vibrant shots of the city, the whirlwind romance, or Emily’s perfect Parisian outfits. If you’re one of those who devoured the fourth season quicker than you can say “bonjour”, we have some thrilling news for you: Emily is back for Season 5.
And no, it’s not just more of Emily’s adventures in the City of Lights—get ready for a little Italian flair as the series heads to Rome.
Emily’s relationships have always been at the heart of the show, and Season 4 didn’t disappoint. From Gabriel’s baby bombshell to the love triangle that might turn into a square, the drama was hotter than the summer sun over Paris.
But what exactly can we expect fromEmily in ParisSeason 5? Let’s dive in!
Emily in Paris: Lucien Laviscount is back to spice things up as series regular in season 5
As the dust settles in the final moments ofEmily in ParisSeason 4, we see Emily (Lily Collins) packing her bags and heading for Rome, leaving us all hanging in suspense.
In case you’re wondering, yes, the drama is about to get juicier in season 5. We learned fromDeadlinethat Lucien Laviscount, who first caught our eye as the dashing British expat Alfie, is stepping up in a major way in Season 5. He’s no longer a bit-player in Emily’s love life—he’s now a series regular. What does this mean?
Get ready for a lot more Alfie, as he’ll likely be juggling his feelings for Emily while also facing the reality of her former flame, Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), reentering the scene.
You’d think Emily would be over all the relationship drama after everything that’s happened in Season 4, but no, the tangled web continues. Alfie, who was briefly involved with Emily in Season 4, is now firmly in a relationship with someone else. But as we know, love triangles (and quadrangles) are never as simple as they appear.
With Gabriel attempting to win Emily back, and a new man, Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini), in the mix, things are about to get complicated.
What’s cooking? Emily’s new life in Rome
Okay, so here’s the big twist:Emily in ParisSeason 5 isn’t just about Emily traipsing around Paris in her fabulous outfits. It’s about a whole new setting—Rome! Her career is taking her to Italy, and with it, she may just discover a new side of herself. After the chaos of her love life in Paris, perhaps the change of scenery will offer her a fresh perspective.
As Lily Collins, who plays Emily, teased in a promotional video (viaELLE):
There’s no place like Rome.
The beautiful city seems to offer Emily the perfect escape from all her Parisian drama, and she’ll get to experience life in a way she never has before. And it sounds like Marcello, her new beau played by Eugenio Franceschini, might be the perfect partner for this new chapter in her life. As Collins explained (via Netflix’sTudum), Marcello brings a sense of calm and balance that Emily has been longing for.
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.
Could this romance be the one that lasts?

As the tension fromEmily in ParisSeason 4 lingers, the excitement for Season 5 is already bubbling over.Darren Star, the show’s creator, gave us a little sneak peek into what’s coming. He revealed that Emily and Marcello’s relationship will definitely be a major focus of the upcoming season. He shared with Tudum:
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.
In other words, it looks like Emily’s love life is about to get a whole lot more complex—and a whole lot more Italian.

But before we get too ahead of ourselves, let’s remember where we left off.
Season 4 ended with a bang. Camille and Gabriel’s wedding was a total disaster, leaving Emily emotionally wrecked. Now, she’s stuck in a whirlwind of conflicting feelings for two men. Gabriel is about to become a father with his ex, which has heightened the complications of their already tangled dynamic. Meanwhile, Alfie’s worst fears about Emily and Gabriel’s connection have come to fruition.
So, what’s Emily to do?
And while the romance department may be chaotic, the workplace drama is no less intense. Sylvie, who’s never shy about being blunt, is forced to reckon with a complicated dilemma from her past—one that could jeopardize her marriage. Meanwhile, the team at Agence Grateau is facing some serious shakeups, and it’s clear that no one’s job is safe. As if that weren’t enough, Mindy and her band are preparing for Eurovision, but when their finances hit a snag, they’ll have to get creative to make their dreams a reality.
And let’s not forget Gabriel’s continued rise as a Michelin-starred chef—his career will continue to play a pivotal role in the drama, and perhaps even lead to new opportunities for him and Emily.
Season 5 cast: Who’s returning for more drama?
Fans of the show will be thrilled to know that the core cast is coming back for Season 5. Lily Collins will reprise her role as the charming yet often clueless Emily, while Eugenio Franceschini will return as Marcello. The ever-dramatic Sylvie, played by Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, will continue to spice things up with her sharp tongue and unapologetic attitude.
And of course, we’ll be seeing more of Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), despite his frustration with how his character has been written in recent seasons. In October 2024, the actor toldIndieWirethat he feels his character has been“slowly turned into guacamole”,suggesting Gabriel’s storyline has lost its original spark.
Still, Bravo’s return (viaVariety) suggests that his relationship with Emily might not be over just yet.

Other familiar faces, includingAshley Park(Mindy),Camille Razat(Camille), and Lucien Laviscount (Alfie), will all be back for more of the Parisian (and Roman) fun. And as if that wasn’t exciting enough,there’s even talkof a potential cameo fromSex and the City’sKim Cattrall. In an interview withIMDb, Bravo revealed that he and a few of his co-stars have been “manifesting” for Cattrall to join the cast ofEmily in Paris.
What is the release date ofEmily in ParisSeason 5?
Here’s the bad news: It’s going to be a while before we get our hands on Season 5. Filming is set to begin in May 2025 (per Variety’s report), which means we might not see the season hit our screens until late 2025 or early 2026.Emily in Parishas always been known for its stunning locations, so you can bet the wait will be worth it when the show returns to take us on a new adventure.
With the winds of change blowing through Emily’s life, Season 5 ofEmily in Parisis shaping up to be anything but predictable.
Until we get more details, all we can do is sit tight, clutch our berets, and get ready for the next chapter of Emily’s fabulous life. If Season 5 is half as wild as her wardrobe, we’re in for one heck of a ride!
