In September last year, immediately after the premiere of Emily in Paris season 4, Netflix announced that the series is renewed for another season.
On Wednesday, the streamer unveiled the first look of the upcoming season while also announcing that Emily will return to Italy, instead of Paris, on December 18.
Plot
The show is created by Darren Star, who is well-known for his other shows, including Sex in the City, Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place.
Emily in Paris follows the journey of Emily Cooper, a driven American marketing executive who relocates to Paris to bring a fresh US perspective to a French and marketing firm.
As she navigates her new life in Paris, Emily faces challenges in her career, romantic relationships, and friendships, all while adapting to the city’s unique culture.
The series stars Lily Collins, Lucas Bravo, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Ashley Park, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, and Camille Razat.
The fourth season added actors Thalia Besson and Eugenio Franceschini to the cast.
New actors joining season 5 of Emily in Paris include Bryan Greenberg (Suits LA) as Jake, an American living in Paris; Michèle Laroque (Brillantissime) as Yvette, an old friend of Sylvie’s (Emily’s boss); and Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting, Will & Grace) as Princess Jane, a friend of Sylvie’s who married into a royal family.
Not re-entering the fold, however, is Camille Razat.
“After an incredible journey, I’ve made the decision to step away from Emily in Paris,” the actor said in an Instagram post in April, adding that though her character Camille’s “storyline has naturally come to an end” they’d be “leaving the door open for her return, as she will always be a part of [the] Emily in Paris world.”
Move from Paris to Italy
Season 4 of Emily in Paris ended with Sylvie (Leroy-Beaulieu) promoting Emily with her own office of Agence Grateau in Rome, making her shift from Paris to Italy.
While she seems to be happy in her relationship with Marcello (Franceschini), Gabriel (Bravo) realises he must win Emily back before it is too late.
The plot details for the fifth season of Emily in Paris are currently under wraps, but Lily Collins has confirmed that her relationship with onscreen beau Marcello will be explored more in the season.
When is the release date for Emily in Paris season 5?
The next season of Emily in Paris will land on 18 December, just in time for Christmas.
Is there a trailer for Emily in Paris season 5?
Not yet, but one should arrive very soon.
