Netflix’s global hit Emily in Paris is officially back with a brand-new season, and this time, ‘Emily’ is trading the streets of Paris for the beauty of Italy. We finally have a release date for the season, along with fresh details about the storyline, cast, and filming locations that had kept the fans on the edge of curiosity after they saw ‘Emily’ leaving France. Here are all the details about the new season that give a clearer picture of what’s next for ‘Emily’s love life and career.
Will ‘Emily’ stay in Italy with ‘Marcello’ or return to Paris with ‘Gabriel’?
Emily in Paris season 4 ended on a dramatic note as ‘Emily’, played by Lily Collins, faced heartbreak, tough career calls, and emotional breakdowns. While struggling with her breakup with ‘Gabriel’, played by Lucas Bravo, and the fallout of a failed romance with ‘Alfie’, she found an unexpected saviour-cum- admirer in ‘Marcello’. He is the heir of an Italian luxury cashmere family. In the final moments, we saw her settling into life in Italy with ‘Marcello’, hinting at the possibility of a new chapter.
However, just when we felt that ‘Emily’ got some stability, the story took another twist when ‘Gabriel’, heartbroken yet hopeful, followed her to Italy. The final episode of Season 4 had set the stage for a potential love triangle that will likely drive much of Season 5. As the new season picks up, Netflix revealed that we will see the story continue where ‘Emily’ is now leading Agence Grateau Rome, focusing on her new career responsibilities in Rome. But her romantic life will be complicated as a new secret threatens one of her closest relationships, and a failed work idea will spiral back into setbacks. Sharing more about the storyline, Netflix explained in the synopsis:
“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.”
What is the release date and cast list for Emily in Paris Season 5?
Season 5 of Emily in Paris will premiere worldwide on December 18, 2025, only on Netflix. The cast lineup is as glamorous as ever, with Lily Collins returning as ‘Emily’. She will feature alongside Ashley Park as ‘Mindy’, Lucas Bravo as ‘Gabriel’, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as ‘Sylvie’, Samuel Arnold as ‘Julien’, Bruno Gouery as ‘Luc’, and more. Some new faces that we will get to see in the fifth season include Eugenio Franceschini as ‘Marcello’, Thalia Besson, Minnie Driver, Bryan Greenberg, and Michèle Laroque.
Will Lucas Bravo continue to take his role as ‘Gabriel’ ahead?
One of the biggest surprises this season is the confirmed return of Lucas Bravo as Gabriel. For those unaware, after the end of Season 4, Lucas expressed disappointment with how his character evolved, and even said that ‘Gabriel’ was ‘slowly turned into guacamole’. It had left fans worried over his presence in the new season, but he is back, reigniting excitement among fans who are eager to see how his relationship with Emily will develop in the new season. Meanwhile, Camille Razat, who played Gabriel’s former love interest ‘Camille’, will not be returning.
