The much-anticipated fifth season of Netflix’s Emily in Paris is all set to premiere on December 18, 2025, and it’s shaping up to be the most exciting one yet. The story will be expanding beyond Paris to the beautiful cities of Rome and Venice, and ‘Emily’ is about to face new personal and professional challenges that promise plenty of drama, fashion, and fun for the viewers. As the show moves to new cities, we’ll also be introduced to new characters. Here’s a look at the fresh faces joining ‘Emily’s’ journey.
Emily in Paris Season 5: New cast members join the series
A fresh wave of talent is joining the hit series, Emily in Paris this season. Netflix has confirmed that Bryan Greenberg, Michele Laroque, and Academy Award-nominated actor, Minnie Driver are among the new additions that we will see in season 5 of Emily in Paris. The new characters will be bringing fresh new stories to the narrative, while some of these new faces have connections to already existing characters, which guarantees fun encounters. Many are fresh new faces with fresh new storylines.
Minnie Driver’s ‘Princess Jane’ and the expansion of ‘Sylvie’s’ story
Minnie Driver’s character, ‘Princess Jane’, will be bringing a touch of royalty to the storyline. She will be a close friend of ‘Sylvie’, who is married to a member of a royal family. Her introduction might help dive deeper into ‘Sylvie’s’ mysterious and glamorous past. ‘Jane’ would not be the only friend of ‘Sylvie’ that we will be seeing this season. ‘Yvette’, played by Michele Laroque, is also entering the picture as one of ‘Sylvie’s’ close confidants. Viewers will finally learn more about ‘Sylvie’s’ background and personal life, adding more depth to the beloved character’s arc.
Bryan Greenberg as ‘Jake’ may add a new dynamic for ‘Emily’
‘Jake’, portrayed by Bryan Greenberg, is set to shake up ‘Emily’s’ already complex social circle and who knows maybe, her love life too. As an American living in Paris, ‘Jake’ will bring a new perspective and energy to the show. How he fits into ‘Emily’s’ life personally or professionally remains to be seen, but his presence will no doubt stir things up in classic Emily in Paris fashion.
Camille’s departure and the return of other fan favourites
While Camille Razat will not be returning to Emily in Paris after her Season 4 exit, fan favourites like Lily Collins, Lucas Bravo, Ashley Park, and Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu will be back and reprising their beloved roles. Also returning are Samuel Arnold, Lucien Laviscount, Bruno Gouery, and more. The show will continue to blend its familiar charm with new faces, making Season 5 a perfect mix of comfort and change.
‘Emily’ moves to Rome and Venice
The visual appeal of the show reaches new heights with the storyline shifting to Rome, where ‘Emily’ is now heading Agence Grateau’s new office. Netflix released first-look images of ‘Emily’ boating through Venetian canals and exploring Roman landmarks. Her signature fashion remains intact, and now she is supporting a sleek bob haircut symbolising a new chapter in her life and this one is not as traumatic as her bangs one.

According to the creator, Darren Star, Season 5 is ‘a tale of two cities: Rome and Paris.’ Emily is navigating new terrain, both geographically and emotionally. Her career is reaching new heights, while her love life continues to be filled with twists and turns. Meanwhile, ‘Gabriel’ had finally admitted his feelings, but is it too late? Only time will tell.
