Thalia Besson returns to 'Emily in Paris' as filming begins on Season 5
Production is officially underway on Season 5 of Emily in Paris, and one familiar face is making a comeback. Thalia Besson, who stirred up trouble as Geneviève in the previous season, is set to reprise her role in the upcoming installment of the Netflix hit, according to Variety.
Besson, daughter of acclaimed French filmmaker Luc Besson, plays Geneviève - a sleek, cunning NYU graduate who shook things up at Agence Grateau last season. Introduced as Emily's mentee, Geneviève quickly revealed ulterior motives by pursuing her mentor's clients and even making a move on Emily's boyfriend, Gabriel.
Her return places her alongside returning cast members including Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie, Samuel Arnold as Julien, Bruno Gouery as Luc, William Abadie as Antoine, and Ashley Park as Mindy. Also back are Emily's love interests - Lucas Bravo's Gabriel, Lucien Laviscount's Alfie, and Eugenio Franceschini as Marcello, the Italian businessman introduced in Season 4.
Filming for the new season began last month in Rome, with the cast now continuing in Paris. The plot picks up just days after the Season 4 finale, which ended on a cliffhanger as Gabriel turned up unannounced at Emily's new apartment in Rome, determined to win her back.
Season 5 will follow Emily as she adjusts to life in the Italian capital, where she's tasked with launching Agence Grateau's new branch while exploring a fresh romance with Marcello. But with Geneviève back in the picture and known for stirring the pot the stage is set for even more drama, jealousy, and couture-fueled chaos.
