'Emily in Paris' Season 5 takes a trip to Venice and gets a release date. See the 1st photos
The fifth season of the Lily Collins-led show will debut on Netflix later this year. Emily in… Italy, still? On Wednesday, Netflix unveiled the premiere date of Emily in Paris Season 5, along with a series of first-look photos. The upcoming season will continue to follow the titular American marketing executive, played by Lily Collins, as she embraces a change of scene: life in Venice, Italy. 'This season is a tale of two cities. Rome and Paris,' creator Darren Star told Netflix's Tudum. 'Straddling both, Emily takes love and life to the next level.' Emily is now seemingly living the Italian dream: She's landed the career opportunity of a lifetime and is finally in an uncomplicated relationship with a charming Italian guy. The official Season 5 description, however, hints at trouble ahead: 'Now the head of Agence Grateau Rome, Emily faces professional and romantic challenges as she adapts to life in a new city. But 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.' Below, we're breaking down everything there is to know about Season 5 of Emily in Paris. When does Season 5 come out? All 10 episodes of Emily in Paris will be available to stream on Netflix on Dec. 18, 2025. Who will be part of the Season 5 cast? Among the confirmed and returning cast members are: Lily Collins (Emily Cooper), Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie Grateau), Ashley Park (Mindy Chen), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc), William Abadie (Antoine Lambert), Lucien Laviscount (Alfie), Eugenio Franceschini (Marcello), Thalia Besson (Genevieve), Paul Forman (Nico) and Arnaud Binard (Laurent G). Deadline announced two new additions to the Season 5 roster in July: Bryan Greenberg (Suits LA, Junction) will play Jake, an American expat living in Paris, and Michèle Laroque (Brilliantissime) will play Yvette, one of Sylvie's oldest friends. In May, Deadline also confirmed that Oscar-nominated actress Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting, Will & Grace) joined the cast. Driver will portray Princess Jane, a friend of Sylvie's who marries into royalty. Camille Razat, however, is one cast member who will not be returning for Season 5. Razat, who's starred as Gabriel's on-again, off-again girlfriend since the first season, confirmed the news in an Instagram post from April 2025. 'After an incredible journey, I've made the decision to step away from Emily in Paris,' she wrote. 'This character has meant a lot to me, and I feel that her storyline has naturally come to an end. It felt like the right moment to explore new horizons.' Where did we leave off, anyway? Where do we begin?! When Gabriel finds out that Camille is pregnant — which she lies about, by the way — he begins to prioritize her and their unborn baby over Emily, which strains their relationship. At one point, Gabriel leaves Emily stranded at the top of a mountain to attend to Camille, prompting Emily's realization that she'll never be the priority in their relationship. Emily breaks up with Gabriel as a result. Eager to get away, Emily agrees to oversee the opening of a new Agence Grateau office in Rome. There she sparks a romance with Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini), an heir to a prominent Italian cashmere company. Season 4 ends with Emily back in Rome in a more permanent capacity, now as the lead of the new Agence Grateau location. Her burgeoning relationship with Marcello also influences her decision to take the job. Gabriel, meanwhile, learns of Camille's "nonpregnancy." While the series resumes in Italy, Star is assuring fans that Emily will be returning to France. 'She didn't change her Instagram handle to 'Emily in Rome.' She is working in Rome sometimes. Sylvie's company has an office in Rome. Emily's getting that on its feet,' Star previously told Deadline. 'I don't necessarily think that it means a permanent — in my mind, it's definitely not a permanent — move to Rome. We're not leaving Paris.' Do we know what the storylines are about? While we don't know a ton of details, we do know that Emily will continue to explore things with Marcello, which Collins revealed she's on board with. '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,' she told Tudum. '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.' Star told Tudum that the strength of Emily and Marcello's connection will factor into Season 5. '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,' he said. What has the cast said? In an October 2024 interview with IndieWire, Bravo hinted at the possibility of not returning to Emily in Paris. 'The 'sexy chef' was very much part of me in Season 1 and we grew apart season after season because of the choices he makes and because of the direction they make him take. I've never been so far away from him,' he said. Bravo initially saw 'a lot of me in [Gabriel]' in Season 1, but was disappointed that they 'made him kind of unaware of his surroundings' and that he was 'always victimizing' and 'being completely lost in translation.' 'It kind of became not fun for me to shoot or to see a character I love so much and brought me so much, being slowly turned into guacamole. I really grew apart from him,' he added. The Freedom star seemed to have changed his tune by April 2025. In an interview with Parade, Bravo revealed plans to begin filming the fifth season of Emily in Paris in May and that 'it's the best season so far.' 'I had lunch with Darren a few days back, and he told me a bit without telling me too much. I think fans are going to lose it. It's the craziest one so far,' he told the outlet.
