'Emily in Paris' season 5 gets release date: See 1st-look photos
Emily Cooper has her sights set on Italy in season 5 of "Emily in Paris." Netflix has released a first look at season 5 of the highly anticipated season. The streamer also announced the fifth season of the show will be released Dec. 18. This time around, Emily (Lily Collins) will be exploring not only France but also Italy, just as she did at the end of season 4. She will spend time in Rome once again and also take a visit to Venice for the first time. 'Emily in Paris' cast talks season 4's romance, drama and 'twists and turns' "This season is a tale of two cities. Rome and Paris," the show's creator, Darren Star, told Netflix. "Straddling both, Emily takes love and life to the next level." The first-look photos find Emily exploring these cities as she travels with her new beau, Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini), and her best friend Mindy (Ashley Park). Also returning for season 5 are Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie, Lucas Bravo as Gabriel, Samuel Arnold as Julien, Bruno Gouery as Luc, William Abadie as Antoine, Lucien Laviscount as Alfie and Thalia Besson as Genevieve. Returning cast members Paul Forman and Arnaud Binard will also appear in the season, playing Nico and Laurent G, respectively. New cast members for season 5 include Bryan Greenberg, who plays Jake, an American living in Paris; Michèle Laroque, who plays Yvette, an old friend of Sylvie; and Minnie Driver, who plays Princess Jane, another of Sylvie's friends, who has married into a royal family. "From Parisian rooftops to Roman ruins, we can't wait to share where Emily's next chapter takes us," Star said.

Channel 4 Content Boss Joins Heated ‘Adolescence' Debate & Calls Out Netflix For Not Doing Spotlight Session At Edinburgh TV Festival
Channel 4 content boss Ian Katz has joined the Adolescence debate sparked this morning at the Edinburgh TV Festival and called out Netflix for not hosting a Spotlight Session at the fest. While noting 'we love Netflix' as a platform, Katz swung in behind his news chief Louisa Compton, who earlier today said that Netflix behaved like 'TV tourists' over Adolescence after Channel 4 had spent decades giving opportunities to Adolescence co-creators Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham. More from Deadline Netflix UK Scripted Chief Bristles At "TV Tourists" Barb After Success Of 'Adolescence' Roy Wood Jr. Predicts Stephen Colbert Will Become Leading Anti-Trump Voice On YouTube Next Year Paramount UK Chief Ben Frow Says Channel 5 Won't Be Sold After Skydance Merger 'What Louise was getting at is there is a bit of a problem when global streamers are happy to take advantage of an incredibly rich global ecosystem that has been built up through years and years of PSBs investing in talent, in small companies, spread around the country,' added Katz. Deadline revealed last week that Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and Warner Bros. Discovery wouldn't be taking part in their usual Spotlight Sessions at Edinburgh TV Fest and Katz called this out. 'They don't have any obligation to do any of those things. They're not even having Spotlight Sessions,' he said. Israel-Gaza conflict Elsewhere, Katz delivered an emotive viewpoint on why broadcasters and broader institutions need to get their coverage of the Israel-Gaza conflict spot on or risk losing young audiences in their entirety. He added: 'The thing that really strikes me as an industry, and perhaps more widely as a set of institutions, is that we are at risk of missing the fact that for a lot of younger people in this country the Gaza-Israel conflict has become the defining issue for their generation. 'If we don't get Gaza-Israel right we will lose young audiences and could lose them for a generation.' Katz, who at last night's annual press dinner praised Channel 4's risk-taking over taking on the BBC's Gaza: Doctors Under Attack documentary, said his network has handled the conflict 'very sure-footedly and with subtlety, intelligence and commitment.' He said there had previously 'been a slightly lazy caricature' that younger audiences only want to watch shows like Married at First Sight and Love Island, or tune into YouTubers like Mr Beast and the Sidemen. Channel 4 has been massively ramping up drama of late, having unveiled shows from the likes of Steven Moffat, Ronan Bennett and starring Glenn Close at this year's fest so far. Katz said his team is looking at drama costing around £2.5M ($3.4M) to £2.7M, which is not prohibitively expensive, and that the network is 'not sitting back and waiting for American co-producers.' He said the network's two most-watched dramas of the year, Patience and In Flight, are 'at the bottom end scale of our tariffs.' He was speaking at the Edinburgh TV Fest on the same day as Shonda Rhimes and Roy Wood Jr. Best of Deadline 2025 TV Series Renewals: Photo Gallery 2025 TV Cancellations: Photo Gallery Everything We Know About 'The Boys' Prequel Series 'Vought Rising' So Far

These 'Emily in Paris' Season 5 Images Give a Revealing Glimpse at Emily's Love Life
THE RUNDOWN: Emily ventures to Italy in season 5 of Emily in Paris, and new first-look images hint at new developments in her love life. In one scene, Emily (Lily Collins) and Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini), who sparked a romance in season 4, stroll in a close embrace through the city. In another, they're seen horseback riding. Previous set photos also showed Emily appearing to kiss Marcello on a balcony. In a statement to Tudum, Collins spoke about Emily and Marcello's budding romance. '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 said. '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 also confirmed that their relationship will continue in season 5. 'I feel like they have a real spark and a real connection and a real romantic connection,' he told Tudum. 'A lot of that's going to continue to play out next season.' But, of course, Emily's longtime French love interest Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) is still determined to win her back. Let's see how this love triangle unfolds.
