Warning: major spoilers ahead for Emily in Paris season 4.
Emily in Paris season 4 part 2 seems like it just arrived, and now season 5 is s'approche à grands pas. (Or, is fastly approaching, if you haven't brushed up on your French. Make sure you brush up on your Italian, next!) Your favorite stylish expat Emily Cooper, played by Lily Collins, is officially returning to Netflix for the fifth chapter of her adventure and taking on a brand new European city.
Emily in Paris is surprisingly one of the most divisive comedies of the past few years. The series follows the titular Emily, a marketing executive from Chicago, as she unexpectedly becomes a Paris transplant when she's hired to offer an American perspective for the fictional French firm Savoir. The show has been celebrated for its warmth, charm, and incredible fashion moments, and also criticized for its rose-colored, and sometimes stereotypical, portrayal of France and Parisians. Despite its mixed reviews, Emily in Paris season 4 ranked no. 1 on the Netflix Global Top 10 when it debuted on the streamer in August 2024, reaching nearly 20 million views in its first four days.
Whether you hate to love Emily or love to hate her, there's no denying that the upcoming fifth season of the show will be its juiciest yet.

When was Emily in Paris season 5 announced?
On September 16, 2024, only a few days after Emily in Paris season 4 part 2 debuted on Netflix, the streamer announced that the series was renewed for season 5. Series star Lily Collins announced the news on Good Morning America and appeared in the official announcement video, sipping from a cappuccino cup with the number 5 etched on its bottom. “There's no place like Rome!” Collins says with a playful wink.
While speaking to Netflix's Tudum, the show's creator Darren Star said he is “thrilled” to “continue Emily’s adventures in Rome and Paris.” With season 4 ending with a new Italian romance, a new Italian office, and a new Italian apartment, Star confirms that Emily is absolutely cementing a “presence in Rome.” “It doesn’t mean she’s not going to be in Paris," explained Star, “But she’s going to have a presence in Rome.”

What will Emily in Paris season 5 be about?
Emily in Paris season 4 ended with Sylvie asking Emily to lead the Agence Grateau's new Rome office, Mindy en route to Shanghai to face her past and serve as a judge on Chinese Popstar, Camille taking on single motherhood and adoption, and Gabriel headed to Rome to get the “greatest girl in the world” back. (Shout out to Alfie!) But it won't be that easy, because said girl is already wrapped up in a new romance with Marcello and embracing a fresh start in Italy.
“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,” Lily Collins said of her character's new beau while speaking to 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.”
Series creator Darren Star agrees, emphasizing the “real spark” between the two characters. “I feel like they have… a real connection and a real romantic connection. A lot of that’s going to continue to play out next season," he said to the Netflix blog. But is Gabriel endgame? After so much back-and-forth over the span of seasons 3 and 4, Gabriel's epiphany could throw a wrench in Emily's happiness. “Unfortunately, Gabriel has to deal with the repercussions of his choice," Collins says, predicting a very bumpy ride to Rome for the chef.
