In response, he said,It’s difficult because when I’m in Italy, I feel at home and I’m happier. I don’t know if it’s better for work because when I’m abroad, I’m more focused and concentrated. When I’m in Italy, I have a lot of friends – in Venice and Rome. They call me everyday and say, “Eugenio, let’s go and do something.” I love to shoot in Italy but when I’m in Paris, it’s better for work. It’s split.Thus there are both pros and cons of working in his home country and abroad. But it seems Franceschini might just prefer Paris for work, while his heart sometimes longs for Venice or Rome.In addition to Lily Collins and Eugenio Franceschini, Emily in Paris Season 5 will feature returning cast members Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie Grateau, Ashley Park as Mindy Chen, Lucas Bravo as Gabriel, Samuel Arnold as Julien, Bruno Gouery as Luc, William Abadie as Antoine Lambert, Lucien Laviscount as Alfie, Thalia Besson as Genevieve, Paul Forman as Nico, and Arnaud Binard as Laurent G.New cast members joining the show for Season 5 are Bryan Greenberg as Jake, Michèle Laroque as Yvette, and Minnie Driver as Princess Jane.
