An exciting update on Emily in Paris Season 5 has finally arrived! Netflix confirmed that production for the fifth chapter has kicked off in May 2025 in Rome, a major shift in the show’s backdrop.

What’s new this time? The glamorous marketing exec is expanding her world. Emily will now be splitting her time between Paris and Rome, managing a new office in Italy while keeping her presence alive in the city that made her famous.

This means that Paris remains a key part of Cooper's life, but the Italian capital is also getting a fair share of spotlight in Emily in Paris Season 5. Following the first look, creator Darren Star said:

"The cast and crew of Emily in Paris are thrilled to begin filming Season 5 in the Eternal City. From Parisian rooftops to Roman ruins, we can’t wait to share where Emily’s next chapter takes us."

As seen in the previous season, Emily again went through a roller coaster of emotions as she got back with Gabriel, but their relationship didn't last long. Just when Emily thought she was all alone, the heir of a luxury cashmere business, Marcello Muratori, stepped into her life.

Emily in Paris Season 5 production begins in Italy

Since the previous season ended on a cliffhanger, fans have been curious about the story in Emily in Paris Season 5. While Emily is enjoying Italy with Marcello, Gabriel is desperate to tell her what he truly feels and win Emily back.

However, this is going to be a complicated love life for Emily, as she will need to choose between the two men. So, who will she choose? That's what Emily in Paris Season 5 is expected to explore.

As for Lily Collins's thoughts on her character's relationships, the actress shared:

"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."

Not only this, Darren Star also confirmed that Marcello will play a key role in Emily's new journey. The creator said:

"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."

As for Cooper's career, she has greater responsibilities. Emily is now responsible for running the Agence Grateau office in Rome, which is not only a career change but also a plot change for Emily in Paris Season 5.

Another pleasing news is that Lucas Bravo, as well as the main cast, will be back. Nevertheless, Camille Razat will no longer be seen in Season 5 since the actress has left the show.
