Emily in Paris returned in late 2025 with a globe-trotting fifth season that splits Emily Cooper’s (Lily Collins) time between Paris and her new office in Rome. As creator Darren Star put it, “this season is a tale of two cities: Rome and Paris.”

Episodes & Setting

All ten episodes dropped on December 18, 2025, and are now streaming on Netflix. The season picks up right where Season 4 left off: Emily is opening the Rome branch of her marketing firm, reconnecting with old Parisian friends, and navigating fresh love interests. The vibe is La Dolce Vita meets Parisian chic.

Cast & Characters

Lily Collins headlines as Emily. The returning ensemble includes Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie), Ashley Park (Mindy), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), and William Abadie (Antoine).

Season 5 also introduces new faces:

Bryan Greenberg as Jake (an American expat in Paris).
Michèle Laroque as Yvette (Sylvie’s old friend).
Minnie Driver as Princess Jane (a royal acquaintance of Sylvie).

What to Expect

Expect plenty of romantic entanglements, fashion drama, and Emily’s signature optimism. Early buzz suggests a continued emphasis on Emily’s career growth and her balancing of multiple romances—especially a new spark with her Italian colleague Marcello.
