Emily is heading to Rome. In 2024, Netflix renewed everyone’s favorite series, Emily in Paris, for its fifth season. After leaving everyone on the edge of their seats with that plot twist at the end of Season 4, fans of the show are already clamoring for the show’s return in late 2025. And now, fans just got their first look at the new season with the first Emily In Paris Season 5 trailer.
While Emily is certainly going to be in Paris, Collins confirmed in fall 2024 that she’d be venturing into Rome — as shown during Season 4 Part 2. With L’Agence Grateau opening a new office in the capital of Italy, Collins said Emily will have a “presence in Rome,” but that “doesn’t mean she’s not going to be in Paris.”
While Emily may certainly make her way back to Paris, one thing is for sure: Season 5 will basically be known as Emily In Rome, and the first trailer confirmed as much when it dropped on Oct. 22. Netflix even teased at the new name at the end of the trailer. Here’s everything that was included in the trailer, as well as the official Season 5 release date, and a look at the returning cast.
The Emily In Paris Season 5 Trailer
The Emily In Paris Season 5 trailer opens on Emily in Rome, taking in the city’s sights alongside her new love interest, Marcello. Marcello is featured in the voiceover, saying, “We start on a beautiful woman. She’s joined by a man. It’s clear they know each other. Unable to keep their hands off each other. Eventually, sharing a kiss.” The trailer also shows Emily’s L’Agence Grateau team (yes, the entire team) in Rome, along with Emily’s BFF, Mindy. At the end of the trailer, Julian asks, “If we are all here, who is in Paris?”
When Is Emily in Paris Season 5 Coming Out?
Season 5 of Emily in Paris will be released on Netflix on Dec. 18, 2025.
Will Genevieve Be In Emily In Paris Season 5?
As one of the newest additions to the cast, it would be criminal to not see what comes of Emily’s relationship with Genevieve (Thalia Besson). ICYMI, Genevieve joined L’Agence Grateau in Season 4 as Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu)’s stepdaughter. She hit it off with Emily after connecting with her over their shared American citizenship.
However, fans grew less fond of Genevieve when she hijacked Emily’s relationship with Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) after falsely translating what he said to her during a fight. After telling Emily that Gabriel didn’t want to be with her anymore, she swooped in and stole him for herself, going as far as to move into their apartment building.
A clip of Genevieve sitting at Emily’s desk was shown at the end of Season 4, hinting that she may have had plans to steal her job (and man) all along. Emily in Paris creator Darren Star spoke with Glamour ahead of the show’s Season 5 renewal and admitted he “[didn’t] know” if Genevieve was “redeemable.” As for whether or not she’ll appear in Season 5, Variety confirmed on June 25 that Thalia Besson is back for Season 5, so viewers will find out more about Genevieve’s true intentions soon. She isn’t seen in the Season 5 trailer, though, so we don’t know what she’s currently up to.
Will Camille Return To Emily in Paris Season 5?
While Genevieve’s fate on Emily in Paris is promising, the same cannot be said for Camille (Camille Razat). As one-third of Emily and Gabriel’s love triangle, she was a key part of the cast for quite some time. However, her storyline took a swift turn in Season 4 after she received a false positive pregnancy test with Gabriel despite him being with Emily.
Camille keeps the knowledge of her false positive a secret for quite some time, but eventually has to admit the news to Gabriel. When she asks him to instead adopt a baby with her, he declines, and we see little of her for the rest of Season 4.
On April 23, 2025, Razat confirmed she wouldn’t be returning to the show. “After an incredible journey, I’ve made the decision to step away from Emily in Paris,” Razat wrote on Instagram. “It has been a truly wonderful experience, one filled with growth, creativity, and unforgettable memories.”
Will Emily Get Back Together With Gabriel, Or Move On With Marcello In Season 5?
Emily’s love life will be the center of attention once again in Season 5. After Gabriel sent mixed signals to Emily (and left her alone on a ski mountain), they ended their turbulent relationship. Once Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini) stepped into the picture as Emily’s new love interest, Gabriel vowed to win her back, but Season 4 didn’t reveal who she chose to be with.
When discussing Season 5’s renewal, Collins said that Gabriel “unfortunately has to deal with the repercussions of his choice” to break things off. Star confirmed that Emily and Marcello will continue to explore their “real spark” and “real connection” in Season 5. Star also revealed that Marcello was brought in as “a whole other adventure” for Emily to “have a better work/life balance.”
I’m ecstatic that Emily in Paris Season 5 is on the horizon. I can’t wait to see how Emily fairs in both Paris and Rome.
