Will there be an Emily In Paris season 5?
Yes! Netflix confirmed season 5 of Emily In Paris is coming with a picture of Emily drinking a cup of espresso, with the number '5' written on the bottom. They wrote: "There's no place like Rome. Emily in Paris is coming back for SEASON 5!"
Ahead of season 4, the show's creator, Darren Star, had hinted that he was up for creating another season when he was asked "how long" he would be creating stories for the characters.
Talking to the The Hollywood Reporter, he said: "Well, let’s see how long they want us for. To me, great characters on a great series are like, I have a hard time letting go and saying goodbye.
"They always take you places. If you look at Sex and the City, It’s still happening 25 years later."

When is Emily In Paris season 5 coming out?
The release date for the new season hasn't been revealed which is not surprising as part two of the fourth season only dropped 4 days before season 5 was announced.
But it had since been reported that filming for season 5 would commence this May, but now it's been reported that filming isn't commencing until the summer months, meaning the all important release date will have been pushed back.
Speaking about when filming should begin, actress Ashely Park (who plays Mindy Chen in the show) has said, via People: "Let me tell you, I am highly anticipating [Emily in Paris]... It's gonna be summertime and it's gonna be in Europe, but I don't even know what country at this point,"
Previous seasons have dropped around Christmas time, but season 4 broke tradition when part two was released in September, just as we were all getting in our autumnal feels. Now with an estimated summertime filming schedule we might not get to see the next season before summer 2026.
What will be the plot of Emily In Paris season 5?
So far, the show's star Lilly Collins has said there’ll be more of Emily and Marcello’s romance in season 5.
"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," she said on Good Morning America.
However the show's creator Darren Star has also said Gabriel and Emily have "unfinished business". Talking to Deadline, he said: "I think Gabriel realised that he doesn’t want to let Emily go so easily, and he might have made a big mistake.
"They certainly had a big fight and a cooling off period. But I think he realised that by the end of the season, that there’s something that he doesn’t want to let Emily go."
He continued: "I don’t know what that means. Doesn’t necessarily mean they’re going to be together instantly or ever. I don’t know, but I think he feels there’s unfinished business with the two of them."
Star has also confirmed that while the show will begin in Rome, Emily will be making a return to Paris.
Who is in the cast of Emily In Paris season 5?
Of course, Lily Collins who plays the show's titular character will return and Ashley Park (Mindy) has said she's "so excited" to film in France and Italy, confirming her return.
Lily and Lucas Bravo as Emily and Gabriel are the centre of the show, so it would be surprising if they didn't return together however Lucas has expressed his irritations with the show and the plot line of his character, which could mean his return is still up in the air.
It's likely that an important cast member like Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, who plays Sylvie, will be returning - but this is not yet confirmed. And we may even see some of the new Italian faces like Eugenio Franceschini, who plays Marcello, and Thalia Besson, who plays Genevieve, return to fold for a new season.
We'll update this page when we find out more about the show's fifth season!
