Emily’s in Rome, Baby — But Trouble Still Follows
After four seasons of Parisian chaos, Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) is taking her marketing magic to Rome as the new head of Agence Grateau Rome. But don’t expect la dolce vita to come without a price.

Here’s the official synopsis:
Now the head of Agence Grateau Rome, Emily faces professional and romantic challenges as she adapts to life in a new city. But just as everything falls into place, a work idea backfires, and the fallout cascades into heartbreak and career setbacks. Seeking stability, Emily leans into her French lifestyle, until a big secret threatens one of her closest relationships. Tackling conflict with honesty, Emily emerges with deeper connections, renewed clarity, and a readiness to embrace new possibilities.
Sounds like we’re in for one of Emily’s most emotional (and stylish) seasons yet.
Who’s Back — and Who’s New?
Yes, Lucas Bravo is back as Gabriel (swoon), and so is the ever-iconic Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie. Also returning:
- Ashley Park as Mindy
- Samuel Arnold as Julien
- Bruno Gouery as Luc
- Lucien Laviscount as Alfie (YES, he’s still around!)
- William Abadie as Antoine
- Paul Forman, Thalia Besson, Arnaud Binard, and more.
And in some very regal casting news: Minnie Driver joins as Princess Jane and Bryan Greenberg (yes, from One Tree Hill fame) plays Jake. Also joining the chic chaos? French superstar Michèle Laroque as Yvette.

Now THAT’S what we call an international cast.
First Look: Lily Collins Is Living Her Italian Fantasy
The first images from Season 5, shared exclusively by People, show Emily looking radiant and romantic under the Roman sun — styled to perfection, of course. From cobblestone strolls in flowy dresses to Vespa rides that scream Roman Holiday, it’s clear this season isn’t just a vibe, it’s a whole new era.

What to Expect This Season (No Spoilers, Just Sass)
- New City, Same Drama: Rome brings new energy, but Emily’s chaos follows her like a designer handbag.
- Secrets and Scandals: A major reveal could destroy one of Emily’s closest relationships.
- Romance Roulette: Will Gabriel and Emily finally figure it out? Will Alfie stick around? And who exactly is this Jake guy?
- Fashion, Fashion, Fashion: Expect even more couture moments with an Italian twist. Milan Fashion Week might wanna watch its back.
Mark your calendars: Emily in Paris Season 5 premieres December 18, 2025 on Netflix.

In the meantime, fire up your group chat and start planning that Roman holiday rewatch. Because if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that wherever Emily goes — drama, romance, and fabulous outfits follow.
