Emily is staying in Europe for another year. Netflix has renewed the Emily in Paris series for a fifth season, with an announcement coming just days after the second half of season four’s release. The news comes straight from star Lily Collins.
Starring Collins, Ashley Park, Philippine Leroy Beaulieu, Lucas Bravo, Samuel Arnold, Camille Razat, Bruno Gouery, Kate Walsh, and William Abadie, the Netflix series follows an American named Emily (Collins) after she moves to Paris for a job opportunity. Season four saw Emily expand her European presence to another city, with a home now in Rome, but the series will still have a strong presence in Paris.

The renewal is not all too surprising. Reports surfaced back in May that a walk-on role for season five was being auctioned at Cannes. The winning bidder was also able to attend the premiere event for season four.
Darren Star, creator of Emily in Paris, said the following about the renewal and what is ahead for Emily in season five, per Tudum:
“We’re thrilled with the incredible response to this season of Emily in Paris and excited to return for a fifth to continue Emily’s adventures in Rome and Paris!
I feel like [Emily and Marcello] 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.”
Collins also spoke about the series’ renewal
“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. We want to have Emily be able to smile without condition. We want to see her beyond her vacay mode. And he comes at that perfect time.”
