Emily in Paris Season 5 Sets Dec. 18 Premiere as Lucien Laviscount Teases Big Twists

Netflix pegs a Dec. 18 launch for a Rome-centered chapter the cast says veers in unexpected directions.

Overview

  • Netflix’s official synopsis says Emily now leads Agence Grateau’s Rome office and confronts career and relationship fallout after a backfiring idea and a secret that threatens a close bond.
  • Lucien Laviscount tells People to “strap in,” saying the new season “goes left, so far left, and a little bit right,” and adds he doesn’t root for an Emily–Alfie reunion.
  • Production began in May and wrapped in late August after filming across Paris, Rome and Venice, according to cast interviews and trade reporting.
  • Series regulars including Philippine Leroy‑Beaulieu, Ashley Park, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery and William Abadie return, with Bryan Greenberg, Michèle Laroque and Minnie Driver joining the cast.
  • Camille Razat is not returning, and an assistant director, Diego Borella, reportedly died during an August Venice shoot, according to Italy’s La Repubblica as cited by the New York Post.
