The highly anticipated fifth season of Netflix’s global phenomenon, “Emily in Paris,” has officially wrapped filming, bringing fans closer to a delightful holiday treat. Viewers can mark their calendars for Thursday, December 18, when all ten new episodes of this beloved Netflix Series are set to drop, promising fresh escapades for Emily Cooper and her Parisian circle.
Series stars Lily Collins, who embodies the titular marketing maven Emily Cooper, and Ashley Park, known for her role as cabaret-singer Mindy Chen, recently celebrated the conclusion of production. Their joint social media post on August 26 featured a heartwarming image of the actresses, seemingly on a Venetian dock overlooking the Santa Maria della Salute, each holding a vibrant bouquet, captioned with sentiments of enduring friendship.
However, the final weeks of filming for “Emily in Paris” Season 5 were reportedly overshadowed by a tragic event. The production family mourned the sudden passing of assistant director Diego Borella, who died of a heart attack on set on August 21 at the age of 47. Filming was temporarily paused out of respect before resuming on August 23, with Paramount Television Studios expressing deep sadness and condolences to his loved ones.
The upcoming Season 5 promises an exciting geographical shift and a new romantic interest for Emily. Creator Darren Star revealed that this installment is a “tale of two cities,” with Emily splitting her time between Rome and Paris. In Italy, she will explore a budding romance with cashmere scion Marcello, portrayed by Eugenio Franceschini, signifying a new chapter in her personal life.
Professionally, Emily’s journey takes an ambitious turn as she assumes the head of Agence Grateau Rome, navigating the complexities of a new city and culture. While adapting to Roman life, she faces both romantic and professional hurdles, with an innovative work idea unexpectedly backfiring, leading to unforeseen complications and heartbreak.
The official synopsis hints at Emily seeking stability amidst these challenges, prompting her to lean into her familiar French lifestyle. Yet, a significant secret emerges, threatening one of her closest relationships. Through honest confrontation and resilience, Emily is poised to forge deeper connections, gain renewed clarity, and embrace a myriad of new possibilities in her evolving life, typical of a compelling Romantic Comedy drama.
Netflix has already offered an enticing glimpse into the new episodes with a fresh batch of first-look photos.
