There is no place like Rome. Netflix quickly announced that the popular series Emily in Paris is renewed for a fifth season. This announcement came just four days after Part 2 of Season 4 premiered on the platform. The latest episodes showed that fans remain very interested in Emily’s adventures in Europe, and she will keep returning for more.
Fans are now wondering if the series will keep its title. Season 4 hinted at different cities where Emily might move. By the end of the season, titled “All Roads Lead to Rome,” Emily decided to take a break from work and spend time in Italy.
This could have been a one-episode event, but Emily agreed to run Sylvie’s (played by Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) Agence Grateau office in Rome. This suggests that Emily might move there in the upcoming season.
Last week, Emily in Paris showrunner Darren Star, known for Sex and the City, talked about the change in setting. He mentioned that there is a lot for Emily to discover in Rome, but it doesn’t mean the show is leaving Paris.
Star said that adding Rome to the series’ itinerary broadens its scope and is a good way to shake up Emily’s life as she was getting used to Paris. There are still many storylines left in Paris, especially with Gabriel (played by Lucas Bravo) finally earning his Michelin star.
Emily In Paris Season 4 Was a Hit
The renewal of Emily in Paris is no surprise to those who follow Netflix’s most-watched titles. Season 4 was the top-watched title on the platform and encouraged viewers to binge-watch earlier seasons to catch up or remember the story. This led past seasons to also enter the top 10 most-watched lists in recent weeks.

The renewal is great news for fans because Season 4 ended with several cliffhangers. Collider’s Emily Cappello described the season finale as “jaw-dropping” for its big twist just when the series needed one.
Although it is too early to know how Season 5 will unfold, this exciting development will keep fans coming back to see what happens next.
