What happens to Genevieve in Emily In Paris?

* Emily In Paris season four part two spoilers ahead*

In the fourth season Genevieve swoops in and creates yet another love triangle for Emily but in true Emily In Paris style, Genevieve doesn’t win the guy.

Genevieve tries to charm Gabriel while Emily tries to push away any feelings she has for him. For a while Genevieve has the upper hand as she bonds with the French chef through their mutual ability to speak French.

However, Gabriel ends up shutting down her advances as he hops on a plane to Rome to try and win back Emily, who is now cosying up with her new love interest Marcello.

Will Genevieve (Thalia Besson) be in Emily In Paris season 5?

As a season 5 has not yet been confirmed by Netflix, we don’t know if Thalia will be in the cast of the next season.

If Emily In Paris is renewed for season five, she could return as she had a pivotal role in season four but now that her love triangle seems to have played out there may be no reason for her character Genevieve to come back for a new season.
