Netflix hasn’t officially confirmed Season 5 of Emily in Paris yet, but there are plenty of hints that it’s already happening.

At the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, Paris Jackson and Winnie Harlow teased guest roles in Season 5, strongly hinting that production is in motion. Given the show’s popularity, it would be a huge surprise to see Netflix cancel it, especially after that killer twist in Season 4. Behind-the-scenes reports suggest filming might start in mid-2025, so an official renewal announcement should be just around the corner.

As for when we’ll actually see Season 5, here’s what we can expect based on the previous season’s release dates:

Season 1 was released in October 2020.
Season 2 was released in December 2021.
Season 3 was released in December 2022.
Season 4 was released in two parts, with the second part airing yesterday.

Given that Season 5’s filming could start in mid-2025 and previous seasons took about 12-18 months from filming to release, we’re likely looking at a release date sometime in mid-to-late 2026. This would continue the show’s holiday season release trend, which was interrupted in Season 4.

Now let’s dive into the juicy ending of Season 4 Part 2 and how it might shape the highly anticipated Season 5:

Season 4 Part 2 was packed with drama. Emily’s personal and professional lives collided in the most unexpected ways. Here’s a quick breakdown of all the key moments from the final episodes:

After Alfie started ghosting Emily, she took matters into her own hands by heading to Rome to find him.

Sylvie was pushing Emily to mix business with pleasure, encouraging her to save Marcello’s struggling family company while rekindling their romance.

At first things didn’t go as planned. Marcello was hurt thinking Emily was only there for business and even sent her away. But thanks to his mother Antonia overhearing Emily’s sincere conversation, Marcello realizes her true intentions and they reconcile.

Emily and Marcello’s chemistry was undeniable, and we got to see them spending time together in the quaint corners of Rome, sharing sweet moments that gave fans hope their relationship might work. However, Marcello’s initial mistrust still lingers, and Emily can’t shake the feeling that mixing business with pleasure could spell trouble on the business side.

Sylvie, Luke, and Julien managed to pitch their marketing plan to Marcello and his mom, but it didn’t go smoothly. Antonia almost walked away from the deal after discovering they didn’t have a real Rome office. In a last-ditch effort, Sylvie asked for 6 months to prove themselves, and Antonia reluctantly agreed, setting the stage for Emily to play a key role in expanding Agence Grateau to Rome.

Meanwhile, back in Paris, Gabriel’s storyline took an emotional turn. After earning a prestigious Michelin star for his restaurant, he found himself less excited than expected. Instead, he was preoccupied with thoughts of Emily, who was in Rome with Marcello. Geneviève tried to celebrate with him, even sharing a kiss, but Gabriel’s heart clearly wasn’t in it. He called Emily to share the good news but could only leave a voicemail confessing his gratitude and his longing for her.

The finale sets up an emotional and complicated dynamic between Emily, Marcello, and Gabriel.

Emily is now fully settled in Rome and leading the new office, trying to focus on her fresh start with Marcello. But Gabriel’s unresolved feelings for her and his growing success create a looming tension that could upend everything in Season 5.

So what can we expect from Emily in Paris Season 5 based on this ending?

Emily’s relationship with Marcello seemed to be on the upswing by the end of Season 4, but the tension between her and Gabriel is undeniable. Emily may start to question her true feelings and whether her romance with Marcello is just a distraction from the unresolved emotions she has for Gabriel. We could see her torn between two men, with the possibility that Gabriel finally makes a bold move to win her over.

Emily’s move to Rome to lead Agence Grateau’s new office adds a new layer of responsibility to her character. We could see her grappling with the pressure to prove herself in Rome while maintaining her connections to Paris. Her bond with Sylvie, Luke, and Julien will also be tested as they split their time between two cities. Could the team experience more internal conflicts as they juggle their roles in Paris and Rome? And what about the Rome office itself? Could we see new characters introduced that challenge Emily’s leadership and shake things up in the workplace?

Gabriel’s Michelin star achievement was a huge moment for him, but his feelings for Emily overshadowed it in Season 4. In Season 5, we could see Gabriel’s career really take off, potentially leading to more tension with Emily. Will that success push him further away from Emily, or will it make him more determined to fight for her?

Overall, Emily in Paris Season 5 promises to be another exciting and dramatic season. We can’t wait to see how Emily’s love life and career unfold.
