“I don’t want to be part of a machine that tends to disregard the intelligence of its audience.”
It seems even Gabriel himself is a little tired of Gabriel and Emily’s roller-coaster plotline on Emily in Paris. Lucas Bravo, the actor who plays Gabriel on the show, told French outlet Le Figaro in an interview—translated by Glamour—that he may not return to the Netflix series for season five, basically because he finds the writing a bit stale.
Acknowledging that being on the series has opened many doors for him in his career, Bravo said that Emily in Paris doesn’t give him the kind of freedom he’s gotten from other projects, which he’s now gotten a taste for. “Life is short,” Bravo said. “The filming of this series lasts five months. Do I want to sacrifice them to do something that doesn’t excite me?”
Asked if he would return to the show for season five, Lucas Bravo said, “It will depend on the script.”
“In the last season, the writing was a little bit in this ’90s idea where the lovers break up, kiss, and break up again.” He continued, “Everything is based on miscommunication. It’s a little archaic.” He explained that the new generation tends to verbalize their issues and are more comfortable confronting one another, so this idea that people can’t understand each other doesn’t really work anymore. “People can see that mechanism coming from miles away. And I don’t want to be part of a machine that tends to disregard the intelligence of its audience.”
And it’s not like Bravo is the only one who feels this way. Even fans of the show have grown bored with this particular will-they-or-won’t-they plot. For instance, one Redditor wrote, “Are the writers just going to make us keep watching her consistently screw up any new, promising relationships due to her ridiculously impractical longing for Gabriel? And how does she not know French yet?”
