Season 5 of Emily in Paris will premiere on Netflix on December 18, 2025, right in time for Christmas and New Year. Darren Star, the show’s creator, told Tudum, “This season is a tale of two cities—Rome and Paris. Straddling both, Emily takes love and life to the next level.”

He added, “From Parisian rooftops to Roman ruins, we can’t wait to share where Emily’s next chapter takes us. Emily’s going to have a presence in Rome. It doesn’t mean she’s not going to be in Paris.” The goal was to stay ahead of the audience and take them to unexpected places each season.
The marks wanted the show to have the ability to have a bigger footprint than just Paris. As for the characters, “Marcello is a whole other adventure that we want for Emily because we ultimately want Emily to have a better work-life balance,” the showrunner explained the thought process.
“We want to have Emily be able to smile without condition. We want to see her beyond her vacay mode. And he comes at that perfect time,” Darren mused. When talking about Emily and Marcello’s relationship, he calls it a real spark and a real romantic connection.
But there’s also Gabriel who has had an on and off romance with Emily over the seasons. Towards the end of season four, he realized he wanted to fight for her. “Unfortunately, Gabriel has to deal with the repercussions of his choice,” Darren also teased about the path he will have to face now.
