Deadline announced two new additions to the Season 5 roster in July: Bryan Greenberg ( Suits LA, Junction) will play Jake, an American expat living in Paris, and Michèle Laroque ( Brilliantissime) will play Yvette, one of Sylvie’s oldest friends.

“Emily in Paris” is headed to Venice, Italy. After venturing out to Rome for the back half of Season 4, Season 5 will see Lily Collins’ Emily embrace Venice when the Darren Star-created show returns Thursday, Dec. 18. Netflix will drop all 10 episodes at once — a departure from its last season which premiered in two parts.

Following the summer 2024 release of Emily in Paris season four, Netflix officially greenlit the romantic comedy series for a fifth season. The streaming giant confirmed the news with a video of star Lily Collins. “There's no place like Rome,” the actor says before sipping on an Emily in Paris espresso cup, revealing a red “5” marked on the bottom.
