Will there be a fifth season of “Emily in Paris”? Everything you need to know
Despite no official confirmation from Netflix about a renewal of Emily in Paris for a fifth season, its popularity and the possibility of a new setting in Rome cast a promising outlook.
Season 4 of Emily in Paris, has once again been a huge hit for Netflix with fans of the show after it premiered last month at the Egyptian Theater in Los Angeles as we follow Lily Collins as Emily Cooper making her way through the cultural minefield of the French capital as an aspiring marketing executive.
The first half of the fourth season aired in August with the second half of season 4 following with a global release this week (Thursday 12 September).
Season 5 walk-on role auctioned at amfAR Gala
But even before Season 4 drops, there have been suggestions that a fifth season is already in the pipeline. The biggest hint came at Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roccap D’Antibes during the 30th amfAR Gala Cannes back in May. The annual black tie gala raises money for HIV and AIDS research with $16 million raised at this year’s event.
Among the lots in the charity auction were a Damien Hirst spot painting, an Andy Warhol Elizabeth Taylor print, a pair of Chopard earrings worn by Demi Moore and a cameo in the next season of Emily in Paris...
“One of you is going to leave here tonight with a walk-on role in season 5 of the hit TV show Emily In Paris,” host Paris Jackson told attendees, adding that filming for the new season would begin in mid-2025.
Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh revealed that the lot, for a a guest role in Emily in Paris’ fifth season, sold for 250,00 euros ($275,000) but did not disclose who won.
As of the moment, Netflix has not officially renewed the series for a fifth season. Season 4 was confirmed in July 2023 and production began in April of this year, so in comparison, the proposed new series is already behind schedule. Having said that, with Season 4 about to drop, it makes no sense for the streaming service to get ahead of itself.
‘Emily in Paris’ Season 5 still not signed off
With season four ending up in the Italian capital as Emily moving to Rome, the dynamics between her, Marcello, and Gabriel could be the cornerstone in any potential fifth season and the show could explore Emily’s adjustment to her new role, her new city and her evolving relationships.
