Emily in Paris Season 5
Emily in Paris is back on Netflix, and the new season is packed with fashion, drama, and a major change of scenery.
This time, Emily is splitting her time between the classic streets of Paris and the sunny vibes of Rome.
New Romance and New Challenges
Emily has a new boyfriend: Marcello Muratori, a handsome Italian heir to a luxury cashmere brand.
While she is busy running the new Rome office for Agence Grateau, things aren’t easy.
She struggles to sign Italian clients, even with the help of a stylish royal played by Minnie Driver.
A Trip to Venice and New Faces
Creator Darren Star decided to take the show to Venice for a special work trip.
This beautiful setting helps Emily think about her future: should she stay in Italy for love or go back to her life in Paris?
This season also introduces some exciting new characters:
- Minnie Driver: Plays a sharp-witted professional.
- Bryan Greenberg: Joins as Emily’s first American friend living in Paris.
The Big Finale: Choosing Independence
The season ends on a massive cliffhanger. Gabriel sends Emily a postcard from Greece, leaving their relationship status a mystery.
However, Emily makes a major realization. She decides that being with Marcello feels like living his life instead of hers.
