Emily in Paris (Season 5)

Season 5 of Emily in Paris opens a completely new chapter in Emily Cooper’s life, shifting the story from Paris to Rome. After four seasons of fashion, romance, and professional chaos, Emily accepts a major career challenge and becomes the head of Sylvie Grateau’s new Italian office. The move is not just geographical — it represents a chance to start over and leave old emotional entanglements behind.

Yet love proves impossible to escape. A charming Italian named Marcello enters Emily’s life, instantly disrupting her plans and emotions. At the same time, Gabriel — now a Michelin-starred chef — is unwilling to let her go and begins considering a move to Italy himself. What began as a Parisian love triangle seamlessly transforms into a Roman one.

According to showrunner Darren Star, the season explores the contrast between French elegance and Italian passion, blending cultural misunderstandings, humor, and heightened emotional stakes. While Rome becomes the main setting, Paris remains present through familiar characters whose influence follows Emily across borders.

Season 5 balances its signature glamour with more mature themes, focusing on personal growth, career ambition, and emotional consequences. As Emily navigates new opportunities and old feelings, the series delivers a dynamic and emotionally rich chapter against the backdrop of Rome.
