The stylish chaos of Emily in Paris is back—but this time, there’s a Roman twist.
Lily Collins and the rest of the cast have kicked off filming for the highly anticipated fifth season of the Netflix hit, and they’ve traded the streets of Paris for the beauty and drama of Rome.
The show’s beloved lead, Emily Cooper (played by Collins), was recently spotted zipping through the Italian capital on the back of a cream Vespa, snapping selfies like the social media queen she is.
Joining her?
Her current on-screen love interest, Marcello, played by Eugenio Franceschini.
But of course, it wouldn’t be Emily in Paris without some complicated romantic tension—and her ex-boyfriend Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) isn’t far behind.
Romance, Drama, and Designer Outfits in the Eternal City
Emily was looking as effortlessly chic as ever, rocking a black-and-white geometric jumpsuit, cinched at the waist and paired with shimmering silver platforms.
Marcello matched the vibe in a sleek cream linen suit and wine-red polo. But the glam wasn’t the only thing heating up the scene.
At the end of Season 4, Emily had a big choice to make—stick with her old life in Paris or start a new chapter in Rome, both in love and career.
With a new job offer in Italy and a budding romance with Marcello, she seemed ready to let go of the past.
But Gabriel’s surprise arrival in Rome suggests that Emily’s heart may not be fully settled just yet.
Catching Up on That Season 4 Cliffhanger
Need a refresher?
The last season ended with Emily taking a break from her phone (shocking, right?) to enjoy a romantic Roman adventure with Marcello.
Meanwhile, Gabriel, feeling the weight of regret, made a dramatic dash to Italy after a heart-to-heart with Alfie, urging him to win Emily back.
This love triangle isn’t new, but the stakes are higher than ever.
Emily and Gabriel had tried to rekindle their romance after his messy breakup with Camille—who faked a pregnancy to keep him—but things just didn’t click.
Enter Marcello, whom Emily first met during a ski trip gone wrong, and their spark only grew stronger from there.
Emily’s Struggle Between Love and Career
Besides navigating her love life, Emily also has a big professional decision on her plate.
She was offered a leadership role at the Italian branch of Agence Grateau, the marketing agency that changed her life in Paris.
It’s a dream opportunity, but also one that comes with challenges—especially when it involves trying to merge business with pleasure.
Things between Emily and Marcello hit a rough patch when he discovered she was sent to negotiate with his family’s luxury cashmere business.
But, true to form, the couple managed to talk it through and smooth things over… just in time for Gabriel to show up.
Will Emily Choose Rome or Paris?
So, is Emily in Rome the next chapter?
Not quite. According to series creator Darren Star, the show isn’t packing up from Paris completely.
Emily is just splitting her time between cities—she’s working in Rome, yes, but she’s not leaving Paris behind.
“She didn’t change her Instagram handle to Emily in Rome,” Star joked.
“It’s definitely not a permanent move. We’re not leaving Paris.”
That’s a relief for fans who love the City of Light just as much as the show’s stylish leads do.
Farewell Camille: A Fan-Favorite Bids an Emotional Goodbye
In other big news, Camille Razat, who plays Emily’s friend-turned-rival Camille, has announced that she’s leaving the show after five seasons.
Sharing the heartfelt update on Instagram, she thanked fans and the creative team, saying the character’s journey had come to a natural end.
“It has been a truly wonderful experience, filled with growth, creativity, and unforgettable memories,” she wrote, adding that while Camille’s story may be over for now, the door is open for a possible return.
Camille’s role has been central to many of the show’s major plot twists—especially the tangled love drama with Emily and Gabriel.
Her exit will definitely change the dynamic going forward.
What’s Next for Camille Razat?
Although she’s stepping away from Emily in Paris, Camille Razat is far from done.
She’s just wrapped two new series—Nero for Netflix and The Lost Station Girls for Disney+.
She also announced the launch of her own production company, Tazar Production, which will focus on music videos, short films, and eventually a feature film.
Co-stars like Lily Collins, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, and Lucien Laviscount flooded the comments with love and admiration.
It’s clear Camille made a big impact on and off screen.
Season 5 Air Date and What to Expect
The fifth season is expected to premiere later this year, and fans can’t wait to see what drama unfolds next.
With Emily caught between two cities and two men, and a big career move on the horizon, there’s no shortage of juicy storylines.
