The fifth season of Emily in Paris<\/em><\/a> will include many fan-favorites \u2014 but not everyone is returning for more episodes of the show.<\/p>\n

The Netflix series, which premiered in 2020, centers around Emily Cooper (Lily Collins<\/strong>) and her often hilarious attempts to find her footing in France after moving from the U.S. for a new job. Emily subsequently ends up caught in a love triangle<\/a> between Gabriel (Lucas Bravo<\/strong>) and Alfie (Lucien Laviscount<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Emily intentionally started season 4 by choosing Gabriel but it ended as quickly as it started. Emily ended the season by moving on with Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini<\/strong>) in Rome but it was Gabriel\u2019s future on the show that fans were worried about.<\/p>\n

Bravo raised eyebrows when he made comments<\/a> in October 2024 about how Gabriel\u2019s arc frustrated him in recent seasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u2018sexy chef\u2019 was very much part of me in season 1 and we grew apart season after season because of the choices he makes and because of the direction they make him take,\u201d Bravo told IndieWire<\/em>. \u201cI\u2019ve never been so far away from him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor said he felt Gabriel had \u201cslowly turned into guacamole<\/a>\u201d before making a dig about narrative \u201csouffles\u201d and a \u201clack of risk\u201d on screen.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn season 1, there was a lot of me in him. But as they made him kind of unaware of his surroundings, of the dynamic, always victimizing and always being completely lost in translation and oblivious to anything that is happening around him and being manipulated by everyone, it kind of became not fun for me to shoot,\u201d he noted. \u201cOr to see a character I love so much and brought me so much, being slowly turned into guacamole. I really grew apart from him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bravo even hinted at stepping away<\/a> from the series although he is reportedly expected to make appearances as usual. Keep scrolling to see which Emily in Paris<\/em> characters are returning \u2014 and which aren\u2019t \u2014 in season 5:\n<\/p>\n

Where would Emily in Paris (or Rome) be without Emily? Season 5 isn\u2019t the day we get the answer to that question because Collins is set to return in the titular role.<\/p>\n

Season 4 was coming to an end but Mindy\u2019s (Ashley Park<\/strong>) story was just getting started. During a visit to Rome, Mindy was presented with the opportunity to perform for a crowd. That led to a job offer which took Mindy away from Paris \u2014 before she was set to reunite with Emily in Italy. Park is expected to reprise the role of the fan-favorite character.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tNetflix (2); Netflix\/YouTube The fourth season of Emily in Paris ended on a surprising note for Emily \u2014 but what about the other characters? Netflix released the second part of season 4 on Thursday, September 12, which picked up after Emily (Lily Collins) and Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) decided to officially give their relationship a try. [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bravo will film scenes for season 5 when the show goes into production<\/a> in May 2025, according to Variety<\/em>. Gabriel\u2019s Michelin-rated restaurant is set to be one of the backdrops of the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

Camille<\/h3>\n

Stephanie Branchu\/Netflix<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Star remained tight-lipped about where Camille\u2019s story is going, telling TV Line<\/em> in September 2024, \u201cCharacters can come in and out of a series, but you don\u2019t necessarily have to see them. We may or may not. I don\u2019t know how much of Camille we\u2019ll see next season. But again, she\u2019s part of the world of the series. I\u2019m not sure how soon we\u2019ll see her, but it doesn\u2019t mean, again, that we won\u2019t be seeing her.\u201d<\/p>\n

In April 2025, Variety<\/em> reported that Razat would not be returning after being on the show for the past four seasons.<\/p>\n

Season 4 of Emily in Paris featured Laviscount in a smaller role when he went<\/a> from a series regular to recurring status due to scheduling issues. Luckily our nightmare is over because Laviscount made deal to rejoin as a series regular in season 5.<\/p>\n

Marcello<\/h3>\n

Since Emily ended season 4 with Marcello, it would only make sense for him to return. That doesn\u2019t mean Emily is destined to stay with the newcomer.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, we know a lot more about Gabriel than we do about Marcello,\u201d Star hinted to TVLine<\/em> in September 2024. \u201cI think Marcello is somebody Emily is just getting to know and has this infatuation with at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Genevieve<\/h3>\n

Besson was introduced in season 4 as Laurent G.\u2019s daughter from New York who is interested in Gabriel.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople come and go out of people\u2019s lives in shows for a period of time, but it doesn\u2019t mean that they\u2019re off the table,\u201d Star told Deadline<\/em> in September 2024 before elaborating on newcomer Genevieve\u2019s future on the show. \u201cI think there\u2019s a reason to sort of love and hate Genevieve, but I think they\u2019re very different characters. I think Camille and Gabrielle had a lot of history, but I think Genevieve just has her own agenda. She\u2019s really just, she\u2019s young, ambitious, and thinking about herself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tEmily in Paris season 4 just came to an end and fans received answers to some of their biggest questions about the show \u2014 including that love triangle. The Netflix series, which debuted in 2020, originally centered around Emily\u2019s move from the U.S. to France, and the challenges that come with that.

Sylvie\u2019s interest in Marcello\u2019s family business almost ruined Emily\u2019s personal relationship with him. According to Star, that is still a conversation that Sylvie and Emily need to have in a possible fifth season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that Sylvie has felt, just had a passion for getting this piece of business, even at the expense of Emily\u2019s personal life,\u201d he told Deadline<\/em>. \u201cAnd I think the story, you know, if we have a season five, I think it has some more twists and turns in it, this story, and I think that Sylvie has a lot of trust in Emily, but I also think that Sylvie acted pretty selfishly at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Emily moved away, her return to Paris is imminent \u2014 and so is her reunion with her work friend.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe didn\u2019t change her Instagram handle to Emily in Rome. She is working in Rome sometimes. Sylvie\u2019s company has an office in Rome. Emily\u2019s getting that on its feet,\u201d Star told Deadline<\/em>. \u201cI don\u2019t necessarily think that it means a permanent \u2014 in my mind, it\u2019s definitely not a permanent \u2014 move to Rome. We\u2019re not leaving Paris.\u201d<\/p>\n
