Season 5 of Emily in Paris<\/em><\/a> pushed boundaries \u2014 and surprised audiences with some shocking onscreen twists.<\/p>\n

During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly<\/em>, director Andy Fleming<\/strong> broke down the biggest scenes from the newest season, which started streaming on Thursday, December 18. Since the most recent installment<\/a> took the characters from Paris to Rome to Venice, more scenes were filmed out of order than before.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s my job to remind the cast where we\u2019ve been, where they\u2019re coming from and where they\u2019re going. That\u2019s my responsibility,\u201d Fleming noted. \u201cWe shot a lot out of order for various reasons and it just makes more work for me. But all the scenes are so good.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Netflix series, which debuted in 2020, originally centered around Emily\u2019s (Lily Collins<\/strong>) move from the U.S. to France, and the challenges that come with that. Emily subsequently found herself caught in a love triangle (Lucas Bravo<\/strong>) between Gabriel and Alfie (Lucien Laviscount<\/strong>), but the situation changed significantly by the time season 5 came to an end.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSeason 5 of Emily in Paris featured an engagement, breakups and an update on Lucas Bravo\u2018s missing character Gabriel \u2014 but what about everyone else? Netflix released season 5 on Thursday, December 18, which picked up after Emily (Lily Collins) chose to explore a future with Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini) in Rome. Their professional and personal [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Emily and Gabriel\u2019s attempt to give their romance a chance ended as quickly as it started. She subsequently moved on with Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini<\/strong>) but that faced its ups and downs. Alfie, meanwhile, found an unexpected connection with Mindy (Ashley Park<\/strong>).<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201c[With the relationships on the show, I just look at each scene independently,\u201d Fleming explained. \u201cI\u2019m really trying to bring out the layers because all of their relationships are so complicated. What I\u2019m always trying to do is keep in mind where they\u2019ve been on the journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of kind of reacquainting everybody with the timeline of their relationships because it is complicated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe show really is about Emily\u2019s relationship with Paris. So she kind of has to discover what Paris means to her by going other places,\u201d Fleming shared. \u201cShe\u2019s always going to come back to Paris. But we did a lot in Italy. We did four episodes in Rome and then five in Paris and then one in Venice. So half of the season took place outside of France, which was kind of a lot for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emily found herself at a crossroads throughout the season.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s wondering if this is going to be her new life. Work is always a challenge but Rome is very much about romance,\u201d he continued. \u201cAlso, Marcello plays a big part in this season, and Eugenio is amazing. We gave him a lot more to do this season and he\u2019s really so good at it. He really stepped up massively and really dove into this character.\u201d<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be Emily in Paris without the main character\u2019s attire getting its own moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer look is very different than previous seasons. It isn\u2019t about one splashy look. It\u2019s about her dressing in a more sophisticated, more European way. She\u2019s trying to really feel herself and grow up a little bit emotionally \u2014 but also in terms of her the way she\u2019s dressing,\u201d Fleming noted. \u201cShe\u2019s having a Posh Spice moment and that\u2019s really what\u2019s happening. It looks good on her.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Emily in Paris was filming season 5, Rome was adjusting to the death of Pope Francis before Pope Leo XIV was chosen as his successor.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was amazing to be there when that was happening. We were there through the whole gamut. We were there when the previous Pope died when the conclave was formed, when he got elected and when he was consecrated as the new Pope,\u201d the executive producer recalled. \u201cWe were there \u2014 really there \u2014 for the whole process. It was amazing. So many people came to the city. It got very congested but Rome was already congested. It was much more exciting and interesting than any kind of problem for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say that was maybe the biggest challenge \u2014 the musical moment with Mindy singing \u2018Espresso\u2019 because with the boat, we shot that in one location. When she\u2019s stepping off the boat, we shot that in a second location. When she\u2019s walking into the party, that was a third location,\u201d Fleming shared. \u201cIt was a matter of choreographing that number. But we were shooting those three things on three different days in three different places. So it was there was a lot to keep track of.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was also the introduction of Bryan Greenberg<\/strong>\u2018s Jake a.k.a an American working at the Embassy in Paris. Emily got to celebrate the 4th of July in style \u2014 with a detour that resulted<\/a> in the pair strolling the aisles of their favorite American snacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were a lot of really cool people who read for that part but Bryan was just so funny and charming and had something quintessentially American,\u201d Fleming said. \u201cI toured the real American Embassy in France and saw things and I was inspired. We created our own and that market was our construction. It was a huge amount of work to get that many American products onto this little set. We built that set \u2014 I don\u2019t even know how many hundreds of products \u2014 but it took months and months of calling each company and getting something sent. The art department really outdid themselves in that scene. \u201d<\/p>\n
