Emily Cooper is swapping croissants for cannolis. The fifth season of Emily in Paris is officially taking our favorite chaos-loving marketing queen to Rome, and fans are already buzzing about this chic Italian detour. Here’s everything we know so far about her Roman holiday.
Emily in Paris Season 5 hits Netflix on December 18, 2025, with all ten episodes dropping in one binge-worthy batch. The show’s creators call it a “tale of two cities” — half Paris, half Rome — but don’t panic, the title isn’t changing. Emily may be boarding a Vespa, but Emily in Rome just doesn’t have the same ring.
Why Emily’s in Rome This Time
Season 4 ended with Emily accepting a major career move — running the Rome branch of Agence Grateau, her fashion-focused PR firm. The new season picks up right where she left off: new city, new language struggles, same over-the-top wardrobe.
According to Netflix’s official synopsis, Emily faces “professional and romantic challenges as she adapts to life in a new city.” Translation: she’ll probably win a client, ruin a relationship, and wear something fabulous while doing it.
The Love, Chaos, and Marcello
Yes, the Gabriel vs. Alfie triangle still haunts her, but there’s another Italian in the mix — Marcello, played by Eugenio Franceschini. He made his charming debut in Season 4, and now he’s back for more pasta-flavored romance.
Ah, I know you guys are so over Gabriel. But, honestly, can you imagine it is Emily in Paris and no Gabriel? Ah, no.
Fans are guessing whether Emily will finally commit to someone or continue her tradition of choosing chaos. Creator Darren Star already teased that “happily ever after” isn’t his style — so expect heartbreak, healing, and another jaw-dropping cliffhanger.
Filming in the Eternal City
Season 5 started filming in Rome in May 2025, with scenes shot near the Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, and the Trastevere district. Later, production returned to Paris, and even made a brief stop in Venice. Translation: we’re about to get double the eye candy — Parisian rooftops and Roman ruins.
If you spot Lily Collins on a Vespa in designer heels, just know she’s living the dream we all want.
Fashion Takes a Roman Turn
Emily’s wardrobe evolves yet again. She’s said to debut an “Italian bob” haircut early in the season before switching back to her iconic French chic later. Expect a mix of Roman elegance — think bold reds and golds — with her signature Emily chaos: glitter, patterns, and enough accessories to fill the Colosseum.
Conclusion: What to Expect
This season leans slightly deeper. Behind the humor and couture, Emily will juggle career roadblocks, culture shocks, and friendships tested by distance. Still, Emily in Paris isn’t losing its sparkle — just adding more sunshine and a lot more gelato.
The verdict? Season 5 promises the perfect mix of romance, reinvention, and Rome. Whether you tune in for the fashion, the drama, or just to yell “Emily, why?!” at your screen — the upcoming season looks like another guilty pleasure you won’t want to skip.
