AceShowbiz - Netflix has extended Emily's visa, announcing the renewal of "Emily in Paris" for a fifth season. A celebratory video featured series star Lily Collins sipping espresso and revealing the number "5" on the bottom of the cup while overlooking Italy.
The announcement came shortly after the debut of Season 4 Part 2 on September 12. Season 4 of "Emily in Paris," a fashion-forward and meme-generating comedy, debuted at No. 1 on Netflix Global Top 10 with 19.9 million views in its first four days. It remained on the chart for four consecutive weeks.
In the latest season, Emily navigates romantic entanglements with both Gabriel and Alfie. However, the synopsis teases "new complications" and a potential new love interest in a new city. The last few episodes see Emily traveling to Rome to pursue a crush, Marcello Muratori, an Italian businessman with connections to her boss Sylvie's marketing firm.
Returning cast members in Season 4 include Ashley Park, Camille Razat, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, and William Abadie. Thalia Besson joined the cast as Sylvie's stepdaughter, Genevieve.
Darren Star created the series, and Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns, Andrew Fleming, Alison Brown, and Robin Schiff serve as executive producers. Stephen Brown, Grant Sloss, and Joe Murphy are co-executive producers. Collins produces alongside Ryan McCormick, Raphaël Benoliel, and Jake Fuller.
Netflix has confirmed that the Rome connection will continue in Season 5. Creator Darren Star hinted at an expanded role for Marcello, saying, "We want Emily to smile without condition... And he comes at that perfect time."
Lily Collins expressed excitement for the upcoming season, stating, "We want Emily to be able to have a better work/life balance" and "see her beyond her vacay mode."
