Netflix has officially announced that Emily in Paris Season 5 will premiere on December 18. The hit romantic comedy series starring Lily Collins is returning with a brand-new chapter that takes Emily Cooper out of Paris and into Italy. The streamer unveiled first-look photos on Wednesday, August 20, giving fans a glimpse of Emily’s new journey.

Sharing the images on social media, Netflix wrote: “Benvenuto! The first look images from Emily in Paris are here, and they’re serving up a slice of la dolce vita! Season 5 returns on December 18.”

The new season follows Emily as she leaves Paris to set up a fresh office for Agence Grateau in Rome. The official description promises plenty of ups and downs, revealing that “work idea backfires, fallout cascades into heartbreak and career setbacks,” with a “big secret” threatening one of her closest relationships.

Emily in Paris Season 5 first look teases Italy romance and drama

The first-look images showcase Emily embracing Italian culture, from sailing on a boat in a chic polka-dot outfit to soaking up the sun and even horseback riding with Marcello, played by Eugenio Franceschini. The photos hint at a growing romance between Emily and Marcello, while also teasing the return of her former love interests, Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and Alfie (Lucien Laviscount). This keeps the show’s long-running romantic tension alive.

Season 4 ended with Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) promoting Emily to head the Rome office of Agence Grateau. While Emily appeared happy with Marcello, Gabriel realised he still had feelings for her, setting the stage for a complicated love triangle in the upcoming season.
