Fans of the hit Netflix series Emily in Paris can finally mark their calendars, as the streaming giant has confirmed the exact release details for the show's highly anticipated fifth season. The new chapter arrives this week, promising a glamorous change of scenery for its lead character.
A Roman Holiday for Emily Cooper
The upcoming season will see marketing executive Emily Cooper, once again played by Lily Collins, expanding her horizons beyond the French capital. Show creator Darren Star has revealed that Emily will have a significant presence in Italy, exploring Roman ruins alongside her Parisian life. "From Parisian rooftops to Roman ruins, we can't wait to share where Emily's next chapter takes us," Star stated, emphasising that the move to Rome is temporary and Emily will not be leaving Paris for good.
According to the official Netflix synopsis, Emily now heads Agence Grateau's Rome office, facing fresh professional and romantic challenges. However, a work idea that backfires triggers a cascade of heartbreak and career setbacks. Seeking stability, she returns to her French lifestyle, only for a major secret to threaten a close friendship. The season promises stronger relationships and new clarity for the protagonist.
Full Season Drop and UK Release Time
Viewers will be pleased to know they won't have to wait for weekly episodes or a split season. All 10 episodes of Emily in Paris season five will be released at once. As a Netflix original, the show follows the platform's global release schedule.
The season will go live at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, December 18. For fans in the United Kingdom, this translates to 8:00 a.m. GMT on the same day. Subscribers can therefore binge the entire new season from breakfast time onwards.
Cast Changes and Previous Success
The core cast, including Lily Collins, is set to return. However, Camille Razat, who played Camille, will not be back following her character's dramatic pregnancy storyline in season four.
The series continues to be a major draw for Netflix. The fourth season, which premiered in August 2024, topped the Global Top 10 chart with 19.9 million views in its first four days, demonstrating the enduring popularity of Emily's adventures.
