Emily In Paris returns after a mid (average) season 4, this time revamped as Emily In Rome season 5. The recently released teaser of the series suggests that her romance with Marcello from season 4 will peak in Emily In Rome (season 5). Not just that, Emily's best friend Mindy has also returned to the show.
Moving from LA to exploring Paris to the core, Emily's journey has now shifted to Rome. Lily Collins, who plays the lead role of Emily, continues her romance with Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini). Although set in Rome, there are some things we witnessed in Emily In Paris that continue with the Roman exploration, too. This includes Emily reuniting with her best friend Mindy (Ashley Park). Thus, you know that the story is not limited to romance but also to deep friendship. It is about Emily and Mindy's journey through the Capital of Italy.
Emily In Rome introduces Minnie Driver as Princess Jane, with Sylvie Grateau (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) and Julien (Samuel Arnold) returning from Emily In Paris. Most of the cast from Emily In Paris, including Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Bruno Gouery (Luc), William Abadie (Antoine Lambert), Lucien Laviscount (Alfie), Thalia Besson (Genevieve), Paul Forman (Nico), Arnaud Binard (Laurent G), Bryan Greenberg (Jake), and Michèle Laroque (Yvette) has returned for this season. No wonder Julien jokes, "If we are all here, who's in Paris?"
Now that Emily has explored both Paris and Rome, it wouldn't be surprising to see her explore more places, especially around Europe. The makers have, in fact, hinted at the same happening. However, the response to Emily In Rome season 5 would play a critical part in knowing whether what was once a beloved series has more potential to expand or not.
Emily In Rome season 5 is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on December 18.
