Emily in Paris has become one of Netflix’s most iconic romantic comedies in recent years. Created by Darren Star, the show follows Emily Cooper, an ambitious American marketing executive from Chicago who unexpectedly lands a job in Paris. Known for its stunning fashion, dramatic love triangles, and scenic European backdrops, the show has gained both fans and critics—some calling it “charming escapism,” others seeing it as “glamorous cliché.” Still, it continues to draw global attention.
In the previous seasons, we saw Emily balancing her career at Savoir (and later Agence Grateau), navigating complicated friendships, and of course, falling in and out of love. Her tangled romantic journey with chef Gabriel, his ex Camille, and charming Brit Alfie made for some of the show’s most emotional—and controversial—moments.
By the end of Season 4, Emily found herself at yet another crossroads. Gabriel’s feelings linger, Camille has moved on, and Emily is now involved with Marcello, a wealthy Italian who offers her both love and luxury. Meanwhile, Emily’s career is evolving quickly. She’s being offered a major opportunity to lead Agence Grateau’s Rome office, forcing her to choose between the life she’s built in Paris and a thrilling new path abroad.
In a possible Season 5, we could imagine Emily moving temporarily to Rome. The new setting would give the show a chance to refresh its look and narrative while maintaining the fashion and romance that define its identity. Imagine Emily navigating Italian social circles, forming new rivalries in the Roman fashion world, and confronting temptations that challenge her loyalty to both her job and her heart.
Gabriel, realizing he may lose Emily forever, might follow her to Rome—adding even more romantic drama to the mix. Alfie could return with a surprise twist: maybe he's now dating someone in Emily’s new workplace, creating unexpected tension. And of course, Paris would still be present through video calls, fashion campaigns, and occasional weekend visits—reminding viewers where Emily’s heart truly belongs.
Whether you see it as a guilty pleasure or a sparkling fantasy, Emily in Paris has captured a unique space in pop culture. Its bold outfits, romantic storytelling, and dreamy locations provide a welcome escape from reality. If a new season takes Emily to Rome, it could mark an exciting evolution for the show—balancing old charm with fresh intrigue. Wherever Emily goes next, we’ll be watching—with a croissant (or cannoli) in hand.
