The Season 5 announcement featured a teaser of Emily sitting on rooftop terrace in Rome as she sipped on an espresso, saying, “There’s no place like Rome”, with a wink.
The show’s creator Darren Star confirmed to Deadline last week that the Rome connection is set to continue in Season 5.
“She didn’t change her Instagram handle to Emily in Rome. She is working in Rome sometimes. Sylvie’s company has an office in Rome. Emily’s getting that on its feet,” he said in a Q&A about Season 4B. “I don’t necessarily think that it means a permanent — in my mind, it’s definitely not a permanent — move to Rome. We’re not leaving Paris.”
Talking about the upcoming Season 5 on Good Morning America, Collins said she was looking forward to seeing what happens between her character and her fashion exec love interest, Marcello, played by Eugenio Franceschini.
“Marcello is a whole other adventure that we want for Emily because we ultimately want Emily to be able to have a better work/life balance,” she said. “We want to have Emily be able to smile without condition. We want to see her beyond her vacay mode. And he comes at that perfect time.”
Season 4 of Emily in Paris made its debut on August 12 in the number one slot in the Netflix Global Top 10 with 19.9M views in its first four days on release, reaching the Top 10 in 93 countries, according to the platform.
