Netflix Renews Emily in Paris, with a Twist

As a cinema devotee with a penchant for French flair and a soft spot for shows that defy critical expectations, I am absolutely thrilled about the renewal of Emily in Paris for Season 5! Having binge-watched every season during various lockdowns, I can attest to the irresistible charm this series exudes.


Four days following the release of the second half of “Emily in Paris” Season 4, Netflix confirmed that the popular show will continue with Season 5, featuring a fresh backdrop. The series stars Lily Collins as Emily Cooper, an ambitious marketing executive who relocates to Paris to offer an American perspective to a French marketing firm. The storyline primarily revolves around Emily adapting from her life in America to her new existence in France, forming friendships and romantic relationships in her adopted city. Darren Star, the creator of “Sex and the City,” is responsible for creating “Emily in Paris.” Since its debut on Netflix, it has been a major ratings success.

Netflix has officially confirmed that “Emily in Paris” will continue for Season 5, finding Emily in Rome after the events of Season 4. Lily Collins made the announcement on “Good Morning America”. The news about Season 5 was shared during Netflix’s Geeked Week, along with updates about several other popular shows and movies. A teaser for Season 5 on TUDUM shows Emily sitting on a rooftop terrace saying, “There’s no place like Rome.” Although Emily will be in a new city, the show will retain its original title, and it’s expected that Paris will still play a significant role in the series.

The series titled “Emily in Paris” premiered on Netflix on October 2, 2020, serving as a delightful and entertaining escape for viewers amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Although it wasn’t universally acclaimed by critics, it gained widespread popularity. The second season arrived on December 22, 2021, with the third season following suit on December 21, 2022. Much like “Bridgerton” and “Cobra Kai”, Netflix opted to divide the latest seasons of “Emily in Paris”, possibly to extend their subscriber base. The first half of Season 4 was released on August 15, 2024, with the second half becoming available on September 12, 2024.

In the initial four days of its release on Netflix, season 4 of “Emily in Paris” attracted a massive 9.9 million views, making it a Top 10 hit in 93 countries. It has maintained this position for four consecutive weeks. Given these impressive numbers, it’s clear that Netflix will likely continue with another season of the beloved series. While many Netflix shows typically falter after three seasons, some, like “Dead Boy Detectives,” fail to make it past the first, “Emily in Paris” has bucked this trend and remained a significant success for the streaming platform. As popular series such as “Cobra Kai” and “Stranger Things” approach their conclusion, Netflix is in need of reliable titles, and with its large viewership, “Emily in Paris” certainly fits the bill.
