What do you think the answer to this headline is? Season four of Netflix’s hit show Emily In Paris left us on yet another cliff-hanger as the American marketing executive found herself with a new job, and new love interest, in Rome.
But just when we thought Emily and her French ex Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) were done for good, the door to this romance was kept ajar (again) as the latter vowed to race to Italy to tell Emily he’s in love with her. So, of course, the answer to the above is complicated but Emily In Paris will return for a fifth season.
Star of the show, Lily Collins, 35, broke the good news on ABC’s Good Morning America on September 16.
“For the first time I get to talk about the fact that there will be a season five,” she ecstatically revealed. “[The cast] all just found out ourselves so this is brand new information for everyone. I’m really hoping for season five we get to explore more of Italy.”
“Emily’s going to have a presence in Rome,” said creator and producer Darren Star. “It doesn’t mean she’s not going to be in Paris, but she’s going to have a presence in Rome.”
Season four saw newly-single Emily score a new role heading up her French marketing agency in Rome, and start a thing with new beau and Italian fashion executive Marcello Muratori (Eugenio Franceschine).
“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,” said Lily Collins. “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.”
Collins took to her Instagram soon-after the announcement to cement the news.
“There’s no place like Rome,” she wrote next to a reel of her sipping an espresso.
More to come.
