Some people move abroad and find themselves. Emily Cooper collects new cities like accessories, hoping the rest will sort itself out. In the latest trailer for season five of “Emily in Paris,” the American-in-Paris fantasy gets a Roman sequel, as Emily decamps to Italy for a fresh promotion, fresh chaos, and the inevitable tug back to the life she left behind. The fifth season of the Lily Collins comedy drops all 10 episodes on December 18 on Netflix.

Now the head of Agence Grateau’s Rome office, Emily is out of croissants and into cappuccinos, trying to prove she’s more than a viral marketing mascot. According to the official synopsis, season five finds her facing “professional and romantic challenges as she adapts to life in a new city,” only for a big work idea to backfire, triggering heartbreak and serious career fallout spectacularly. In classic Emily fashion, she leans harder into her European reinvention just as a “big secret” threatens one of her closest relationships.
The trailer sets up a push-pull between Rome and Paris: the fantasy of a clean slate versus the unresolved mess she left behind. The season promises more office turf wars, romantic entanglements, and a slightly more self-aware Emily who has to tackle conflict “with honesty” instead of hiding behind a campaign pitch.
Returning alongside Collins are Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie Grateau), Ashley Park (Mindy Chen), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc), William Abadie (Antoine Lambert), Lucien Laviscount (Alfie), Eugenio Franceschini (Marcello), Thalia Besson (Genevieve), Paul Forman (Nico), Arnaud Binard (Laurent G), Minnie Driver (Princess Jane), Bryan Greenberg (Jake), and Michèle Laroque (Yvette).
Created by Darren Star and produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, Darren Star Productions, and Jax Media, season five looks like a classic late-series pivot: same couture, same farce, but a heroine who might finally have to decide what she actually wants — and where she wants to be when the dust (and glitter) settles.
“Emily In Paris” premieres December 18 on Netflix. Watch the new trailer below.
