Actor Rupert Everett had high hopes for his role in the Netflix series Emily in Paris. Unfortunately, the opportunity was not what he had been expecting, leading to a feeling of severe disappointment that Everett had big trouble working through.

Everett joined the show in the Season 4 Part 2 finale, "All Roads Lead to Rome." He played Giorgio Barbieri, a longtime friend and former lover of Sylvie Grateau. The role was memorable, but Everett was not called to return for Season 5. Per Vanity Fair, Everett said he was "fired" from the show in a new interview, claiming he'd been told to wait for a call that never actually came.

Filming in Rome has begun, as captured by Netflix. A shoot will take place in August in...

Netflix has confirmed that Emily in Paris will relocate to Venice for a ten-day shoot from 5–15 August, marking the first time the romantic-comedy series has filmed in the lagoon city. The Veneto region granted permits after Governor Luca Zaia hailed the production as “a showcase for our cultural heritage” and predicted a tourism boost despite peak-season crowds. Cameras are expected to capture the Rialto Bridge, Piazza San Marco and sections of the Grand Canal, with nighttime closures planned to minimise disruption to vaporetto service.

The move south follows a May shooting block in Rome that introduced Italian fashion heir Marcello, played by Eugenio Franceschini, as Emily Cooper’s new love interest while she oversees Agence Grateau’s fledgling Rome office. Series lead Lily Collins will reunite with Lucas Bravo and Ashley Park, but Camille Razat will not return after her character’s season-four departure. Creator Darren Star has hinted that...

After Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s opulent, star-studded wedding in June, A-list celebs will be hitting Venice again in August for the shoot of Netflix show Emily in Paris.

Venice mayor Luca Zaia confirmed the news on social media over the weekend revealing that the show will shoot in the lagoon city’s historic center from August 15 to 25, wrapping just two days before the Venice Film Festival kicks off across the water on the Venice Lido on August 27.

“The extraordinary news confirms that our territory is increasingly attractive to big audiovisual productions, thanks to its unique heritage and the teamwork between institutions and professionals in the sector,” Zaia wrote in his post.

He saluted the Veneto Film Commission as well as local production company 360 Degrees Film for their work in location scouting with series director Andrew Fleming and helping to secure Venice as a spot as a location.

Bryan Greenberg has been featured in many projects since his career began in 1997, appearing in titles such as Bride Wars, Friends with Benefits, and Emperor of Ocean Park, just to name a few, before landing a major role in the Suits spin-off, Suits LA, as Rick Dodsen. Unfortunately, the legal drama spin-off has its life cut short, but that doesn't mean it's the end of the road for the American actor. Greenberg has received a second chance to appear on screens once more, as it was reported that he's set to star in Netflix's Emily in Paris, and details about his role have been revealed.

Greenberg is set to play Jake, described as "an American living in Paris," and will be a recurring character in the show. Also joining him is French actress Michèle Laroque (Good Will Hunting), who's set to play Yvette, who's an old friend of Sylvie’s.

Two months after the cancellation of Suits LA, one of its stars has landed a major role. Led by Arrow star Stephen Amell, with original series creator Aaron Korsh returning to spearhead the spinoff, Suits LA turned its attention to the world of entertainment law and put former prosecutor Ted Black right at the center of the action.

Amell was joined by Lex Scott Davis, Bryan Greenberg, Maggie Grace, Tim Winbush, Alice Lee, and Azita Ghanizada, but the new focus and the overall new characters did not continue the revived momentum that the original found on streaming. Suits LA season 2 was axed by NBC in May, owing to the legal drama's weak ratings and the network's shifting priorities.

Deadline confirms that Bryan Greenberg has joined Emily in Paris season 5. The actor, who played Rick Dodsen on the Suits spinoff, will play the recurring role of Jake in the hit Netflix romantic dramedy.

With filming of “Emily in Paris” season 5 now underway in France, Netflix has added a couple of new names to the cast of its hit show.

Bryan Greenberg, best known for “How to Make it in LA” and “The Mindy Project” and most recently seen in “Suits LA,” has joined the ongoing Parisian party and will play Jake, an American living in the French capital. Meanwhile, Michèle Laroque, a well-known and Cesar-nominated French actress and comedian known for films such as “Ma vie en Rose,” “Brillantissime” and “The Closet” will play Yvette, an old friend of Sylvie Grateau.

Greenberg and Laroque join fellow “Emily in Paris” newcomer Minnie Driver, who Variety announced has been cast in May and is set to play the royal Princess Jane.

Additional returning cast include Paul Forman (playing Nico), Arnaud Binard (Laurent G), alongside the previously confirmed Lily Collins (Emily Cooper), Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie), Ashley Park...

Lily Collins’ Emily will meet a fellow American expat in the upcoming fifth season of Netflix’s hit comedy Emily In Paris. Bryan Greenberg (Suits LA) has joined the cast as recurring, playing Jake, an American living in Paris. Also set to recur in Season 5 is French actress Michèle Laroque (Better Days) who will play Yvette, an old friend of Sylvie’s (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu). Jake and Yvette are two of the three known new recurring characters that will be introduced next season, along with previously announced Princess Jane, played by Minnie Driver.

Additionally, confirmed to return for Season 5 are Paul Forman, who has been recurring since Season 3 as businessman, heir and Mindy’s love interest Nico, as well as Arnaud Binard, who has recurred since Season 2 as Sylvie’s husband Laurent G.

Nico’s return is particularly noteworthy given his painful breakup with Mindy (Ashley Park) at the end of Season 4, which left her heartbroken.

Gas up your Vespa and grab your helmet: Lily Collins has landed in Rome for Emily Cooper’s next chapter, and this time, it’s in Italy. That’s right, Emily in Paris Season 5 production has officially started — see for yourself below, in a selfie Collins shared on Instagram. And check out a video of Collins and co-star Eugenio Franceschini, who plays Italian beau Marcello, on the first day of filming in the Eternal City. Don’t worry — it doesn’t mean the American expat is finished with France, as production will move back to Paris later this summer.

“The cast and crew of Emily in Paris are thrilled to begin filming Season 5 in the Eternal City,” creator Darren Star says about the next chapter of the series, which is set to premiere later in 2025. “From Parisian rooftops to Roman ruins, we can’t wait to share where Emily’s...

One of the worst feelings is getting invested in a television show only for it to get canceled well before its prime, leaving piles and piles of loose ends, countless cliffhangers, and unresolved plots. There are several variables for why television shows or series are canceled, from low viewership numbers to high filming costs.

While we do not know for certain if the following Netflix shows will be canceled this year, the chances, in our opinion, seem rather high. Some on our list may surprise you, but if there's one thing we know for certain about television show endings, they are often unexpected.

Emily In Paris creator and executive producer Darren Star opened up to Deadline about the upcoming cast changes in season 5 of the Netflix show. Despite negative comments about his time on the show and the direction the writers were taking, Lucas Bravo is returning. Star promises his frustration at playing Gabriel was just a “misunderstanding.”

Bravo declared himself “frustrated” with Emily in Paris and that playing Gabriel was “not fun anymore” as the character was “being slowly turned into guacamole.” In a scathing interview, he made numerous disparaging comments about the writers and his character in the show.

“I think the latter, just a misunderstanding,” Star clarified in the recent interview. “I think he never intended not to come back.” So, looks like there are no hard feelings between the actor and the creator, well at least not in the public eye.

Lucas Bravo’s problem with playing Gabriel in...

Emily in Paris season 5 is currently filming, and the actress who portrayed the Netflix hit show's first-ever villain will be back in the new season. Emily in Paris season 4 upended Emily Cooper's (Lily Collins) status quo by moving her to Rome to head up Agence Grateau's new Italian office. Emily in Paris season 5 began filming in Rome before moving production back to France.

Varietyreports that Thalia Besson, who played "sexy and deceitful antagonist Geneviève" in Emily in Paris season 4, is confirmed to return for season 5. According to Variety, Emily Cooper’s new Italian love interest, Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini), as well as her ex-boyfriends, Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and Alfie (Lucien Laviscount) will also return, while another male character will join Emily in Paris season 5. Not returning, however, is Camille Razat, who played Camille in Emily in Paris seasons 1-4.

What Thalia Besson's Geneviève Returning Means For Emily In Paris Season...

It’s official — Thalia Besson has closed her deal to reprise the role of Genevieve on the upcoming fifth season of Netflix’s popular comedy series Emily In Paris. Once again, she will be recurring, sources said.

Besson is the second Season 4 new cast addition that is coming back for more, along with Eugenio Franceschini as Emily’s (Lily Collins) new love interest Marcello.

Genevieve is the second American character currently on the show, created and executive produced by Darren Star, alongside Emily. She was introduced as Laurent’s daughter born out of wedlock and Sylvie’s stepdaughter who had been raised in the U.S.. Genevieve came to visit looking for a job in Paris and was brought by Sylvie into her Agence Grateau where Emily took her under her win to mentor her. However, the ambitious Genevieve had her own motives, and she also went after Gabriel (Lucas Bravo...

In case you hadn't heard the exciting news, Emily's officially back in Paris and hard at work filming the new season of her misadventures in love and life. Emily in Paris season 5 began filming in Rome in early May 2025 before making it back to Paris for the remainder of production. Let's not read too far into what it means that Emily has returned to Paris before we see what happens.

But we might be able to read as far as we'd like into recent comments shared by Emily in Paris creator Darren Star, in which he teases what to expect for Emily's love life in season 5. Even though she finally seems happy and settled in a healthy relationship with Marcello at the end of season 4, it looks like our girl just can't avoid a bit of mess what it comes to romance.

Star spoke with Deadline in a new interview...

Like his heroine, Emily In Paris creator/executive producer Darren Star is currently in Paris, working on the upcoming fifth season of his hit Netflix comedy series starring Lily Collins.

During an interview about the Netflix success of his previous series, Younger, Star provided an update on Emily In Paris.

“I think we’ve got a really terrific season coming up,” he said. “We filmed in Rome for the first four weeks, and that was an exciting experience to be there. Now we’re back in Paris, Emily is definitely back in Paris.”

Netflix announced in April that production on Season 5 would start in May — first in Rome and then in Paris — for a 2025 premiere. The streamer at the time also confirmed returning cast for the new installment, which includes Season 4 series regulars Collins (Emily Cooper), Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie Grateau), Ashley Park (Mindy Chen), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Samuel Arnold (Julien...

Emily’s not done with Paris — or Rome — just yet. Netflix has officially renewed Emily in Paris for a fifth season, and oui, fans are already plotting their next fashionable binge. The production kicked off in May 2025, starting in Rome before circling back to Emily’s home turf, Paris. So while the release date hasn’t dropped, all signs point to a late 2025 or early 2026 premiere.

Creator Darren Star cleared (Via Deadline) the air: “She didn’t change her Instagram handle to Emily in Rome.” Instead, Emily in Paris Season 5 is embracing a cross-continental vibe. After Season 4 closed with Emily zipping through Rome on a Vespa with Marcello to the tune of Close To You by Gracie Abrams, fans knew the next season would bring Italian heat. But don’t worry — Emily’s iconic Parisian chaos isn’t disappearing. She...

It’s been almost two years since I reviewed the earlier seasons of this light, charming Italian murder mystery series, “Makari,” set in sunny Sicily. I encourage you to read the prior reviews to refresh your memory (as did I), to better understand the players and relationships for this third season. Here’s the link to that review: https://www.wearemoviegeeks.com/2023/07/makari-season-2-tv-series-review/.

This round includes four separate cases, with some significant story arcs running throughout. The episodes are a bit longer than before – each about 2 hours – but the light tenor of the series continues. Peppe helps Saverio with everything, while providing the rest of us with the comic relief of his clumsy, overly-friendly puppy personality.

This year, Saverio is enjoying some success as a novelist, leading to his being offered a guest teaching position at a nearby school.

Just as cameras started rolling on Emily in Paris season 5, the Netflix series also got its first exciting bit of casting news! An Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Emmy Award-nominated actress has officially joined the cast of the romantic comedy's upcoming season, and it's a role that's definitely a first for the show! How has there never been a royal character before now?

As revealed by Netflix and exclusively reported by Variety, Minnie Driver will co-star in Emily in Paris season 5 as Princess Jane. The Good Will Hunting and The Riches star plays Sylvie's friend, though if she's an old friend or a recent friend (or even a frenemy), we're not sure yet. All that we know about Princess Jane so far is that she married into a royal family. Ooh la la!

Lights, camera, royalty. Minnie Driver, the Oscar-nominated star of Good Will Hunting, is stepping into the chic world of Emily in Paris Season 5 as Princess Jane, a glamorous friend of Sylvie who married into a royal family. Announced on May 14, 2025, Driver’s magnetic charm promises to sprinkle some Hollywood sparkle onto Netflix’s frothy rom-com.

With behind-the-scenes photos from Rome showing her alongside Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu and Raoul Bova, it’s clear Driver is ready to steal scenes and elevate the show’s signature mix of drama, fashion, and fun.

Lily Collins and her husband Charlie McDowell look stylish while at a tennis match!

The 36-year-old actress and the 41-year-old director stepped out on Saturday (May 10) while attending the International Tennis Championships in Rome, Italy. There, they held hands while Lily wore a classy tweed blazer and a Chanel purse.

If you didn’t know, Lily and Charlie got married back in 2021, and welcomed their first child via surrogate this January. Shortly after their daughter Tove was born, Charlie responded to criticisms he and Lily faced for using a surrogate.

It turns out that Emily— as in Lily Collins' titular character in Netflix's Emily in Paris — is not in the French capital, but rather, she has taken a detour to Rome after finding herself falling for an Italian man, Eugenio Franceschini's Marcello, at the end of the fourth season of the rom-com drama created by Darren Star. The only problem is that Season 5's production start date coincided with the first day of the conclave to elect the successor of the late Pope Francis, with the assembly taking place inside the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican in Rome.

Collins took to Instagram to post a photo of herself on a Vespa to announce the first day of filming on Emily in Paris Season 5 on May 7, which just so happened to coincide with the first day of the conclave. "Lights, Camera, Amore – Emily in Paris Season 5 is now in production!

Meanwhile, its fifth season is also slated to arrive and fans are excited for what new twists and romances are in store.

The rom-com stars Lily Collins as Emily Cooper, the main character. And even though most of the show was set in Paris, as the name suggests, the fifth season will see Emily in Rome. Here’s which characters are expected to return for the fifth season as it focuses on love, fashion, bonds and more.

We hope you’re sitting down, Emily in Paris fans.

On April 17, multiple entertainment news outlets reported that a major character will Not return for Emily in Paris Season 5.

One of Emily’s many love interests, you may be assuming?

Nope. You know what they say about people who assume, right?

Emily in Paris characters cheers to their future. (Netflix)

Instead, we can confirm that Camille Razat — who has portrayed the popular show’s main villain almost since the beginning of its run — will not be part of the upcoming cast.

Razat has played Emily’s friend and Gabriel’s ex-girlfriend, Cami, for the duration of the comedy’s run on Netflix.

On Season 4, Cami juggled a relationship with girlfriend Sofia … while pregnant with her ex-boyfriend Gabriel’s baby.

However, the pregnancy turned out to be a false positive.

Lily Collins is heading back to Paris and Rome this summer.

Season five of Netflix’s hit show, Emily in Paris, is set to begin production in May, filming in Rome first before moving back to Paris later this summer.

Series regulars Collins (Emily Cooper), 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), Thalia Besson (Genevieve) and Eugenio Franceschini (Marcello) will all reprise their roles.

One former castmember notably missing from the list is Camille Razat, who played Camille in the first four seasons. However, it’s not a total surprise, as her character (spoiler!) left Paris at the end of season four after faking her pregnancy with Gabriel.

On the other hand, Bravo’s return as Gabriel may be a bit shocking, as he previously expressed that he’s been “frustrated with the direction my character is taking,...

There's some exciting news about Emily in Paris season 5 that will have fans exclaiming, "Oui, oui!" Well, depending on how you feel about a certain character who has now been revealed to be departing the series, at least in a series regular capacity. As first reported by Deadline, Camille Razat won't be back in season 5 as her trouble-making character Camille.

As much as we'll miss seeing the super-talented Razat in the series, we can't lie that the character Camille had run her course after four seasons. By the end of the fourth season, she had basically become a constant plot device meant to stir the pot and cause frustrations for Emily and Gabriel. There wasn't much left to do with her character to keep her in this world.

Camille lied to Gabriel about her pregnancy even after discovering that she was never pregnant. While she and Emily managed to bury...

The fifth season of Emily in Pariswon't feature a character audiences have come to know and love since the beginning of the series. Camille (Camille Razat) hasn't always been a good friend to the protagonist of the story. However, regardless of what happened between the two young women, it has been confirmed that Camille Razat won't reprise her role in the next installment of the series. Most of the cast members who were present during the fourth season of Emily in Paris will be back for even more shocking plot twists in the city of love. Unfortunately, fans of Camille will have to say goodbye to their beloved champagne heiress.

Netflix is quickly working on the development of the fifth season of Emily in Paris. It's been a few months since the fourth installment of the show came to a close, but fans are already excited to see what's next...

After raising some questions about returning to “Emily in Paris,” star Lucas Bravo is confirmed to reprise his role as Gabriel in the Netflix series for Season 5 after all.

Bravo is among the confirmed returning cast for Season 5, alongside Lily Collins as Emily Cooper, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie Grateau, Ashley Park as Mindy Chen, Samuel Arnold as Julien, Bruno Gouery as Luc, William Abadie as Antoine Lambert, Lucien Laviscount as Alfie and Eugenio Franceschini as Marcello.

Notably not returning is Camille Razat, who played Camille in the first four seasons. In Season 4, Camille confessed to Gabriel she discovered she wasn’t pregnant and asked him to adopt a child with her, but when he rejected the offer she decided to pursue becoming a mother alone.

Season 5 of “Emily in Paris” is set to begin production this May in Rome, Italy, before filming on the series moves back to its home base in Paris,...

There’s some big Emily in Paris news!

As we already knew, production on the new season will kick off beginning in May.

Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie Grateau), Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc), William Abadie (Antoine Lambert), and Ashley Park (Mindy Chen) will all return.

Camille Razat – Not Returning

Camille Razat,...

Lily Collins’ Emily Cooper will be living the dolce vita in Rome with her Italian beau Marcello in the much-anticipated fifth season of Netflix’s “Emily in Paris.” Or at least some of it. The new season of hit romantic comedy created by Darren Star will kick off production this May in Rome before moving to Paris later in the summer.

Slated to premiere later this year on Netflix, Season 5 is expected to give Emily (Lily Collins) an embarrassment of riches when it comes to her love life, bringing back her two one-and-off boyfriends, the sexy French chef, Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and dashing Brit, Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), alongside her new Italian love interest, Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini).

While the production will be partly set in Rome, the key French cast will also return, notably Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu who plays Collins’ chic and nonchalant boss Sylvie Grateau, Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc...

An original Emily In Paris cast member is leaving but it may not be who you thunk as all three of Emily’s (Lily Collins) romantic interests will be back next season. That includes Og flame Gabriel, played by Lucas Bravo, following months of speculation whether the actor will continue on the show.

Announcing a May start of production on Season 5 — first in Rome and then in Paris — for a 2025 premiere, Netflix has confirmed returning cast for the new installment. It includes Season 3 series regulars Lily Collins (Emily Cooper), Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie Grateau), Ashley Park (Mindy Chen), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc) and William Abadie (Antoine Lambert) as well as Lucien Laviscount as Emily’s former boyfriend Alfie, who, as Deadline reported in January, will be back full-time next season, and Eugenio Franceschini (Marcello) who was introduced in Season 4 as new recurring character. No word yet...

Emily in Paris star Ashley Park has shared a teasing update on the status of Season 5. Created by Darren Star and starring Lily Collins as an up-and-coming marketing executive, Emily Cooper, Emily in Paris has cemented its place as one of the best guilty-pleasure shows on TV. The show scored a Season 5 renewal last year, as first revealed by Collins via Good Morning America, before an official confirmation from Star on Netflix's Tudum. Teasing what's to come in the next chapter, Star said, “We’re thrilled with the incredible response to this season of Emily in Paris and excited to return for a fifth season to continue Emily’s adventures in Rome and Paris! Emily’s going to have a presence in Rome. It doesn’t mean she’s not going to be in Paris, but she’s going to have a presence in Rome.”

Park’s update marks...

If you have been missing Emily in Paris and have been feeding your craving by watching Younger on Netflix, or any of the other romantic comedy series like Younger that we recommended, your ancillary binge-watches will eventually lead to Emily's return later this year. Netflix has officially confirmed that Emily in Paris season 5 will be released sometime in 2025!

The streaming service made the announcement in late January 2025 with the reveal of its 2025 programming slate, which included a number of fan-favorite Netflix original series like Stranger Things, Nobody Wants This, The Diplomat, Squid Game, and many more. Most of the series didn't receive release dates but were confirmed to drop at some point in 2025.

Emily in Paris season 5 hasn't yet started production as of February 2025. Back in November 2024, shortly after the release of season 4 part 2 in September, Variety shared that filming on season 5 would begin in May 2025, during the first week of the month.

Even though Younger was a fan-favorite hit during its inital seven-season run, the series has kicked off 2025 by having a major resurgence. On Jan. 7, the TV Land original romantic comedy series from creator Darren Star was added to Netflix and popped. As of Feb. 6, the show remains in the top 10 alongside recent new seasons of hit Netflix originals The Night Agent and The Recruit.

It's the most recent library series to come to Netflix and experience the "Netflix effect," which simply means that new viewers are discovering the series and old viewers are rediscovering the series. Celebrating its 10th anniversary in March 2025, Younger originally aired between 2015 and 2021 and effectively filled a gap for actually good guilty pleasure programming we'd been missing.

While your Netflix (re)binge-watch of Younger might be nearing its end, you're likely wondering what show to add to your watch list to keep the good times rolling.

“Paris is always a good idea,” said Audrey Hepburn in Billy Wilder’s 1954 flick Sabrina, but let’s be real—Emily in Paris has taken that idea and turned it into a Netflix cocktail that’s part chaos, part glamour, and entirely addictive. It’s like you’ve had the most delicious glass of rosé and now you’re scrambling to catch up with all the drama, romance, and French clichés that somehow feel like a breath of fresh air.

From the moment Emily arrives in the City of Lights, she dives headfirst into a pool of glitter, lattes, love triangles, and picture-perfect disasters that are just begging to be shared on Instagram.

We’re talking about a show that turned basic wardrobe envy into an art form, paired with so many romantic entanglements, that you need a spreadsheet to keep track.

Some things in life just seem to get better with age—wine, cheese, and apparently, Emily in Paris. There’s something almost hypnotic about this Netflix series. Maybe it’s the vibrant shots of the city, the whirlwind romance, or Emily’s perfect Parisian outfits. If you’re one of those who devoured the fourth season quicker than you can say “bonjour”, we have some thrilling news for you: Emily is back for Season 5.

And no, it’s not just more of Emily’s adventures in the City of Lights—get ready for a little Italian flair as the series heads to Rome.

Emily’s relationships have always been at the heart of the show, and Season 4 didn’t disappoint. From Gabriel’s baby bombshell to the love triangle that might turn into a square, the drama was hotter than the summer sun over Paris.

When Netflix first started releasing its own original scripted content, the streamer did so with the revolutionary concept of binge-watching. Every episode was released all at once! We didn't have to wait a week in between new episodes! We could watch at our own pace! It was great, and still is, but Netflix has introduced a new release pattern for some of its shows: the split season.

Netflix introduced the two-part release strategy for its shows long before the actors' and writers' strikes impacted the film and television industry in 2023. Money Heist released its seasons in parts, as did comedies The Ranch and Fuller House, but those instances of split seasons were nothing compared to those we're seeing now.

The decision to divide Stranger Things season 4 into two parts in the summer of 2022 seemed to ignite the idea and put it into practice in a major way.The Witcher season...

When the dawn of a new year approaches and you take stock of the shows yet to be renewed or canceled, you never want to jinx these shows by predicting their fate. As an outspoken Emily in Paris fan, I don't want to put it out into the universe that the show — gulp — ends with season 5 or gets abruptly canceled, but sometimes... you have to call it like you see it.

It's a reality that as shows age, they are more likely to either get the plug pulled or end naturally with a final season. For avid television watchers, that's the circle of life on the small screen, save for a small population of outliers. Other shows that aren't so lucky to reach veteran status could find themselves teetering on the edge of no return, while some are sadly sitting ducks no matter how beloved.

In spite of Netflix's...

“Emily in Paris” star Lucas Bravo said he’s debating returning for the Netflix series’ upcoming fifth season after being “frustrated with the direction” his character, Gabriel, has taken.

“When you love something … you want the best version of it. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been frustrated with the direction by character is taking,” Bravo said in an interview with Indiewire while promoting his upcoming film, “Freedom.” “It makes me question if I want to be part of Season 5 […] because my contract ends at Season 4.”

While Bravo noted “the ‘sexy chef’ was very much part of [him] in Season 1,'” the turns his character has taken in the subsequent installments have created distance between the actor and Gabriel. “I’ve never been so far away from him.” Season 4, which debuted in two parts in August and September, saw Gabriel and Emily (Lily Collins) finally get together for a fleeting moment before breaking up,...

French President Emmanuel Macron reacts to Emily in Paris potentially leaving his country behind for Italy. The rom-com series, which debuted in 2020, has recently been renewed for its fifth season. The show, created by Darren Star (Sex and the City), follows young Chicagoan Emily Cooper (Lily Collins), who moves to Paris to work for a chic marketing firm. The season 4 finale seemingly sets up Emily for a big move to Rome, raising questions about Emily in Paris season 5's setting and surprising many viewers.

This includes the French president himself, whose wife made an appearance on the series this year. In an interview with Variety, amid a discussion about France's move towards the global center of culture, President Emmanuel Macron touched upon the upcoming fifth season of Netflix's Emily in Paris. He shared his reaction to the series potentially switching locations, teasing he wouldn't let it go easily. Macron...

French President Emmanuel Macron isn’t ready to bid au revoir to “Emily in Paris.”

While Emily (Lily Collins) has relocated to Rome in the Season 4 finale of the hit Netflix series, Macron is vowing to bring the production back to France.

“We will fight hard. And we will ask them to remain in Paris!” Macron told Variety. “‘Emily in Paris’ in Rome doesn‘t make sense.”

“Emily in Paris” is confirmed to be moving to Italy for its fifth season as Emily will lead the marketing campaign for new client-slash-suitor Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini). And while it’s still unclear where the series could go next both narratively and in terms of jet-setting, it seems that Macron may have an advantage to bringing Emily once more to Paris: Macron’s wife Brigitte Macron guest-starred on the show.

“I was super proud, and she was very happy to do it,” Macron said of the cameo.

For the past few years, Netflix has helped lead the charge for traditional romantic comedies to make a rightful comeback. We have been in need of some real levity and heartwarming love stories, the kind that used to make bank at the box office. Now, we're getting some of the best rom-coms in the comfort of our own homes thanks to Netflix with titles like Nobody Wants This.

The romantic comedy series, which stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, centers on a sex and relationships podcast host who doesn't follow any form of organized religion falling head over heels for a traditional Jewish rabbi. As the title suggests, nobody seems to want them together, but their attraction and connection is bigger than the divisions between religion.

Without question, Nobody Wants This ranks as the best new comedy series of 2024. It's that good! After watching all 10 episodes of the incredibly lovable rom-coms series,...
