Emily in Paris Season 5 on Netflix: How Many Episodes You’ll Binge This Time
Emily in Paris returns December 18, 2025, with a 10-episode fifth season dropping all at once, ditching last season’s split rollout for a full-on binge — with Lily Collins back as Emily Cooper.
If you like your holiday viewing with couture, chaos, and questionable life choices, mark your calendar. Emily in Paris is back this winter, and yes, they are finally dropping the whole season at once. Also, pack your gelato budget: this year, Emily is splitting time between Paris and Rome, with a detour vibe that hints at Venice too.
Release plan
Season 5 hits Netflix worldwide on December 18, 2025. It runs 10 episodes, and unlike last season’s two-part rollout, everything lands the same day. Translation: binge away.
The premise (and the pivot to Italy)
This season is a legit reset for the show’s backdrop. After last year’s fling with an Italian fashion heir and a work trip that turned into opening a satellite office, Emily is now running Agence Grateau’s Rome branch. The creators are framing it as a tale of two cities: she’s building a life in Rome without cutting ties to Paris.
'Emily's going to have a presence in Rome. It doesn't mean she's not going to be in Paris.'
Where it picks up: Emily tries to find her footing as the head of the Rome office while managing a more tangled love life and keeping her Paris friendships and clients in the mix. The official season description is not subtle about the mess ahead:
'Now the head of Agence Grateau Rome, Emily faces professional and romantic challenges as she adapts to life in a new city. But just as everything falls into place, a work idea backfires, and the fallout cascades into heartbreak and career setbacks. Seeking stability, Emily leans into her French lifestyle, until a big secret threatens one of her closest relationships.'
Expect the usual romantic zigzags and office politics, plus a lot of textured location candy: think Roman ruins, Venetian canals, and the fashion world Emily insists on infiltrating in heels.
Who is in (and out) this season
- Returning cast: Lily 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), Eugenio Franceschini (Marcello), Thalia Besson (Genevieve), Paul Forman (Nico), Arnaud Binard (Laurent G.)

The takeaway
Season 5 looks like a proper expansion pack: same glossy energy, new city, higher stakes. Emily is basically commuting between love life landmines and boardroom blowups, only now she can do it with espresso that hits harder. If you’ve stuck with the show, this is a clean on-ramp into a fresh setting without losing the Paris core.
Emily in Paris Seasons 1–4 are streaming now on Netflix. Season 5 arrives December 18, 2025, with all 10 episodes dropping at once.
