Who had any doubt that the show would get a fifth season?

The second part of the fourth season of Emily in Paris has been released on Netflix. The last episode not only expanded the geography of events, hinting that the next season might change the capital in the title, but also left a lot of questions unanswered.

At the same time, the final episodes introduce viewers to new characters and push some of the familiar ones into the background.

What Happened in Season 4?

The end of the third season, in which a pregnant Camille refused to marry Gabriel because of his feelings for Emily, was incredibly intense.

The first half of the fourth season was much slower. The search for the missing Camille alternated with problems of harassment at work from Sylvie's past.

The second part of the fourth season did its best to restore the intensity of the events. The sixth episode begins with a less than successful Christmas that Emily spends at a ski resort with Gabriel and Camille's family. New characters are also introduced.

The Italian Marcello, who helps the main character ski, stays in Emily's life for a long time. Another new character is Sylvie's stepdaughter Genevieve. She is interested in Gabriel and now works with Emily at her stepmother's agency.

But the most important event of the whole season was the finale, in which the main character moves to Rome and even almost changes her nickname on social networks. The thing is that Sylvie is opening an Italian branch of her marketing agency. And she intends to make Emily the head of the branch and send her to live in Rome, where Marcello is already waiting for her.

What to Expect in Season 5?

Emily in Paris showrunner Darren Star has revealed that the character's story will move from Paris to Rome for the upcoming fifth season. The change will bring new cultural challenges, add dynamism and expand the show's universe.

After four seasons living in France, Emily will now have to deal with the unique traditions of Italy, just as she was beginning to settle.

While the move to Rome will be a big change, Star emphasized that Paris is still a big part of the show. Fan-favorite characters will join Emily in Italy, so the French vibe will still be there.

In the final episode of the fourth season, Emily finally gets involved with Marcello. But the story of good old Gabriel is far from over. Despite all the rough edges, the chef is ready to win Emily back. At the same time, it is unclear how exactly their storyline will develop. The final episode of the fourth season hints that the Frenchman may follow his love to Italy.

Gabriel finally gets the coveted Michelin star, this time a real one. After such good news, his business partner Antoine and Alfie suggest that now is a good time to expand the business and open a second restaurant in another country.

It seems that bad news awaits the fans of Camille and Alfie. Viewers have been given a clear indication that they are out of the story. Camille decides to adopt a child and Alfie has found a new love behind the scenes and has given up competing for Emily's heart.
