Emily in Paris Premieres Season 5 in Grand Rex Theater
Netflix’s hit series “Emily in Paris” celebrated its highly anticipated Season 5 premiere at the iconic Grand Rex theater in Paris. The event was attended by Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos, series creator Darren Star, and the star-studded cast including Lily Collins, Ashley Park, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Lucas Bravo, and more. Just hours before the premiere, the cast received the prestigious Legion of Honor from French President Emmanuel Macron.
The first two episodes of Season 5 take place in Rome, where Emily (Collins) has moved to run the Grateau office and experience the dolce vita with her Italian beau Marcello. However, Star assured the audience that the show will return to Paris later in the season.
Collins, looking radiant in a black Armani gown, joked about the playful feud between Macron and Rome mayor Roberto Gualtieri over the show’s location. She never expected to be part of a European political love triangle but found humor in the situation.
Star teased the possibility of Macron making a cameo in an upcoming season, following Brigitte Macron’s appearance in Season 4. The show has deepened the cultural conversation between France and the world, sparking friendly rivalries with other countries.
Sarandos reflected on the impact of “Emily in Paris” since its launch during the pandemic, providing viewers with escapism and a connection during a challenging time. The show has become a global sensation, igniting conversations about culture, fashion, and friendship.
Collins discussed the growth of her character, Emily, who has become more mature and confident over the seasons. Leroy-Beaulieu welcomed the shift in tone, exploring the emotional depth of her character Sylvie. Park praised the writers for delivering more love and drama in each season.
This season is said to be racier than previous ones, drawing comparisons to “Sex and the City.” The cast members teased new relationships, surprising twists, and steamy moments to come. Star declared Season 5 as his favorite, with a strong storyline and character development.
Executive produced by a talented team, “Emily in Paris” Season 5 will premiere all 10 episodes on December 18. Fans can expect an exciting and captivating continuation of Emily’s adventures in the City of Lights.
