Lily Collins Teases Big Changes and New Adventures in Emily in Paris Season 5
As Emily in Paris gears up for its highly anticipated fifth season, star Lily Collins is sharing her hopes for where the show—and her character, Emily—might go next. After four seasons of love triangles, career highs and lows, and all the fashion Paris has to offer, it seems Season 5 will bring even more exciting changes for Emily, especially as she embarks on a new adventure in Italy.
At the end of Season 4, fans were left surprised when Emily accepted a new position that would take her out of Paris and into Rome. With her career flourishing and new opportunities on the horizon, the shift to Italy marks a major turning point in the series. But, if Collins has her way, Emily won’t be exploring the Eternal City alone.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Collins revealed that one of her biggest hopes for Season 5 is to bring her “girls” along for the journey. “I can’t be there alone. That’s not going to be fun,” she said, expressing her desire to keep Emily’s friends by her side as she navigates her new role in Italy. “We gotta find a way to make it a group experience.” For fans of the close-knit friendship dynamics between Emily and her Parisian crew—Mindy (Ashley Park) and Camille (Camille Razat)—this is a welcome hint that the heart of the show won’t be left behind in Paris.
Collins also shared her excitement about exploring more of Italy. While Rome will certainly be the focus, she teased the possibility of visiting other beautiful Italian locales. “There are so many other places in Italy,” she hinted, sparking speculation that Season 5 could offer a broader glimpse of the country’s rich culture and stunning landscapes.
But while Emily’s professional life is set to expand, Collins hopes her character’s personal growth will take center stage. Specifically, she wants Emily to take a step back from her ever-busy social media presence and embrace a more grounded, in-the-moment approach to life. In one of the final scenes of Season 4, Collins had the idea for Emily to drop her phone as a symbolic gesture of disconnecting from the constant online world. “I hope next season, we get to see a little less of her phone,” Collins explained, hoping to show Emily being more present in her experiences.
As Emily in Paris heads into its fifth season, fans are eager to see how these new developments will shape Emily’s story. Will her romance with Alfie or Gabriel reignite? Will her career flourish in Rome? And how will the dynamics of her friendships evolve in a new city? With Collins’ enthusiasm for deepening Emily’s character and taking her on exciting new adventures, Season 5 promises to be a refreshing chapter in the beloved series.
While details about Emily in Paris Season 5 remain under wraps, one thing is clear—Emily’s story is far from over, and her journey through Italy is just beginning. Fans can look forward to seeing her tackle new challenges with her signature style and optimism, and as always, with plenty of surprises along the way.
