Emily in Paris-philes, we have some sad news for you. Darren Star, the series’ creator, has revealed that Camille (Camille Razat) ‘might not’ be returning for the show’s now-confirmed fifth season.

In a September 13, 2024 interview with The Wrap, Star clarified that while Camille will still be a part of the Emily in Paris world, she might not necessarily be actively involved in any storylines. He explained: ‘I think she’s always going to be part of the series — she’s part of their world and I would never rule out the fact that we’re going to see her again. Her story is going to continue.’

Around the same time in another interview, the issue was further probed, with Star being asked how much of Camille’s journey will be incorporated in the show moving forward, to which he seemed more uncertain. ‘I don’t know. I think that’s a question,’ he said. ‘Characters can come in and out of a series, but you don’t necessarily have to see them. We may or may not. I don’t know how much of Camille we’ll see next season. But again, she’s part of the world of the series. I’m not sure how soon we’ll see her, but it doesn’t mean, again, that we won’t be seeing her.’

While exact plot lines are as yet unclear, the fifth season of Emily in Paris, which was confirmed on September 16, 2024, will focus on Emily’s relationship with Marcello, which Lily Collins, who plays the titular Emily Collins, spoke about in an interview with Netflix’s Tudum when the fifth series was confirmed.

‘I feel like they have a real spark and a real connection and a real romantic connection. A lot of that’s going to continue to play out next season,’ she said, adding that, while fans of the show are keen for her character to reunite with Gabriel, it doesn’t look likely. ‘Unfortunately, Gabriel has to deal with the repercussions of his choice to end things with her,’ she stated.
