Emily Cooper trades her Parisian chic for Italian elegance in Emily in Paris’ Season 4 Part 2.

The season introduced exciting new characters, adding fresh dynamics and potential storylines for the next season.

Have you ever heard the saying, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”? Well, someone must have given Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) that memo, because she’s finally swapped her Parisian wardrobe for a suitcase full of Italian flair in the Emily in Paris season four finale! Premiering on September 12, 2024, the second half of the fourth season concluded with a flourish, unveiling enticing new characters and a refreshing twist on Emily’s love life.

In a sweet plot twist, the finale also featured a surprise cameo from Brigitte Macron herself, proving that this utterly fashionable show can mix fantasy with reality like a pro. But here’s a spicy tidbit: Camille Razat’s character might be taking a backseat in season five.

Emily in Paris: Will Camille Take a Backseat Season 5?

Fans had been holding their breath (and possibly their Instagram likes) for the grand conclusion of Emily in Paris’ first-ever two-part season 4. We can rest easy knowing that the core cast—Lily Collins as Emily, Ashley Park as Mindy, Lucas Bravo as Gabriel, Lucien Laviscount as Alfie, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie, Samuel Arnold as Julien, Bruno Gouery as Luc, and William Abadie as Antoine Lambert—are all expected to make a grand return.

But hold onto your berets, because here comes a twist that might have you gasping into your café au lait. Camille Razat’s character, Camille, might be stepping into the shadows next season. Darren Star, the creative wizard behind the show, recently spilled the beans to Glamour, admitting that he’s uncertain about Camille’s role in Season 5.

I think the idea that she thought she was going to have a baby, and then to have dealt with that disappointment, and then to discover there was a way to do it with Gabriel that he didn’t want to pursue—[as a result], she realized this was something that she wanted to do on her own. So I don’t know what’s going to happen with her in season five. I’m not sure how much we’ll see of that story right now.

So, it looks like Camille’s journey may take a detour, as she contemplates a new path after discovering she wasn’t pregnant with Gabriel’s child and opting for adoption instead.

At the start of the series, Camille helped Emily decode the city’s mysteries—kind of like having a GPS with a fabulous wardrobe. Her initial role was to ease Emily into the chic chaos of Parisian life. However, there emerged tension in Camille’s romance with Gabriel, turning her into the central figure of a love triangle that kept the drama simmering. With Emily’s burgeoning feelings for Gabriel, the triangle turned into a full-blown dramatic ballet, with Camille caught in the middle of the tango.

What to Expect When Emily in Paris Hits the Italian Streets in Season 5

As the saying goes, “The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry,” and it looks like Emily Cooper’s plans for her chic Parisian life are about to take a detour. Season 4, Part 2 of Emily in Paris has left us with more cliffhangers than a soap opera marathon, setting the stage for what promises to be a thrilling Season 5. So, grab your fashionista hats and an espresso, because here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming next!

First up, let’s talk about Emily’s grand adventure to Rome. After all, when life hands you a six-month contract and a dreamy new beau in the form of Marcello, you take a detour from the Eiffel Tower to the Colosseum. In Season 5, she will be strutting her stuff in Rome, managing an Agence Grateau office, and diving into the family business of her new love interest.

Meanwhile, Mindy is taking her talents back to Shanghai after a viral sensation catapults her into the spotlight once again. It seems the singing competition that sent her into exile is now offering her a seat at the judge’s table—talk about a full-circle moment! As for Camille, she’s not dating Gabriel, nor is she expecting a bundle of joy. Instead, she’s set her sights on becoming a single mom, adding a fresh layer to her storyline.

Now, let’s not forget about Gabriel, our charming French chef, who is hoping to rekindle his flame with Emily. Alfie, the ever-helpful ex, has given Gabriel a nudge, advising him not to let his pride get in the way of winning back the “greatest girl in the world”.

But before you start packing your bags for Rome, Darren Star has cleared up some confusion. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he reassured us:

We’ll spend some time in Rome. But she did not change her Instagram handle to Emily in Rome.

Oh, and there’s more! Season 5 is set to reveal Alfie’s mysterious new girlfriend—talk about a cliffhanger with a side of intrigue. Star hinted that we’ll get to meet her soon, so keep your eyes peeled for some fresh faces and juicy drama.

Emily in Paris is now streaming on Netflix.
