After a delightful twist, which saw our favorite hapless expat relocate to Rome, Netflix confirmed that Darren Star’s frothy romp will be back for a fifth outing. Here’s everything we know so far.

Wait, didn’t we already know that Emily in Paris was renewed for Season 5?
Well, not quite. There was much confusion back in May 2024, when, during the amfAR gala at the Cannes Film Festival, Winnie Harlow and Paris Jackson appeared on stage to auction off a walk-on role in Emily in Paris Season 5 for charity. In the official auction booklet, the listing read: “From Sex and the City to Emily in Paris, Darren Star brings dreams to life, and he will bring the film dreams to life for one lucky bidder with a walk-on role during season five of Emily in Paris. As part of the walk-on role, the winning bidder will have the opportunity to spend a day on set in Paris during filming sometime after April 2025. To tide you over until then, the winning bidder and a guest are invited to attend the Los Angeles premiere of Emily in Paris season four this August.” Harlow and Jackson added that Season 5 was scheduled to begin shooting in mid-2025, and the eventual winner of the auction shelled out a whopping €250,000.
However, it was then reported that the fifth season had not actually been greenlit, with the auction website being updated to say that the winning bidder would “have the opportunity to spend a day on set in Paris during filming, contingent upon season five pick-up”. Now that we’ve had the official confirmation, fans can breathe a sigh of relief.
