New season teaser and what it signals

Netflix has released the first teaser for “Emily in Paris” Season 5, and the quick-cut footage confirms a sunnier, faster, more mobile show. Emily is on the move between Paris and Rome, trading her familiar arrondissements for piazzas, riverside strolls and Vespa rides. The trailer hints at a rekindled romance with Marcello, raises new questions about Emily’s future at Savoir’s successor firm, and sets up fresh rivalries in love and work. The mood is light, but the stakes look sharper: new clients, higher expectations, and a city-hopping calendar that forces Emily to choose what—and who—she really wants.

What to watch for this season

Season 5 appears to lean into travel fantasy while resolving Season 4’s career cliffhangers. Lily Collins’ Emily still narrates with breezy optimism, but the teaser’s rhythm suggests quicker plot turns and more consequences when plans collide. Expect Camille and Gabriel’s stories to evolve in parallel, with the Rome detour complicating loyalties back in Paris. Wardrobe remains a character of its own; the teaser flashes bold tailoring and color-blocked separates that nod to Italian couture. The supporting cast also gets trailer spotlight, implying fuller arcs for colleagues who can challenge—or rescue—Emily when deals wobble. If the show sticks the landing, it can balance rom-com sparkle with workplace momentum, giving longtime viewers fresh payoffs without losing the fizzy tone that made it a hit.
