In the season 5 finale of Emily in Paris, Emily Cooper’s whirlwind romance in Italy comes to a shocking end. Creator Darren Star talks about the shocking turns of events in an exclusive interview with the Hollywood Reporter. Emily (Lily Collins) makes a big decision between love and her dreams of living in Paris after spending time in Venice and Rome. Fans are excited to see what happens next. Star put cliffhangers at the end to get Netflix to make more episodes.
The season moves to Italy, where Emily’s team looks for business deals. At the same time, her relationship with Marcello heats up when a diamond ring mix-up makes her worry about proposals. Emily and Marcello break up on good terms because she wants to focus on her career and independence. Marcello’s future ties him to Italy, while hers stays in Paris. In Paris, Sylvie tells Gabriel about Emily’s return and hints that they might be getting back together. Meanwhile, Mindy is dealing with her own romantic problems.
Star talks about giving Emily the power to follow her own dreams instead of Marcello’s in his Hollywood Reporter interview. He wrote a lot of cliffhangers, like Gabriel’s invitation to Greece, to keep the show going and not end storylines too soon. Star hopes that Emily and Gabriel will stay in touch, and she hints at adventures in Greece in a possible season 6.
After Star hinted at a sixth season, fans went wild with speculation. Greece is a key location, and unresolved tensions are adding to the excitement. The creator is still hopeful and says he will keep going as long as Netflix wants him to, building on the show’s ability to take people away from their problems. You can stream season 5 on Netflix right now to see every twist.
