- Netflix releases the first trailer for Emily in Paris season 5
- Changes the title of the series to Emily in Rome in its final moments
- All episodes will be released on December 18
The first advance of Emily in Paris Season 5 is here, and we’ve gotten our first taste of the happy life after Emily (Lily Collins) moved to Rome on the hit Netflix series.
The first trailer for season 5 shows that basically everyone else – Mindy (Ashley Park), Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), Luc (Bruno Gouery) and Julian (Samuel Arnold) – have followed Emily to Italy, begging Julian to ask the question: “If we’re all here… who’s in Paris?”
It’s a great question, but I don’t want to know the answer yet. If you feel the same as I do about Emily being much better prepared to make a new life in Rome, the Emily in Paris The season 5 trailer gives us a fantastic clue that the move could be more of an ending than previously thought.
Opinion: I Need Emily in Paris Season 5 to Really Be Emily in Rome Season 1, and the Trailer Worked
Look
Everything about Emily’s life in Paris bothered me: the lack of personal and professional development, the constant lack of communication between her and Gabriel, being overshadowed by her friends and colleagues. There are only so many of these things you can take, and by season 4, I had reached my limit.
When Emily first went to Rome in the second part of season 4, it was like a light went on. She seemed genuinely happier with herself, she was more assertive and confident than she wanted. It felt like she was trying on a pair of shoes for the first time that had enough room to grow into.
That’s exactly what Season 5’s location change indicates: growth. Obviously, you can’t run away from your problems, but it seems like Netflix agrees with me when it comes to Paris giving Emily everything she had to offer.
If you wait until the last seconds of the new trailer, you will see the Emily in Paris logo deleted and replaced by Emily in Rome. It’s a sign that the change in Emily’s personal life is more permanent than we thought, and that’s music to my ears.
Even if nothing particularly dramatic happens in Season 5 (and I’m sure it will), I think grounding and clarity are the right steps to take. Sure, the supporting cast can be in as much chaos as they want, but Emily needs something more stable so we can get more out of it.
However, this is a Netflix show, so I’m not going to take this moment for granted. As the full synopsis for Season 5 says, “Just when everything falls into place, a work idea falls through and the consequences lead to heartbreak and career setbacks. Seeking stability, Emily leans into her French lifestyle, until a big secret threatens one of her closest relationships.”
Sigh…I guess I can’t have it all. In the meantime, I hope all roads lead back to Rome, even if we have to take a French detour in the process.
