Emily in Paris season 4 hasn’t even hit Netflix yet, but there is already buzz about a season 5.
A major hint dropped this week during the Cannes Film Festival. At the amfAR Gala, which raises money for HIV and AIDS research, one of the prizes up for auction was a guest role in Emily in Paris’ fifth season.
Supermodel Winnie Harlow and actress Paris Jackson presented the prize on behalf of the show’s creator, Darren Star. “One of you is going to leave here tonight with a walk-on role in season 5 of the hit TV show Emily In Paris,” Jackson told the crowd. She and Harlow also mentioned the season would begin filming in mid 2025, according to Variety.
Ramin Setoodeh, the co-editor-in-chief of Variety, gave an update on X, stating that the winner had bid 250,000 euros, which translates to about $271,121.50.
However, as Variety points out, Netflix has not officially renewed the series for a fifth season—at least not yet. The amfAR website now lists that the walk-on-role is “contingent upon season 5 pickup.” Thankfully, the winner didn’t leave empty handed.
“To tide you over until then, the winning bidder and a guest are invited to attend the Los Angeles première of Emily In Paris Season 4 this August,” amfAR added.
Variety reports that, originally, the wording amfAR used to describe the prize made it appear as though production for season 5 has already begun. But, in fact, a new season is still sadly up in the air.
Emily in Paris season 4 is split into two parts, with the first half releasing on August 15, followed by the second half on September 12. This season, Emily is venturing out of her French fantasy and heading to Italy. As for any other plot details, Netflix has kept everything under wraps, but the season 3 finale did leave fans with big hints for where the story could go next.
Viewers were left on a major cliffhanger when Camille called off her wedding to Gabriel after she realized that he is still in love with Emily. This major shock causes Alfie to break up with Emily too. Now that she and Gabriel are both out of their relationships, they are able to come to terms with their feelings for each other…until Gabriel reveals that Camille is pregnant, leaving him with one big decision to make. Fans were also left wondering about Emily’s co-worker Julien, and whether he’s leaving Agence Grateau. Not to mention, Mindy found out at the end of season 3 that she’d be competing in the Eurovision Song Contest with her ex, Benoît, so hopefully we’ll get to see them take the stage in season 4. Fingers crossed we get to see them all again for season 5, too.
