Emily in Paris Hosts Season 5 Premiere With Ted Sarandos, Darren Star

“Emily in Paris” Season 5 Premieres in Style at the Grand Rex Theater

Excitement filled the air as the cast and creators of “Emily in Paris” gathered at the Grand Rex theater in Paris for the highly anticipated premiere of Season 5. The event was a grand affair, attended by Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos, series creator Darren Star, and the entire star-studded cast.

The evening kicked off with the screening of the first two episodes, which take Emily (played by Lily Collins) to Rome where she embarks on a new adventure. However, fans were assured that the show would return to its beloved Paris setting later in the season.

Lily Collins, looking stunning in a black Armani gown, lightened the mood by joking about the playful feud between French President Emmanuel Macron and Rome mayor Roberto Gualtieri over the show’s location. She never expected to be part of a “European political love triangle,” she quipped.

Onstage, Ted Sarandos reflected on the impact of “Emily in Paris” since its launch in 2020, noting how it provided much-needed escapism during a challenging time. The show has since become a global sensation, sparking conversations about culture, fashion, and friendship.

As the show has evolved, so has Emily’s character. Lily Collins shared that each season allows Emily to grow and learn, becoming more confident and embracing vulnerability. Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, who plays Sylvie, welcomed the shift in tone, noting the beauty of exploring emotions beneath the comedy.

Season 5 promises to be racier and more dramatic, drawing comparisons to “Sex and the City.” The cast members, including Lucien Laviscount, Ashley Park, and Lucas Bravo, teased exciting storylines and steamy moments to come.

Creator Darren Star revealed that Season 5 is his favorite so far, with a strong storyline and surprising twists in store. The show is executive produced by a talented team, including Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns, and Andrew Fleming.

Mark your calendars for December 18, when all 10 episodes of “Emily in Paris” Season 5 will be available for streaming. Get ready for more romance, drama, and fashion in the city of love.
