Meanwhile, Mindy Chen, iconic role which is portrayed by Ashley Park, worked through her own romantic and career challenges after ending her relationship with Nico.
Alfie, Emily’s ex-boyfriend played by Lucien Laviscount, is now appearing to grow closer to Mindy which added more complexity to the storyline than ever.
Returning cast members included Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie, Samuel Arnold as Julien, Bruno Gouery as Luc and Thalia Besson as Geneviève, Sylvie’s stepdaughter, who sparked some drama with Gabriel.
However, the season is set to introduce new faces, including Bryan Greenberg as Jake, Michèle Laroque as Yvette and Minnie Driver as Princess Jane.
Season five will explore Emily trying to adjust to her new environment while managing career struggles and personal connections.
The series did a great job maintaing its signature style, lavish costumes and playful storytelling while giving fans a few of romantic twists and surprises.
With a mix of old and new characters, Emily in Paris continued to deliver the drama, humour and charm that made it a global hit.
