Who Is Leaving ‘Emily in Paris’? The Cast Members Reportedly Not Returning in Season 5
Emily in Paris is getting ready to pick up cameras and start production for season 5, but some of the beloved cast members won’t be returning to fans’ television screens. Life & Style reveals which stars are leaving the Netflix series and won’t return for the fifth season.
Who Is Leaving ‘Emily in Paris’ Ahead of Season 5?
Camille Razat, who played Camille and Emily’s friend-turned-nemesis during the first four seasons of the show, will not return for season 5, multiple outlets reported.
She later broke her silence on her exit while issuing a statement via Instagram on April 23, 2025. “After an incredible journey, I’ve made the decision to step away from Emily in Paris,” she wrote alongside several photos of her and her costars. “It has been a truly wonderful experience, one filled with growth, creativity, and unforgettable memories.”
Camille then thanked the show’s team for “giving me the opportunity to bring Camille to life and leaving the door open for her return, as she will always be a part of Emily in Paris world.”
“This character has meant a lot to me, and I feel that her storyline has naturally come to an end. It felt like the right moment to explore new horizons,” she continued.
After noting that she’s busy working on other projects, Camille insisted there was no bad blood with the Emily in Paris crew. “I leave the show with nothing but love and admiration for the cast, crew, and fans who have supported us along the way. Thank you for the beautiful ride,” she concluded.
Who Is Returning to ‘Emily in Paris’ Season 5?
Series regulars Lily Collins (Emily Cooper), Ashley Park (Mindy Chen), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie Grateau), Lucien Laviscount (Alfie), Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc), William Abadie (Antoine Lambert), Thalia Besson (Genevieve) and Eugenio Franceschini (Marcello) will all reprise their roles for season 5.
Although Lucas, who has been a part of the show since the beginning, is returning for the upcoming season, he previously admitted that he was contemplating coming back.
“The ‘sexy chef’ was very much part of me in Season 1 and we grew apart season after season because of the choices he makes and because of the direction they make him take. I’ve never been so far away from him,” Lucas told IndieWire in October 2024. “In Season 1, there was a lot of me in him. But as they made him kind of unaware of his surroundings, of the dynamic, always victimizing and always being completely lost in translation and oblivious to anything that is happening around him and being manipulated by everyone, it kind of became not fun for me to shoot or to see a character I love so much and brought me so much, being slowly turned into guacamole. I really grew apart from him.”
Where Will ‘Emily in Paris’ Season 5 Be Filmed?
Production kicks off in Rome in May 2025 and will venture to Paris in the later half of filming.
What Happened During ‘Emily in Paris’ Season 4?
During season 4, Emily was caught in a love triangle between Alfie and Gabriel. Camille was once engaged to Gabriel, but ended things and called off the wedding when she discovered his yearning toward Emily.
“I think there’s something about the relationship between Gabriel and Emily that was a little surface-y,” Emily in Paris creator Darren Star shared with Netflix’s Tudum in September 2024. “They didn’t know each other that well. It was a little bit of a fantasy for both of them. I think this year, it gets a little bit more real in terms of who they are and taking off the rose-colored glasses about each other.”
Emily ended up in a relationship with Marcello at the end of season 4. She was also moving closer to him, after she was asked to relocate to Rome for her new role running the Agence Grateau’s Italian office.
That said, she found herself in yet another possible love triangle after Gabriel showed up at her new residence in Rome unannounced.
