Showrunner Darren Star has revealed that this season’s shift to Rome is designed to bring fresh storylines and cultural dynamics into play. In a recent interview with TVLine, she discussed how Emily Cooper’s (Lily Collins) move to Rome will provide new plot opportunities and explore cultural contrasts between French and Italian lifestyles. “It just expands the universe of the show,” she explained. “Emily will face new cultural differences, which will keep the show’s charm alive while offering something new.”
Emily in Paris originally debuted in 2020, following Chicago marketing exec Emily as she moved to France to boost her company’s image. Over four seasons, fans watched as she grappled with Parisian customs, language barriers, and complex relationships. However, the season four finale left viewers on a cliffhanger with Emily being reassigned to Rome.
Will Emily move back to Paris?
Darren also stated that while the show’s setting is changing, Paris won’t be entirely left behind. Many of the French cast members will accompany Emily on her Italian adventure, ensuring that Parisian influence remains a significant part of the narrative. “It’s a whole new world, but Paris will still play a major role,” she assured. This shift will allow for intriguing comparisons between French and Italian cultures, adding to the series’ humour and drama.
Fans have speculated about the impact of the new setting on the show’s title. Star confirmed that the title Emily in Paris will remain unchanged, as Paris continues to be integral to Emily’s story. Despite her new Roman surroundings, Emily’s connection to Paris will persist, and it’s likely she will return to her Parisian roots eventually.
The move to Rome injects a fresh dynamic into the series, offering Emily a new environment to navigate and new characters to interact with. Darren believes this change will rejuvenate the show, providing opportunities for character growth and fresh comedic scenarios. “New cultural influences offer a familiar sense of alienation for her,” she said, hinting at the intriguing contrasts and conflicts that will arise.
