The popular Netflix series Emily in Paris is preparing to win over audiences again with its fifth season, filming of which has officially started in Italy, specifically in Rome. In fact, the new installment of the U.S. TV series that debuted in 2020 created by Darren Star (the same creator of Sex and the City, Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place) is expected to be filmed in late 2025 and promises new adventures and, of course, a good dose of glamour.
During a break from the Roman set, the cast experienced a special moment: a private visit to the Vatican Museum. Lily Collins, the beloved star of the series who plays the young Emily Cooper, took advantage of this occasion, along with the entire cast, to immerse herself in art and history, away from the production lights for a moment.
And of course there was no shortage of shots, later posted on social media by Collins herself, to capture the emotions of this special visit and the bond between the actors of the series. The entire cast is seen smiling at the entrance to the Vatican Museums, a selfie full of complicity between Lily Collins and Ashley Park (who plays Mindy in the series), and Lily alone immersed in the majestic Gallery of Maps.
“Emily will have a presence in Rome,” said Darren Star. “It doesn’t mean she won’t be in Paris, but she will have a presence in Rome.” "The cast and crew of Emily in Paris are excited to begin filming season five in the Eternal City,“ Star continued. ”From Parisian rooftops to Roman ruins, we can’t wait to share where Emily’s next chapter will take us." Cast members Lily Collins, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie Grateau), Ashley Park (Mindy Chen), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc), William Abadie (Antoine Lambert), Lucien Laviscount (Alfie) and Eugenio Franceschini (Marcello) will all return for the new season, but more actors and actresses will join the cast.
Posting photos of her visit to the Vatican Museum, Lily Collins wrote: "Most special outing with my Emily in Paris family at the Vatican last night. What a dream. Thank you for such a magical tour...."
"What a pleasure to welcome the wonderful Lily Collins and family of Emily in Paris to the Vatican Museums. Thank you for your gracious presence and for sharing the beauty of this special evening with the world," the museum responded.
