Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) is definitely not finished with Rome yet, because Emily in Paris has been renewed for a fifth season.

“We are thrilled with the incredible response to this season of Emily in Paris and are excited to return for a fifth season to continue Emily’s adventures in Rome and Paris!” says creator Darren Star Tudum.

In season 4 of the series, the expat began a romance with a handsome Italian fashionista and then moved into an Italian apartment to open an office in Rome for Agence Grateau. But that doesn’t mean the name of the series is changing. “Emily will have a presence in Rome,” says Star. “That doesn’t mean she won’t be in Paris, but she will have a presence in Rome.”

Sending Emily to Italy to open a new office there stemmed from Star’s desire to “stay one step ahead of the audience and take them to unexpected places” and to prove “that the show has the potential to have a bigger impact.”

Emily in Paris Season 4 debuted at number one on the Netflix Global Top 10 when it premiered in August. It had 19.9 million views in its first four days, reached the top 10 in 93 countries, and has remained on the list for four consecutive weeks since then.

Collins announced the news about season 5 during an appearance on Good morning Americaand tells Tudum that she is excited to see what happens between her character and her new boyfriend Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini).

“Marcello is a whole different adventure that we want for Emily because we want Emily to ultimately have a better work-life balance,” she says. “We want Emily to be able to smile unconditionally. We want her to go beyond her vacation mode. And he comes at just the right time.”

Star confirms that Emily’s relationship with Marcello will be explored further in Season 5, saying: “I feel like there’s a real spark and a real connection between them and a real romantic connection. Much of this will continue into next season.”

Of course, Emily’s neighbor and on-off boyfriend Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) had a revelation in the final moments of season four that he does want to be with Emily after all. Communication issues might have prevented the duo from having a real relationship, but he’s willing to fight to be with her. “Unfortunately,” says Collins, “Gabriel has to deal with the consequences of his decision” to end things with her.
