Emily In Paris: Lucas Bravo Is Back For New Season
As Emily in Paris prepares for its fifth season, fans were shocked to learn that Lucas Bravo, who had openly criticized the series in recent months, will return.
Emily in Paris has been captivating hearts since its release in 2020. Year after year, fans wait for its portrayal of the colorful American Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) navigating her exciting life. The series will return to filming in early 2025 and will feature an exciting return.
Bravo’s return to Emily in Paris for its fifth season is a surprising development, especially given his candid criticism of the series in a recent interview. While promoting his role in the Prime film Freedom, he expressed dissatisfaction with his character, leading many to believe he had parted ways with the Parisian series for good.
The actor stated, “The ‘sexy chef’ was very much part of me in season one, and we grew apart season after season because of the choices he makes and the direction they make him take. I’ve never been so far away from him.” He even added that the character had “slowly turned into guacamole.” Bravo’s discontent may be rooted in his character’s softness and his lack of say in the series’s decisions.

Bravo has openly wished for a more complex and gritty direction for the character—one that mirrors the intensity seen in series like The Bear. Despite these concerns, the actor will reprise his role for season five, and fans can expect Gabriel’s Michelin-starred restaurant to feature prominently in the upcoming season. The Freedom star has been bashing the Netflix series for the past few months.
What’s to Come
Season five picks up with Emily navigating life between two cities—Paris and Rome—after her big move to Italy in season four. This international setting is a natural continuation of the series’s appeal, built on glamorous locations and high-stakes relationships. Emily’s love triangle with Gabriel and her Italian beau, Marcello, is set to intensify as the story unfolds, with her personal and professional life becoming more complicated than ever, much to the fan’s appeal.

The series will also introduce a third international location, with rumors suggesting destinations like Saint-Tropez or Megève, which have served as glamorous backdrops in past seasons. These tourist favorite settings and dream travel destinations complement Emily in Paris’ appeal of a foreign escape. This new season will offer viewers a stylish virtual vacation alongside the series’s signature romantic drama.
With its perfect mix of romance, comedy, and picturesque settings, Emily in Paris season five promises to be another hit. Fans can look forward to more fashion, drama, and, of course, more of Emily’s adventures as she navigates life in two of Europe’s most glamorous cities.
Seasons one through four of Emily in Paris are currently streaming on Netflix.
