From Paris to Rome to Venice
The series has increasingly expanded beyond Paris, with Season 4 featuring storylines in Rome. Lily Collins described the shift from Paris to Rome as exciting, as it allowed the show to maintain Europe’s sense of passion and romance while exploring a fresh cultural backdrop and history. The fifth season of 'Emily in Paris' moves the story to Venice, introducing a new mix of romance, drama, and stylish adventures.
The show’s move to Rome in Season 4 even sparked playful political commentary. French President Emmanuel Macron remarked that he would fight to keep the series based in France, while Rome’s mayor, Roberto Gualtieri, suggested the comment was likely a joke, pointing out that production decisions are not made by world leaders.
