‘Emily in Rome?’ Netflix to produce season 5 of Emily in Paris

The Netflix season 4 part 2 finale of “Emily in Paris” may have surprised fans. Netflix announced on Tuesday to re-new the successful series for another season.

Lily Collins confirmed the rumor during an appearance on “Good Morning America” that Netflix agreed on the production of a fifth season of its popular series “Emily in Paris,” following the recent release of the second part of season four on September 12.

In the last episode of the season, employer Sylvie Grateau sends Emily (Lily Collins) to open an office in Rome. She meets a hot new customer named Marcello Muratori (Eugenio Franceschini) and makes an impression on him.

On the one hand, Emily is moving up the corporate ladder; she now has her own office to run in one of the world’s most picturesque cities. Meanwhile, she’s bidding farewell to her pals, her main love interest Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), and even her audience. “Emily in Paris” appears to be hinting at a possible geographical change for the program in Season 5, which is currently in the works, using that narrative twist. Darren Star, the showrunner and creator, has said, “What is “Emily in Paris” if not Emily in Paris?” in the midst of all the polka-dot ruffles, pain au chocolat, and overall mayhem.

Emily travels to Rome to pay her new beau Marcello a visit at his house. Among the many famous landmarks they see on their tour of Rome are the Trevi Fountain and the Colosseum. At the latter, Emily does what every decent tourist should and throws a penny into the water.

After a brief lunch and wine break, Emily and Marcello go on to the Spanish Steps, where complications arise. The two are breaking the rules by sitting on the stairs.

Please do not sit on the stairs while you are here. Antonio Di Maggio, the head of the Rome municipal police, enforced the prohibition of eating or writing on the steps at that time. On the other hand, there are some activities that are not allowed, such as selling things without authorization or posing as a Roman officer to take photos with visitors. It is our responsibility to enforce compliance with the rules.

Officials in Rome decided to crack down on tourists who sat on the steps too much in 2019, citing concerns that it made it difficult for other visitors to use the world-famous staircase. According to CBC, sitting on the stairs can result in a fine of 250 euros (about $270) or even up to 400 euros ($443) if the cops determine that your sitting has damaged the steps.

There are other ways to get into trouble in Rome than this. A restriction on consuming “messy” meals in the vicinity of historic places is one of the monument protection regulations enacted by authorities in 2019. So, you won’t find any gelato, pizza, or pasta anywhere near the Trevi Fountain or the Spanish Steps.

2019 also made it illegal to pull or “bounce” luggage up or down the stairs. Then-Mayor of Rome Virginia Raggi said: “Rome is, and always will be, welcoming, but that does not mean tolerating bad behavior and damage being done to our city.”

Thankfully, Emily has a hot new Italian lover who will take care of her bags and serve her spaghetti (really, in a more mature way).
