A |     Emily in Paris is set to return with its much-anticipated fifth season on December 18, and the celebratory mood was on full display at a stylish Paris premiere. The first two episodes were screened at the iconic Grand Rex theatre, with series creator Darren Star and the cast in attendance. The event followed closely after Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos was honoured with France’s prestigious Legion of Honour by President Emmanuel Macron.          Lily Collins brought humour and charm to the evening while addressing the playful political chatter sparked by the new season. With Emily’s journey briefly shifting to Rome before circling back to Paris, the move prompted light-hearted remarks from French President Emmanuel Macron and Rome mayor Roberto Gualtieri. Reacting to the unexpected attention, Collins quipped, “I never expected in a million years we would be a part of a European political love triangle.”          Darren Star added fuel to the excitement by teasing future surprises, especially after French First Lady Brigitte Macron’s cameo in Season 4. Hinting at what could come next, Star said, “I asked him, so let’s see what happens!” leaving fans speculating about possible high-profile appearances.                                                                      View this post on Instagram          A post shared by Lily Collins (@lilyjcollins)               Reflecting on the show’s journey, Ted Sarandos spoke about Emily in Paris becoming a global comfort watch after debuting in 2020 during the pandemic. “We were stuck at home, looking for connection and escapism, and Emily in Paris was just the ticket,” he said. He credited the series with reigniting audiences’ love for Paris and revealed that his wife Nicole is “one of Emily’s biggest fans.”          Collins also spoke about Emily Cooper’s growth over the seasons. She noted that Emily has evolved from a wide-eyed newcomer to someone more confident and open to vulnerability. “Letting go of perfection this season was really special,” Collins said, describing Season 5 as one that embraces emotional depth alongside glamour.                                                                 View this post on Instagram          A post shared by Lily Collins (@lilyjcollins)               Season 5 sees Collins return alongside Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Ashley Park, Lucas Bravo, Lucien Laviscount, Samuel Arnold, William Abadie and Bruno Gouery, with new cast members including Bryan Greenberg, Michèle Laroque and Minnie Driver.
