Emily In Paris has dropped a first look at the fifth series as bosses tease a potential exit from the show by a major character.

Netflix released the new trailer to fans on Wednesday ahead of the brand new season’s launch on December 18.

The clip shows Lily Collins‘s alter ego Emily as she adjusts to her new life in Rome with Eugenio Franceschini’s character Marcello.

Elsewhere, with Emily struggling settling in, Gabriel appears as the pair have a heart-to-heart.

The character, played by Lucas Bravo, tells her he’s excited by the future and she should be too.

He’s then seen boarding a train – with it not clear if he’s exploring Rome or returning to Paris.

It further fuels speculation Gabriel is being written out of the show following his split from Emily, after his absence from the initial trailer caused alarm amongst fans.

A synopsis for season five released by Netflix reads: ‘Now the head of Agence Grateau Rome, Emily faces professional and romantic challenges as she adapts to life in a new city.

‘But just as everything falls into place, a work idea backfires, and the fallout cascades into heartbreak and career setbacks. Seeking stability, Emily leans into her French lifestyle, until a big secret threatens one of her closest relationships.

‘Tackling conflict with honesty, Emily emerges with deeper connections, renewed clarity, and a readiness to embrace new possibilities.’

Earlier this year Camille Razat shocked fans by revealing she had quit the hit series.

The French actress, 31 – who plays Camille in the romantic comedy drama – took to Instagram to reveal the shocking news with an emotional goodbye post after fans fumed at bosses for ‘destroying the character’.

Camille has played Emily’s pal and love rival in the show since the programme hit the streaming service back in 2020.

Sharing various snaps from her time on the show, she wrote: ‘After an incredible journey, I’ve made the decision to step away from Emily in Paris.

Are YOU excited for Emily In Paris season five?

‘It has been a truly wonderful experience, one filled with growth, creativity, and unforgettable memories.

‘I’m deeply grateful to @starmandarren and the entire team at @netflix and @paramountpics for their trust and for giving me the opportunity to bring Camille to life and leaving the door open for her return, as she will always be a part of Emily In Paris world.

‘This character has meant a lot to me, and I feel that her storyline has naturally come to an end. It felt like the right moment to explore new horizons.

‘I’ve recently wrapped two series: Nero for Netflix and the Lost Station girls for Disney+. I’m also excited to share that I’ve launched my own production company, @tazar_production.

‘We mainly produce music videos and short films for now, but we’re currently developing our first feature film, something I’m truly passionate about and excited to grow.
