Emily in Paris Season 5 cast: Every character featured in the series and the actors behind them

Emily in Paris Season 5 cast updates keep the show’s “Paris job, messy love life” engine intact, but with a major twist. Emily in Paris Season 5 opens with Emily Cooper in Rome, where she is tasked with launching an Italian outpost for Agence Grateau. The move puts her between two cities and two love stories, as she is dating Marcello while still entangled with Gabriel. The season keeps returning to Paris, so Sylvie’s agency team remains essential, with Mindy, Julien, and Luc still driving the office dynamics.

Alfie and the JVMA world stay involved. Netflix released the full season in one drop, so all 10 episodes are streaming on Netflix as of December 18, 2025. This cast guide runs through every character confirmed for the season, along with the actors behind them, including their roles in the season, alma maters or training, and the earlier parts for which they are best known

Emily in Paris Season 5 cast: What Netflix and the creatives have emphasized about the season

The core promise of Emily in Paris Season 5 is movement without replacement. Rome creates fresh locations and new clients, but Paris stays essential because Agence Grateau still drives the workplace stories. Netflix has framed it as a two-city season, so the cast remains anchored in the familiar office ensemble while new characters plug into Sylvie’s wider world. As per the Netflix Tudum report dated Dec. 22, 2022, Gouery said,

“They [always] surprise us,” which fits the show’s habit of letting small character beats carry big shifts.
