What time will Emily in Paris season 5 release on Netflix? Global release timings explored

After much anticipation, Netflix has finally announced the return date for the long-awaited Emily in Paris season 5 and it is not very far away.

Netflix Tudum, the official news site of the platform, has confirmed that the new season will be available for streaming starting from Wednesday, December 18, 2025.

The plot of the series takes a different direction this time around. Season 5 still has Paris in the background but it transports Emily’s character to Italy, with the storyline set in Rome and Venice.

A teaser and first-look photos have already been released by Netflix which gives the audience a glimpse into the new phase of Emily’s life.

Netflix has, like most of its original series, decided to release the new title for the whole world. In other words, the complete season will be made available at once to all the different regions of the earth.

It may appear a bit different in your area, but the fact is that every location gets to see it synchronously. Below is a plain summary of the release timing, the cast's particulars, and what the viewers will see next.
