Warning: spoilers for Emily in Paris season 5 ahead.

Goodbye Paris, hello Rome! Emily in Paris season 5 isn't really living up to its name at all this time with Emily (Lily Collins) making a fresh start in the Italian capital.

She's heading up the Rome office for Agence Grateau while settling into a new domestic life with Italian boyfriend Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini). However, the rest of her work team are hot on her heels, as if feels as though she's been mis-sold a dream.

That's before we even get to where Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) is in the hit Netflix show. He's still in Paris trying out a new menu, but as we saw in the season 4 finale, he's on his way to Rome to try and chase Emily down.

Is Emily's new life permanent, or just a very elaborate side quest? We've broken down the ending of Emily in Paris season 5 in full, alongside our predictions for where the show could head next.

Does Emily return to Paris in Emily in Paris season 5?

Indeed she does! Emily and the rest of the Agence Grateau crew head back home at the end of episode 4 after making the decision to close the Rome office.

Emily, Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), Luc (Bruno Gouery) and Julien (Samuel Arnold) fail to build up a luxury client base in Italy, especially when Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini) reveals that Muratori only partnered with Agence Grateau to try and get greater leverage on their deal with JVMA.
