Lily Collins’ Emily will meet a fellow American expat in the upcoming fifth season of Netflix’s hit comedy Emily In Paris. Bryan Greenberg (Suits LA) has joined the cast as recurring, playing Jake, an American living in Paris. Also set to recur in Season 5 is French actress Michèle Laroque (Better Days) who will play Yvette, an old friend of Sylvie’s (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu). Jake and Yvette are two of the three known new recurring characters that will be introduced next season, along with previously announced Princess Jane, played by Minnie Driver.
Additionally, confirmed to return for Season 5 are Paul Forman, who has been recurring since Season 3 as businessman, heir and Mindy’s love interest Nico, as well as Arnaud Binard, who has recurred since Season 2 as Sylvie’s husband Laurent G.
Nico’s return is particularly noteworthy given his painful breakup with Mindy (Ashley Park) at the end of Season 4, which left her heartbroken. Meanwhile, in addition to business issues, Sylvie and Lauren G may have to navigate her recent fling with an old flame in Rome.
Previously confirmed Emily In Paris Season 5 cast include Collins (Emily Cooper), Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie Grateau), Park (Mindy Chen), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc), William Abadie (Antoine Lambert), Lucien Laviscount (Alfie), Eugenio Franceschini (Marcello) and Thalia Besson (Genevieve).
Jake joins Emily and Genevieve, who was introduced last season, as the third major American character on the show next season; the most Emily In Paris has ever had at one time.
Currently filming in Paris after four weeks in Rome, Season 5 of Emily In Paris will premiere globally on Netflix in 2025.
“I think we’ve got a really terrific season coming up,” series creator Darren Star told Deadline last week.
Star executive produces with Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns, Andrew Fleming, Stephen Brown, Alison Brown, Robin Schiff, Grant Sloss and Joe Murphy. The series is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, Darren Star Productions, and Jax Media.
