At first, it was expected that most of the season 4 cast would be returning for season 5 — this included leading lady Lily Collins, Ashley Park (who plays Mindy), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie), and Camille Razat (Camille).
However, on April 23, 2025, Razat shared a heartfelt post to Instagram announcing her departure from the show ahead of its fifth season. “After an incredible journey, I’ve made the decision to step away from Emily in Paris,” Razat captioned a carousel of photos with her castmates, including Collins, Park, and Bravo. “It has been a truly wonderful experience, one filled with growth, creativity, and unforgettable memories.”
Razat thanked Netflix and the crew behind the show for their “trust,” and hinted that while she may not be a part of season 5’s story, there may be potential for her character to return, thanks to the creative team “leaving the door open for her return.”
“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,” Razat wrote, noting that she just recently launched her own production company and also wrapped production on two upcoming series, Nero and The Lost Station Girls. “I leave the show with nothing but love and admiration for the cast, crew, and fans who have supported us along the way. Thank you for the beautiful ride.”
Though this news is heartbreaking, it’s comforting to know that we’ll see the return of recurring cast members Lucien Laviscount (Alfie), Thalia Besson (Genevieve), Samuel Arnold (Julien), and Bruno Gouery (Luc), William Abadie (Antoine Lambert), and the addition of Eugenio Franceschini, who plays Emily’s newest love interest Marcello Muratori. Paul Forman and Arnaud Binard will also return as Laurent G and Nico, respectively
Another cast member who won’t be returning for season 5 is Rupert Everett, who guest-starred as fashion designer Giorgio Barbieri in the season 4 finale. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Everett said he didn’t receive a call to return for season 5, despite having his hopes up.
“I did a scene in the latest season, and they told me, ‘Next year we’ll speak,’” Everett said. “I waited for them to call me — but ultimately, it never came, and they just fired me … For me, it was a tragedy. I was in bed for two weeks because I couldn’t get over it.” Teen Vogue reached out to Netflix for further clarification about Everett’s comments but did not immediately hear back.Rupert Everett as Giorgio Barbieri in episode ten of Emily in Paris season 4.
