The show, which follows Emily Cooper (Collins) on her work and romance mishaps in Paris, and, more recently, Rome, has been a hit on Netflix.
When Season 4 Part 1 dropped in August, it secured nearly 20 million views within a week.
"We're thrilled with the incredible response to this season of Emily in Paris and excited to return for a fifth to continue Emily's adventures in Rome and Paris!" said Darren Star ( Sex and the City ), the show's creator told Netflix's Tudum .

Season 4 oscillates between Paris and Rome. Emily ultimately moves to the Eternal City for work and entertains a new love interest , Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini), while Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) realizes he isn't ready to let go of their relationship.
"Emily's going to have a presence in Rome. It doesn't mean she's not going to be in Paris, but she's going to have a presence in Rome," Star said.

He added: "I feel like they (Emily and Marcello) have a real spark and a real connection and a real romantic connection. A lot of that's going to continue to play out next season.
Emily in Paris director Andrew Fleming said the show's new location was a "breath of fresh air," not just for Emily, but for the team, as well.

"I think at its core, the DNA of the show is this idea, and it's a fantasy, but it's also just this kind of human hope, which is that I could always pick up and go to a new place and start a new job and have a new life," he told Entertainment Weekly .
Season 4 is now on Netflix.
