"Emily in Paris" Season 5 Begins Production

Yara Sameh
Production has begun on Lily Collins' much-anticipated fifth season of Netflix's 'Emily in Paris".
The giant streamer confirmed via Instagram, with the cast and crew soaking up la dolce vita before heading back to Paris later in the summer to wrap up filming. Creator Darren Star promises that while Rome will play a starring role, Paris remains Emily's home base.
Slated to premiere later this year on Netflix, Season 5 of the hit romantic comedy created by Darren Star is expected to give Emily Cooper (Collins) an embarrassment of riches when it comes to her love life, bringing back her two one-and-off boyfriends, the sexy French chef, Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and dashing Brit, Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), alongside her new Italian love interest, Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini).
While the production will be partly set in Rome, the key French cast will also return, notably Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu who plays Collins' chic and nonchalant boss Sylvie Grateau, Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc), William Abadie (Antoine Lambert), as well as Ashley Park who stars as Emily's best friend, Mindy Chen.
Some actors, however, won't be returning to the show, such as Camille Razat, who played Camille, the 'villain,' in the first four seasons of the show. The last season was marked by the arrival of a new sexy and deceitful antagonist, Geneviève, played by Thalia Besson (who happens to be the daughter of French director Luc Besson), but she hasn't yet signed on to be back.
The plot of Season 5 remains under wraps, but it is reported that Season 5 picks up days after Season 4 ends, as Emily settles into her beautiful apartment in Rome to run Agence Grateau's Italian office. Alfie has moved on with a new girlfriend after Emily chose Gabriel over him. But ultimately, Emily grows tired of Gabriel's ambiguous relationship with Camille and indecision, and starts flirting with Marcello Muratori, the charming and confident heir of a family-owned cashmere company in the picturesque fictional village of Solitano, near Rome.
Season 4 wraps with a cliffhanger as Gabriel, who's had an epiphany, surprises Emily by showing up on the doorstep of her new flat in Rome upon learning that she has relocated there.
Late last year, Bravo sparked some headlines after expressing his frustration over his 'Emily in Paris' character, Gabriel. While promoting Melanie Laurent's 'Freedom', in which he plays a notorious French gangster, Bravo told IndieWire that his character in 'Emily in Paris' had been 'slowly turned into guacamole.' 'The 'sexy chef' was very much part of me in Season 1, and we grew apart season after season because of the choices he makes and because of the direction they make him take. I've never been so far away from him,' Bravo said.
Yet, Bravo will be back, and so will Gabriel's Michelin-rated restaurant, which will be one of the backdrops of the upcoming season, which is currently being written, according to our intel. The actor's career has taken off in the past three years thanks to 'Emily in Paris.' He landed roles in 'Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris,' 'Tickets to Paradise,' 'The Honeymoon', and 'Freedom,' as well as Noemie Merlant's sexy genre movie 'The Balconettes.'
'Emily in Paris' Season 5 is executive produced by Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns, Andrew Fleming, Stephen Brown, Alison Brown, Robin Schiff, Grant Sloss and Joe Murphy. It's produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, Darren Star Productions, and Jax Media.
The impact of 'Emily in Paris' on popular culture and soft power has been such that French President Emmanuel Macron told Variety in a cover interview last October that France 'will fight hard' for the series to remain in the country. That declaration then provoked a lighthearted feud between the French President and the Rome mayor, Roberto Gualtieri.
"Emily in Paris" Season 5 will premiere on Netflix in sometime later in 2025.

4 Reasons Why We're Excited About ‘Katalog' Series

Just a few hours ago, the official trailer for one of the year's most anticipated series dropped, and it didn't take long before it started dominating conversations everywhere. With a surge of hype building ahead of its release on July 17, the buzz is real. Brought to you by Netflix and Magic Beans, the series stars Mohamed Farrag, Riham Abdel Ghafour, Bayoumy Fouad, Tara Emad, Ali El Bialy, Retal Abdel Aziz, Donia Sami, and more. From the trailer alone, it's clear this drama is set to keep audiences hooked. The storyline hints are intriguing, and here are four reasons why it's already made its way onto our must-watch list. Farrag's Powerful Portrayal of the Struggles of a Single Dad It looks like Mohamed Farrag's character is about to go through an emotional roller coaster as a single father of two. Balancing the lives of two children, each with different ages and needs, seems to be pulling him into an endless series of challenges. And from what we can tell, the catalog might just be his only source of guidance through it all, don't you think? From the Makers of Mawdoo3 3a2ely and Waafet Regala There's something very familiar about this series, a thread it shares with those two brilliantly admired productions. It falls into that unique space of emotional, human-driven dramas that almost feel like the kind of stories that resonate with everyone. Safe to say, it's shaping up to be a family-friendly watch with depth and heart. And with Ahmed El Ganainy and Magic Beans behind it, that's already a strong sign of quality and storytelling worth tuning in for. A Bold Take on Teen Challenges and Coming-of-Age Conflicts Whether it's their needs, their thoughts, or their impulsive decisions, teens are undoubtedly challenging to navigate on every level. Finding the right way to connect with and support them takes time, patience, and a lot of trial and error. This drama feels like it's offering the right dose of all that, a space to explore these layered conflicts, no matter which side of the story you find yourself on. A Brilliantly Cast Ensemble with Promising On-Screen Chemistry One of the strongest reasons to keep this drama on your radar is its brilliantly chosen cast, led by director Khaled El Halafawy. Bringing together Mohamed Farrag and Riham Abdel Ghafour in a story that weaves love, grief, and gratitude already feels like a recipe for powerful performances. The chemistry between the entire ensemble looks incredibly promising, and it's clear this cast is set to deliver something truly moving on screen.

Russell Crowe, Henry Cavill Reunite for "Highlander" Reboot

Yara Sameh Russell Crowe is set to reunite with his "Man of Steel" co-star Henry Cavill for the remake of 'Highlander.' The Oscar-winner is set to play Cavill's mentor in a variation on the part played by Sean Connery in the 1986 original film. 'John Wick' director Chad Stahelski will helm the remake from a script by Michael Finch ('John Wick: Chapter 4'). 'Highlander' is backed by Amazon MGM Studios and United Artists, which is run by former Netflix film chief Scott Stuber. The film will open theatrically. Crowe was one of the biggest stars of the late '90s and 00s, appearing in action-heavy roles in the likes of 'Gladiator' and 'Master & Commander,' and earning critical raves for more dramatic work in 'The Insider,' 'A Beautiful Mind,' and 'L.A. Confidential.' In recent years, he's taken on more character parts in the likes of 'Kraven the Hunter' or starred in lower-budgeted movies such as 'The Pope's Exorcist' and 'Sleeping Dogs.' Crowe is next slated to play Hermann Göring, one of Hitler's most trusted allies, in James Vanderbilt's 'Nuremberg,' which Sony Pictures Classics will release in November. He also recently wrapped work on Netflix's 'Unabom,' which looks at the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, as well as the Cold War thriller 'Billion Dollar Spy' and the action thriller 'Bear Country.' Stuber and Nick Nesbitt will produce 'Highlander' for United Artists alongside Neal H. Moritz, 87Eleven Entertainment, Stahelski's production banner, Josh Davis of Davis Panzer Productions, and Louise Rosner. United Artists has secured full rights to the 1986 original, which Lionsgate developed, with the potential to also develop a new series. The original film starred Christopher Lambert and centered on a group of nearly invincible, ageless warriors. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

Malika La Bendita Drops Single ‘Lejos De Mí'

Moroccan-French artist Malika La Bendita debuts with 'Lejos De Mí', a bold blend of North African spirit and Latin rhythm about walking away from emotional burnout and reclaiming your peace. Jun 21, 2025 Moroccan-French singer Malika La Bendita arrives with fire and clarity on her debut single 'Lejos De Mí', out June 20th, 2025. The track is a breakaway from emotional entanglement, a personal and political declaration of boundaries, healing, and soft power. Produced by Félix Dennery, the song blends Moroccan North African warmth with Latin percussive flair, laying the groundwork for what La Bendita calls her signature sound. Lyrically, she dismantles the 'saviour' archetype, choosing freedom over emotional labor, and peace over performance. This debut puts Malika La Bendita firmly on the radar as one of the most emotionally intelligent new voices from the region.
