Emily in Paris’ season four finale (warning: spoilers ahead!) ended on quite an uplifting note, with Emily moving to Rome for the near future to run Agence Grateau’s Italian office, and a promising new romance with Marcello Muratori. The same optimistic ending was true for her BFF, Mindy, who appeared to have a new hit song on her hands and an invite to become a judge on Chinese Pop Star. (Hey, sometimes getting disqualified from Eurovision and breaking up with Nico can result in some great things!)
Meanwhile, Gabriel was awarded a Michelin star (anyone else totally surprised at how fast that happened?), Alfie found happiness with a mysterious new girlfriend, and Sylvie landed a major account with the Muratori family (okay, so it’s only a six-month trial run, but still). And yes, Gabriel now wants Emily back after her sweet gesture speaking French, but complicated relationships are Emily in Paris’s thing, so bring it on.
Still, Netflix actually has to renew Emily in Paris first — and assuming it will — we Zoomed with creator Darren Star from Rome to get the lowdown on all those developments in the season four finale while looking ahead to what’s next for your favourite Parisian — and Italian – crew.

Glamour: Has the Rome Tourism Board said they’d like to have you back for season five?
Darren Star: Well, not specifically the Rome Tourism Board. First, we’re waiting for Netflix to let us know about that.
If Netflix knows what’s good for them, they will say yes. And assuming they do, should we plan for more Emily in Rome, especially since one of the final scenes calls back to the pilot when Emily first arrived in Paris?
Yeah, I think we will definitely see more Emily in Rome if we have a season five. Emily [is now] there. There’s an office, and I think the story is taking us there for the moment. So we will spend more time in Italy, but it doesn’t mean we’re leaving Paris.
