One major star fromEmily in Paris, Camille Razat, will not be returning for the show’s fifth season.
In the first season of the Netflix series, Razat’s character, Camille, becomes a guide for Emily (portrayed by Lily Collins), an American marketing executive who’s just moved to Paris. Their friendship goes on to have a few challenges, with Emily developing feelings for Camille’s boyfriend, Gabriel (portrayed by Lucas Bravo).
This all leads to one messy love triangle, which gets more complicated as the seasons continue. Often, Camille was viewed as the “villain” for how she sabotaged Emily’s relationship with Gabriel.
However, it turns out that Camille won’t be in the series anymore, since Razat’s name was missing from Netflix’s list of returning cast members. Her anticipated absence follows four seasons as a series regular on the show.
The Independent has contacted representatives for Netflix and Razat for comment.
During the fourth season, Camille deals with the aftermath of calling off her wedding to Gabriel after realizing he still has feelings for Emily. Camille is also pregnant with his child, causing friction in his relationship with Emily.
However, in the final episode of the season, she learns she had a false pregnancy and tries to convince Gabriel to adopt a child. Gabriel ultimately turns down the idea, and Camille moves out of his apartment.
Season five will feature Emily and some of her ex-boyfriends, including Gabriel and Alfie (portrayed by Lucien Laviscount). Also on the show’s cast list is Emily’s new Italian love interest Marcello, portrayed by Eugenio Franceschini. The season will begin in Rome, following Emily and Marcello’s romance.
Meanwhile, Ashley Park, who plays Emily’s best friend Mindy, is returning for season five, along with Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, who plays Emily’s boss, Sylvie. Antoine Lambert, Bruno Gouery, and Samuel Arnold, who all play characters that work with Emily, are also returning.
Although the details about season five remain under wraps, Variety reports that it will pick up days after Emily moves to Rome for her luxury marketing company’s Italian office. The second half of the season will be shot in Paris.

During an interview with Netflix’s Tudum in September, Collins talked about Emily’s new romantic interest.
“Marcello is a whole other adventure that we want for Emily because we ultimately want Emily to be able to have a better work/life balance,” she said. “We want to have Emily be able to smile without condition. We want to see her beyond her vacay mode. And he comes at that perfect time.”
Darren Star, the creator of the series, said that Emily’s move to Rome to run the new office was born from a desire to “stay ahead of the audience and take them to unexpected places” and prove that “the show has the ability to have a bigger footprint.”
He also said that fan favorite Gabriel is still in the picture, since season four ended with him realizing he made a mistake by breaking up with Emily. However, Marcello will definitely be a strong contender for Emily’s heart.
“I feel like they 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,” Star added.
