The Emily in Paris Season 5 Trailer Will Make You Feel Fireworks

A whole new spin around the City of Love — and Rome — is on the way.

Grab the champagne — Emily in Paris Season 5 is on the way. Or should we say, pop the prosecco? As the just-released trailer confirms, the fizzy heroine Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) is taking a detour from her beloved French city in favor of fair Rome, Italy.

Last season, Emily’s boss, Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), asked her to open up a new Agence Grateau office in the Eternal City. The clip, seen above, reveals that the rom-com’s leading lady will mean business when Emily in Paris returns on Dec. 18. Emily’s got a new man (Eugenio Franceschini as cashmere mogul Marcello Muratori), new obstacles, and a dolce new outlook.

“She’s bolder, braver, stronger, and more adventurous,” Collins says. “She’s in a new city and a new country, figuring out her life, love, and work.”

While Emily applies her usual can-do attitude to her latest chapter, the trailer hints at some growing pains ahead. Marcello may be so enamored with Emily that he’s flirting in meetings, but his mother Antonia (Anna Galiena), is less than impressed by the American marketing exec’s ideas. At least Emily has a sleek new look that combines her Italian escapades and French savoir faire — and keeps her walking tall in her stilettos.

“The new look feels like her way of saying, ‘I’ve matured, I’m taking myself more seriously — so please take me seriously, too’ — while also embracing the idea of taking life itself a little less seriously,” Collins says. “There’s a sense of her letting go — literally and figuratively — of some of the weight she’s carried. She’s living life a bit more freely and carelessly, even if she still has her stressful moments.”

All of this growth has Emily in Paris creator and executive producer Darren Star calling the adventure ahead “one of [his] favorite seasons” of the series. “The story feels very fresh to me,” he says. “The relationships feel more mature this season, and I think there’s a lot for the entire ensemble to do.”

In the trailer, we get a peek at what “bigger and richer and deeper” stories Star has cooked up for Emily in Paris’s sprawling cast. Mindy (Ashley Park) and Alfie (Lucien Laviscount) share loaded glances back in Paris. Sylvie shows her soft side. And, Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) looks toward “the future.” 

So what does destiny have in store for Emily in Paris? Find out when Season 5 premieres on Dec. 18 on Netflix.

Emily trades bonjour for buongiorno as she seeks to reinvent herself in Rome, but when love, career and loyalty collide, la dolce vita gets complicated.

Paramount Plots New Course for ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’; 'The Last Ronin' Movie Put On Hold; 'Mutant Mayhem 3' In Discussions

The producer behind the studio's hit Sonic the Hedgehog franchise will take a four-quadrant approach to the Heroes in a Half Shell.

Cowabaunga, dudes, it looks like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have a brand-new sensei.

Neal H. Moritz, the veteran producer behind The Fast and the Furious franchise, is in negotiations to take on the job of restarting TMNT as a live-action film franchise for Paramount Pictures. Toby Ascher, who works with Moritz at their Original Films banner, will also act as a producer. Update (12/6): A hybrid live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is currently slated to be released on Friday, November 17, 2028!

The move occurs as the Skydance-owned studio is taking a magnifying glass to its slate and existing IP. As opposed to some other titles, namely Transformers or G.I. Joe, Paramount fully owns the TMNT brand, having picked it up from co-creator Peter Laird in 2009, and is seeking to fully unlock its potential.

There hasn’t been a live-action (or live-action/CG animation hybrid) feature since the mid-2010s, when Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows had a lackluster performance at the box office, stopping the film franchise in its tracks. The studio pivoted to animation and instead made Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, released in 2023 to great critical acclaim.

New Paramount has already been shaking up TMNT and its TV media division, and recently put Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a spinoff of Mutant Mayhem which serves as a bridge between the first movie and its upcoming sequel, currently slated to be released in 2027, down the sewer, shutting down the series in the middle of production earlier this fall. “This is not the vision the owners want,” was the reason given to those working on the show. Showrunner Christopher Yost confirmed the cancellation on Threads, saying “the upcoming episodes of Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will sadly be the last. Luckily, they’re our best episodes yet.” The new season streams Friday, December 12 on Paramount+, and will have its linear premiere on Nicktoons next year.

At the same time, The Last Ronin, another TMNT live-action/CG animation hybrid project that was in development, has been put back in the pizza box, according to sources. That project, based on IDW's critically-acclaimed comic series, was being developed as an R-rated feature, and had Nobody filmmaker Ilya Naishuller in talks to direct, but the new regime wasn’t keen on having the first non-animated movie in 10 years be a bloody, adult-skewing story. One insider told The Hollywood Reporter that the studio wants to leave the door open to possibly revisit it down the road.  

The sequel to Mutant Mayhem, being produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg and directed by Jeff Rowe, is still set for a Sept. 17, 2027 release. Update (12/6): Sources have told The Hollywood Reporter that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 3 is even being discussed by Paramount with Rogen and his Point Grey Pictures.

io9 caught up with Rowe, who stated that as of now, he hasn't heard anything about impacts to his upcoming sequel and that he's confident that the two projects can coexist, citing examples of Tom Holland's MCU Spider-Man movies existing alongside the Spider-Verse films.

"No one’s called me and told me anything yet," Rowe told the site. 

He continued, "It seems like we’re moving into a world where maybe multiple things can coexist. And, you know, there was a time when there were live-action Spider-Man movies being made at the same time as Spider-Verse. I love these characters and welcome as many takes on the franchise as people are willing to put out there."

With the feature film’s release still almost two years away, though, it sounds like things are in very good shape. “There are a lot of parts that are now going into animation,” Rowe said. “And I think the film will be fully animated by the middle of next year. Then we’re going to be lighting and comping and just working every day to put as much quality on screen as we can.”

As for when we might learn more about the film, like what it’s called and what it’s about, Rowe didn’t know. “We’ll see what the marketing department thinks is best,” he said. “But I think there’s some internal excitement about it. And I’m excited for the world to see it.”

Multiple sources say Paramount wants to “Sonic-fy” the TMNT franchise. Sonic the Hedgehog is a three-movie (and counting) hit franchise for Paramount that is based on the popular SEGA video game. The movies are live-action/hybrids and play very well to the all-ages, four-quadrant crowd and have become a $1 billion-plus franchise for the studio. And they happen to be produced by Moritz.

“If you want Sonic, you go to the guy who did Sonic,” one insider told THR.

'Max & the Midknights' Renewed For Season Two

Nickelodeon’s CG-animated series Max & the Midknights has been renewed for a 10-episode second season! The news was revealed by Paramount Global Content Distribution! Based on the best-selling children's books by acclaimed author and cartoonist Lincoln Peirce (Big Nate), the show follows Max, a determined 10-year-old girl with big dreams of becoming a knight, as she leads her friends on epic adventures filled with excitement, bravery, and lots of fun.

'Max & the Midknights' season one key art

Update (9/10/25) - Nickelodeon reportedly randomly premiered Max & the Midknights season two on Monday, September 8 at 3:55 a.m. (ET/PT)* on Nicktoons. It's currently unknown whether it was an error, as no more episodes are currently scheduled to air. Details of the season two premiere episode can be found below:

So Slayeth the Prophecy: Max comes face-to-face with an imprisoned dragon and is forced to decide between slaying the dragon to fulfil the prophecy, or doing the right thing and freeing him, even if it means putting her dreams of becoming a knight.

* This makes the premiere part of Sunday, September 7's broadcast day.

Max & the Midknights made its debut on Nickelodeon on October 10, 2024 following a sneak peek on YouTube in June, with the show's first 10-episode season airing weekly.

'Max & the Midknights' Series Information

Throughout the show's freshman series, Max leads the rest of the Midknights on challenging quests filled with all-new original songs. After King Gastley steals the throne and forces an unjust rule on the Kingdom of Byjovia, Max must come to the rescue to overthrow the power-hungry foe. With her friends and Uncle Budrick by her side, Max’s courageous spirit won’t back down no matter how difficult the quest gets.

The voice cast behind the Midknights, a group of misfits each with their own unique talent, include: Blu del Barrio (Star Trek: Discovery) as Max, a brave and determined girl ready to take on any challenge headed her way; Melissa VillaseΓ±or (Saturday Night Live) as Millie, a wacky yet super positive girl who brings the power of magic to the Midknights; Zeno Robinson (Transformers: EarthSpark) as Simon, Millie’s street-savvy and sometimes sarcastic companion; and Caleb Yen (Beyblade X) as Kevyn, the bookish genius with a photographic memory. Together, the group accomplishes nearly everything that they set their mind to achieve.


Alongside the Midknights, Jeremy Rowley (iCarly) lends his voice as Uncle Budrick, Max’s lovably silly parental figure and professional troubadour, Gary Anthony Williams (Central Park) voices Mumblin, a famous retired magician who helps guide the Midknights on their quests, Brian Stepanek (The Loud House) voices King Gastley, the nefarious ruler of Byjovia, willing to do whatever it takes to maintain his throne, and India de Beaufort (It’s Pony) voices Fendra, a dark sorceress working for King Gastley.

Produced by Nickelodeon Animation in Burbank, Max & the Midknights is executive produced by Lincoln Peirce (Big Nate) and Jane Startz (Ella Enchanted). Sharon Flynn (All Hail King Julien) and David Skelly (Toy Story 2) serve as co-executive producers and showrunners. Development and production is overseen by Claudia Spinelli, Senior Vice President, TV Series Animation, Nickelodeon, Nathan Schram, Vice President, Development, Nickelodeon Animation, and Stephanie Alpert, Vice President, Production, Nickelodeon Animation.

Max & the Midknights (Music from the Series), an album featuring songs from Nickelodeon's original animated series is available to listen to today through Republic Records: Kids & Family.
