While an official renewal of the Netflix comedy-drama series has not yet been announced, an extra role for season five was auctioned off at an event in Cannes. The winning bidder will also attend the fourth season premiere in August.
The Netflix series, starring Lily Collins, Ashley Park, Philippine Leroy Beaulieu, Lucas Bravo, Samuel Arnold, Camille Razat, Bruno Gouery, Kate Walsh and William Abadie, follows an American named Emily (Collins) after she moves to Paris for a job.
Variety said the following about the auction:
"The winner of the auction shelled out €250,000 to appear in the series as well as the chance to attend the Season 4 premiere in Los Angeles. Harlow and Jackson also said that Season 5 of the popular series is scheduled to begin shooting in mid 2025.
However, an individual with knowledge of the situation says that Netflix has not in fact greenlit another season of Emily in Paris. According to the official amfAR auction website, the walk-on role came “Courtesy of Darren Star,” the creator of the series. The website was recently updated to state that the winning bid “will have the opportunity to spend a day on set in Paris during filming, contingent upon season 5 pickup.”
The original language, which was also featured in the official auction booklet and can be seen below, did not mention the “contingent” aspect, but rather indicated a fifth season was already in the works.
The first half of season four of Emily in Paris drops on Thursday, August 15. The second half comes a month later, on Thursday, September 12.
