Ring the alarm! Netflix’s “most-awaited” romance series Emily in Paris has just dropped a major update ahead of its 10-part fifth season – and we couldn’t be more excited. The streamer has unveiled the official teaser and first-look photos ahead of its release on 18 December, showing Emily (Lily Collins) embarking on a new chapter – and a new romance – in the Eternal City of Rome. While the series has received mixed reviews from critics (it currently holds a 63% score on Rotten Tomatoes), it boasts a fiercely loyal fanbase. When Emily in Paris first premiered in August, it soared to number one on the Netflix Global Top 10, racking up 19.9 million views in its first four days.
