How does “Emily in Paris” compare to “Emily in Rome”

“The show is really about Emily’s relationship with Paris. So she has to discover what Paris means to her by going to other places,” Fleming shared. “She always comes back to Paris. But we shot a lot in Italy. We shot four episodes in Rome, then five in Paris, and then one in Venice. So half of the season was shot outside of France, which was huge for us.”

Emily finds herself in a The crossroads of the entire season.

“She wonders if this will be her new life. Work is always a challenge, but Rome is very romantic,” he continued. “Also, Marcelo has played a big role this season and Eugenho has been great. We’ve given him more to do this season and he’s really excelled at it. He’s really improved and really settled into the role.”

Find ways to improve Emily’s style

It wouldn’t be “Emily in Paris” if the protagonist’s costumes didn’t get their own attention.

“Her look is very different from previous seasons. It’s not a dramatic look. It’s that she’s dressing in a more refined, more European way. She’s trying to really feel herself and grow a little bit emotionally — but also in the way she dresses,” Fleming noted. “She’s having a funky spice moment and that’s really what’s happening. She looks good in it.”

How Pope News Affects Season 5

While Emily is in Paris filming season five, Rome is adjusting to the death of Pope Francis and the subsequent selection of Pope Leo XIV as his successor.

“It was great to be there when that happened. We were there every step of the way. We were there when the previous pope died, when the conclave was formed, when he was elected, when he was consecrated as the new pope,” the executive producer recalled. “We were there the whole time – really there. It was great. So many people came to the city. The city gets very congested, but Rome is already congested. For us, it was more exciting and fun than any problem.”

Bringing Mindy’s musical moments to life

“I would say that was probably the biggest challenge — the musical moment when Mindy sings ‘Espresso,’ because on the boat, we shot in one location. When she walks off the boat, we shot in a second location. When she walks into the party, that’s a third location,” Fleming shared. “It was a matter of choreographing the number. But we were shooting those three things on three different days, in three different locations. So there was a lot to keep track of.”

The technical details of Emily’s horseback riding date

According to Fleming, Emily’s date with Marcelo included “stunt doubles and these horses that were so good in the movie.”

Create Emily and Jake’s July 4th date

At that time, we also introduced Brian GreenbergJack, also known as an American, works at the embassy in Paris. Emily celebrates July 4th in style— take a detour The two strolled the aisles of their favorite American snacks.

“There were a lot of cool people who read the part, but Brian was so funny and charming and so quintessentially American,” Fleming said. “I visited the actual U.S. Embassy in France and saw something that I was inspired by. We created our own marketplace, and that marketplace was what we built. It was a lot of work to put so many American products into this little set. We built that set—I don’t even know how many products there were—but spent months calling every company and getting something back. The art department really outdid themselves on that set.”

Water sequence complexity

Marcello put in just as much effort behind the scenes as he tried to put together his first fashion show.

“It was the most complex scene we’d ever done on the show. You couldn’t just go in and flood a square in Venice, they wouldn’t let you. We had to find a place where we could build a reservoir in part of the square. It’s a real runway, that’s real water,” the director said. “But the rest of it was all digital. That was another overall challenge. But I would say that sequence was more work than any other sequence in all five seasons of the show.”

How Mindy’s proposal in Season 5 came about

“With four characters, a proposal and a twist of fate on a gondola that day, it was a challenge. I was really worried, but it went well,” Fleming told us. “What we did was actually mount the camera to the pod and put the actors in it. And off they went.”

He concluded: “I had a little monitor that I would run with. But I think they loved it because they were independent of us. They had to be at their best for the entire shoot. But it was a process.”
