Ashley Park, known for her role as Mindy in the popular series ‘Emily in Paris,’ recently shared exclusive details with PEOPLE about the potential filming of the fifth season of the show. The 33-year-old actress hinted at the anticipation surrounding the upcoming season while discussing her association with Baileys and their new non-dairy liqueur made with oat milk.
Expressing her excitement, Park mentioned, “Let me tell you, I am highly anticipating [Emily in Paris]. It’s gonna be summertime and it’s gonna be in Europe, but I don’t even know what country at this point.” The Netflix series surprised fans in season 4 by relocating Emily (played by Lily Collins) to Rome, offering a refreshing change from the Parisian backdrop.
Park shared insights into the show’s unpredictable storyline development, stating, “The writers, you know, they kind of write as we go, and they see how the stories open up.” This approach keeps the cast on their toes and adds an element of spontaneity to the filming process.
As the cast prepares for potential filming in the upcoming season, Park welcomed the idea of shooting in sunny weather, a contrast from the cold winter setting of the previous season. She mentioned that filming in winter had its challenges, making the prospect of a summer shoot even more appealing.
While Park remained tight-lipped about specific plot details and character arcs for season 5, she expressed her love for European locations, particularly Italy and France. Her recent collaboration with Max Mara in Italy further fuelled her enthusiasm for filming in these picturesque settings.
Park’s character, Mindy, was involved in a love triangle in the previous season, adding an intriguing layer to the show’s dynamics. Fans are eager to discover how this storyline unfolds in the upcoming season, along with other character developments.
The renewal of ‘Emily in Paris’ for a fifth season was announced in September 2024, with Collins teasing a shift to Rome in an Instagram video. Park shared her hopes for Mindy’s character, emphasizing the importance of her finding happiness and stability in the new season amidst evolving relationships.
Collins also hinted at changes she’d like to see in her character, Emily, including putting her phone down more and exploring Italy further. With all four seasons of the show currently streaming on Netflix, fans eagerly await the next chapter in Emily’s journey and the charming escapades that await her in Europe.
As the cast gears up for potential summer filming in Europe, the anticipation among fans continues to grow for the fifth season of ‘Emily in Paris.’ With Park’s tease about the upcoming storyline and the show’s evolution, viewers can look forward to more drama, romance, and stunning European backdrops in the episodes to come.
