With filming of “Emily in Paris” season 5 now underway in France, Netflix has added a couple of new names to the cast of its hit show.
Bryan Greenberg, best known for “How to Make it in LA” and “The Mindy Project” and most recently seen in “Suits LA,” has joined the ongoing Parisian party and will play Jake, an American living in the French capital. Meanwhile, Michèle Laroque, a well-known and Cesar-nominated French actress and comedian known for films such as “Ma vie en Rose,” “Brillantissime” and “The Closet” will play Yvette, an old friend of Sylvie Grateau.
Greenberg and Laroque join fellow “Emily in Paris” newcomer Minnie Driver, who Variety announced has been cast in May and is set to play the royal Princess Jane.
Additional returning cast include Paul Forman (playing Nico), Arnaud Binard (Laurent G), alongside the previously confirmed Lily Collins (Emily Cooper), Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie), Ashley Park (Mindy Chen), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc), William Abadie (Antoine Lambert), Lucien Laviscount (Alfie), Eugenio Franceschini (Marcello) and Thalia Besson (Genevieve).
Season 5 kicked off filming in May in Rome and returned to the French capital in June. The story picks up days after Season 4 ends, as Emily settles into her apartment in Rome to run Agence Grateau’s Italian office and spend time with Marcello, the charming and confident heir of a family-owned cashmere company.
“Emily in Paris” was created by Darren Star, who also executive produces. Season 5 is executive produced by Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns, Andrew Fleming, Stephen Brown, Alison Brown, Robin Schiff, Grant Sloss and Joe Murphy. It’s produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, Darren Star Productions, and Jax Media.
