Should we always say “Emily In Paris” or from now on « Emily In Roma » ou « Emily in Italy » ? Doubt is allowed after the end of season 4 and the first teaser of the fifth season released by Netflix on September 16.

The scathing response from the mayor of Rome

An outing which greatly displeased Roberto Gualtieri, the mayor of Rome. “Dear Emmanuel, don’t worry: Emily is very happy in Rome. And then the heart cannot be controlled: let her choose,” he wrote on his X account, before being much more virulent in the columns of Hollywood Reporter.

I would like to believe, at least I would like to hope, that Macron was joking, because he should know that a production company like Netflix does not take orders from heads of state and does not make decisions based on political pressure .

“I’m super proud of her”

During his interview at VarietyEmmanuel Macron also returned to the short stint of his wife Brigitte in the series. “I was super proud, and she was very happy to do it. It’s only a few minutes, but I think it was a really good moment for her,” he explained.

Before quickly resuming his head of state costumes and measuring the scope of this appearance. “I think it’s good for the image of France. Emily in Paris is super positive in terms of attractiveness for the country. For my own business, this is a very good initiative. »
