One of the burning questions that Emily in Paris fans have regarding the upcoming season 5 is whether Lucien Laviscount will be returning as fan-favorite character Alfie in a regular capacity.
The actor joined the hit Netflix series as a recurring player during the second season where he was introduced as a potential new love interest for Emily. He was promoted as a series regular in the third season.
Lucien Laviscount Officially Returning in Emily in Paris Season 5

It was recently confirmed that Laviscount is rejoining the cast as a series regular in Emily in Paris season 5, reprising the fan-favorite role of Alfie.
He only returned as a recurring player in the fourth season due to scheduling conflicts and appeared in four episodes including the season premiere and finale.
Fortunately, in the upcoming season, we can expect Laviscount's Alfie to appear in a full-time capacity once again and perhaps stir another love triangle situation with Emily.
To recap, during the fourth season, Alfie admitted to Emily that he has a new girlfriend. He also encouraged Gabriel to go after Emily, who was contemplating moving to Rome with Marcello.
While the details regarding Alfie's storyline in the new seasons are still under wraps, this is exciting news for fans who are hoping to see more of the character.
What to Expect in Emily in Paris Season 5
The writing process for Emily in Paris season 5 is still ongoing, but production is slated to begin this April.
While most of the details regarding the upcoming season are under wraps, we know that we will see a lot of Emily spending time in Rome.
"Emily’s going to have a presence in Rome. It doesn’t mean she’s not going to be in Paris, but she’s going to have a presence in Rome," showrunner Darren Star teased to Tudum.
Lily Collins also shared what she is looking forward to in her character's storyline in the upcoming season.
"Marcello is a whole other adventure that we want for Emily because we ultimately want Emily to be able to have a better work/life balance. We want to have Emily be able to smile without condition. We want to see her beyond her vacay mode. And he comes at that perfect time," she said.
"I feel like they have a real spark and a real connection and a real romantic connection. A lot of that’s going to continue to play out next season."
