In an exciting development for fans of the hit Netflix series *Emily In Paris*, Lucien Laviscount will be returning as a series regular for the show’s fifth season. Laviscount portrays Alfie, a character known for his sharp wit and charmingly cynical outlook, who first appeared in Season 2 as a recurring character. His presence in the series has grown significantly, with his role evolving from a recurring cast member in Season 3 to a series regular, before returning to a recurring status in Season 4 due to scheduling conflicts.
Alfie’s Journey So Far
Alfie’s character has become increasingly pivotal in Emily’s romantic life. Season 4 saw him trying to mend fences with Emily (played by Lily Collins) after a dramatic turn of events at Camille and Gabriel’s wedding. Despite their rocky past, Alfie was ready to forgive Emily, only to witness her leaving the masquerade ball with Gabriel (Lucas Bravo). By the season finale, Alfie had seemingly moved on, hinting at a new relationship while encouraging Gabriel to pursue Emily as she settled into her new life in Rome.
What to Expect in Season 5
With Laviscount now back in a full-time capacity, fans are left wondering how his character will fit into the evolving narrative. The show has often juggled multiple romantic interests for Emily, and Alfie could very well re-enter the fray as a central figure in her love life. His role could also expand into a business associate of Antoine, intersecting with the lives of many main characters in the series.
Future of Other Characters
While Laviscount’s return is confirmed, questions loom over Lucas Bravo’s future as Gabriel. Bravo has expressed uncertainty about his character’s trajectory, leading to ongoing discussions about his return. Unlike typical U.S. television contracts, French actors like Bravo do not have multi-year options, which means he must negotiate his involvement season by season.
Production Updates
As for the production timeline, Season 5 of *Emily In Paris*, produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, is still in the writing phase, with filming expected to commence in April. Fans can anticipate more romantic escapades and dramatic twists as the beloved series continues to explore the complexities of love and friendship in the City of Light.
Lucien Laviscount’s Upcoming Projects
In addition to his return to *Emily In Paris*, Laviscount is making waves in the romantic comedy genre. He recently starred in *This Time Next Year*, a film based on Sophie Cousens’ bestselling novel, set to stream for free on Roku Channel ahead of Valentine’s Day. He is also slated to appear in *People We Meet on Vacation*, another adaptation of a popular romantic novel for Netflix.
With Laviscount rejoining the main cast and new storylines unfolding, Season 5 promises to be an exhilarating ride for fans of *Emily In Paris*.
