And now Lucien Laviscount has taken up French lessons in real life ahead of the series’ anticipated fifth season.

The British actor, 32, aspires to be a francophone so he can incorporate it into his acting for the next series.

He told MailOnline: ‘I am learning French, I have been taking lessons. Paris is the best.

‘My French is getting better, but I’m not gonna give you anything until I’m really, really confident about it.’

Lily announced that the series had been renewed on Good Morning America in September last year.

Fans of her romantic comedy series expressed their excitement and surprise that she would be returning to her role as aspiring marketing executive Emily.

Some wrote: ‘What visa is she on?’, ‘For my mental health there should be a new season of Emily in Paris monthly’,

‘I want to watch a new season of Emily in Paris every year until I die’, ‘Oh yay my forever guilty pleasure’.

Despite mixed reviews from viewers about season four, which was split into two parts, it ranked number one on the Netflix Global Top 10 when it premiered in August.

According to Netflix’s site, Tudum, the series garnered ‘19.9M views in its first four days’ and reached the top ten in 93 countries.

‘We’re thrilled with the incredible response to this season of Emily in Paris and excited to return for a fifth to continue Emily’s adventures in Rome and Paris!’ creator Darren Star told the site.

In the last series, Emily still had strong feelings for Lucas Bravo’s Gabriel and Alfie. 

But Gabriel was expecting a baby with his ex Camille, and Alfie’s worst fears about Emily and Gabriel had been confirmed.

‘Emily and Gabriel’s chemistry is undeniable as they work together towards a Michelin star, but two big secrets threaten to undo everything they’ve dreamed of,’ a synopsis read.

‘As old patterns clash with new complications, Emily feels drawn to a potential new love interest… and a new city.’

In part two, Emily’s flight back to Chicago is cancelled.

And even though there’s no place like home for the holidays, she is stuck spending Christmas Eve with Gabriel and Camille’s family in Megève.

Emily’s new love interest Marcello, played by Eugenio Franceschini, makes his arrival soon after, and, following their first date in Paris, she goes to visit him in Rome.

The finale concludes with a great new opportunity for Emily: leading a Rome based office which Sylvie encourages Emily to take, not only to stay in beautiful Italy but to be closer to her new man.
