But the City of Love didn't stray far from the mind, even in a brand-new country.
"Seeking stability, Emily leans into her French lifestyle until a big secret threatens one of her closest relationships," the release continued. "Tackling conflict with honesty, Emily emerges with deeper connections, renewed clarity and a readiness to embrace new possibilities."
As fans got another taste of Emily's très extravagant life, they were also introduced to new characters, like Minnie Driver's royally beautiful Princess Jane.
Looking back at season five, Lily reflected on the bold decision to move her character out of Paris.
"It was something so fresh and new," the 36-year-old told Deadline in 2024. "It really felt like season one with Emily going to Paris for the first time, with me going to Rome."
"I really felt like Emily, in a lot of ways, experiencing it," she continued. "It's an opportunity for Emily to let her hair down and turn on her vacation mode and really put her phone down more. A lot of this season is spent with Emily trying to figure out how to create a better work-life balance. That is part of her journey in that lesson."
