Is Emily in Paris on OSN+, Prime Video or Other Platforms?

Short answer: no – at least not in the way you probably want.

Emily in Paris is a Netflix original series, produced for and distributed by Netflix, and it streams there worldwide, including the UAE.

You might see the show listed on places like Apple’s TV app, but those are basically “guides” that deep-link you back to Netflix; you still need a Netflix subscription to actually watch the episodes.

So for UAE viewers:

Not available on OSN+
Not available on StarzPlay, Disney+ or Prime Video as part of their normal catalogues
The legal, full-season streaming home is Netflix only

What Is Emily in Paris About?

Emily in Paris is an American romantic comedy-drama created by Darren Star (of Sex and the City), starring Lily Collins as Emily Cooper. She’s a 20-something marketing exec from Chicago who moves to Paris to bring an “American” social media and branding POV to a French agency.

Across the seasons you get:

Fish-out-of-water culture clashes and language mishaps
Work drama with her demanding boss Sylvie and chaotic clients
A central on-off romance with chef Gabriel, plus other love interests
Heavy emphasis on fashion, travel, food and aspirational lifestyle

Season 5 keeps the same rom-com energy but expands the setting to Rome and Venice as Emily is sent to help lead Agence Grateau’s Italian office and navigates new romantic and professional challenges. Creator Darren Star calls it a “tale of two cities: Rome and Paris”, with Emily taking “love and life to the next level.”

How Many Seasons and Episodes Are There?

As of December 2025:

Seasons available now: 4
Episodes: 40 total (10 per season)
Season 5:
- Premiere date: 18 December 2025 (including in the UAE)
- Episode count: 10 episodes released together in one batch

Episodes usually run between around 25–45 minutes depending on the season, so it’s very binge-friendly.

In What Order Should You Watch Emily in Paris?

This one is simple: everything is strictly chronological.

Season 1 – Emily moves from Chicago to Paris, joins Savoir, meets Gabriel, Mindy, Sylvie and the rest of the core cast.
Season 2 – Love triangle chaos ramps up, Mindy’s music story grows, Emily’s work life gets more complicated.
Season 3 – Career choices, bigger campaigns and messier relationships; Emily’s fashion and confidence level up.
Season 4 (Parts 1 & 2) – Split release; more Italian settings appear, setting up a move beyond Paris.
Season 5 – The “Rome chapter”, officially described as a tale of two cities: Rome and Paris, with Emily now heading Agence Grateau Rome and in a new relationship with Italian cashmere mogul Marcello.

There are no spin-offs, specials or movies you need to worry about. Just run straight through Seasons 1–5 on Netflix.

What’s New in Emily in Paris Season 5?

Season 5 keeps the familiar tone but evolves a few things:

New base in Rome: Emily is sent to the new Agence Grateau Rome office, juggling campaigns across Italy while still tied to Paris.
New romance: She’s now with Marcello Muratori, a cashmere magnate, while still emotionally processing her past with Gabriel.
Matured fashion: The costume designer describes a more grounded, Italian-inspired wardrobe – fewer gimmicks, more sophistication, though still very extra.
More emotionally grounded stories: Both Star and Collins talk about Season 5 as “bigger, richer, deeper,” with relationships feeling more mature and Emily herself “bolder, braver, stronger and more adventurous.”
