Ciao, Emily!

Netflix has released its first look at season 5 of Emily in Paris. The streamer also announced the fifth season of the show will release on Dec. 18.

This time around, Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) will be exploring not only France but also Italy, just as she did at the end of season 4. She will spend time in Rome once again and also take a visit to Venice for the first time.

“This season is a tale of two cities. Rome and Paris,” the show’s creator, Darren Star, told Netflix. “Straddling both, Emily takes love and life to the next level.”

The first-look photos find Emily exploring these cities as she travels with her new beau, Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini) and best friend, Mindy (Ashley Park).

Also returning for season 5 are Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie, Lucas Bravo as Gabriel, Samuel Arnold as Julien, Bruno Gouery as Luc, William Abadie as Antoine, Lucien Laviscount as Alfie and Thalia Besson as Genevieve.

Returning cast Paul Forman and Arnaud Binard will also appear in the season, playing Nico and Laurent G, respectively.

New cast members for season 5 include Bryan Greenberg, who plays Jake, an American living in Paris; Michèle Laroque, who plays Yvette, an old friend of Sylvie’s; and Minnie Driver, who plays Princess Jane, another friend of Sylvie’s who has married into a royal family.

“From Parisian rooftops to Roman ruins, we can’t wait to share where Emily’s next chapter takes us,” Star said.

Aubrey Plaza is opening up about her grief following the death of her late husband Jeff Baena earlier this year.

Plaza touched on the topic during a recent appearance on her former Parks and Recreation co-star Amy Poehler‘s podcast.

“I think, like, I’m OK. But you know, it’s like a daily struggle,” Plaza told Poehler.

Baena, a film director and screenwriter, died in January at the age of 47. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed Baena’s death to ABC News at the time and said Baena had died of suicide.

Plaza told Poehler that she felt “happy” to be recording the podcast together and was “grateful” to be alive.

“Right in this very, very present moment, I feel happy to be with you,” said Plaza. “I feel, overall, I’m here and I’m functioning — and I feel, you know, like I feel really grateful to be moving through the world.”

The 41-year-old also compared grief and loss to the 2025 thriller The Gorge, which starred Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy as two operatives who get sent to guard opposite sides of a mysterious gorge.

“In the movie … there’s a cliff on one side, and then there’s a cliff on the other side, and then there’s [a] gorge in between, and it’s filled with all these, like, monster people that are trying to get them,” Plaza explained. “I swear, when I watched it, I was like, ‘That feels like what my grief is like’ … or what grief could be like, where it’s like, at all times, there’s a giant ocean of just awfulness that’s, like, right there, and I can see it. And like, sometimes, I just want to just dive into it and just be in it. And then sometimes, I just look at it. And then sometimes, I’m like, I just try to get away from it, but it’s always there. It’s just always there, and the monster people are trying to get me, like Miles [Teller’s character].”

Ariana DeBose‘s mother, Gina Michelle DeBose, died Sunday morning “due to complications with stage 3 ovarian cancer,” the actress and singer said this week.

The West Side Story star took to Instagram on Tuesday, posting a carousel of photos and a tribute to her “gorgeous, hilarious, outspoken, warrior queen Mother.”

“I couldn’t be more proud of her and how she fought this insidious disease over the past 3 years. She was 57 years young,” DeBose wrote in the caption.

“She was my favorite person, my biggest fan and toughest critic. My best friend. She was my date to every important moment in my professional and personal life – and I wouldn’t have it any other way,” the post continued. “It had always been the two of us for as long as I can remember.”

DeBose said her mom “fought like hell to give me a good life, a good education and every opportunity in the world. I wouldn’t be where I am without her.”

The Academy Award winner recalled a moment from her 2022 Oscars acceptance speech — delivered after winning the award for best supporting actress for her role as Anita in West Side Story — writing, “I meant it when I said my Oscar ‘is just as much hers as it is mine.'”

DeBose also highlighted her mom’s purpose in life, to educate young people.

“She passed just shy of delivering 30 years of service as a public school teacher,” she wrote. “She was beloved and incredibly respected by her colleagues and students alike. The greatest advocate for the underdog, a believer in arts education and the smartest person I know – with a willingness to speak her mind regardless of the consequences.”

She added that her “greatest and most proud achievement will always be to have made her proud.”

In one of the carousel photos, DeBose left a detailed note outlining where people could donate in her mother’s memory.

“Details for a celebration of her life will be made available in the coming weeks,” the note read. “At this time, I ask that my family’s privacy be respected.”

A representative for DeBose did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request for comment.

Michelle Williams is sharing details about her newborn child.

The actress opened up about the birth of her fourth child during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday.

Williams and her husband, Thomas Kail, welcomed their third child, her fourth, through a surrogate earlier in 2025. During her appearance on the late-night show, guest host Tiffany Haddish complimented Williams on her figure, telling her it looks like she has never had any children.

“Then I’ve got to give a big shoutout to Christine, cause this last baby did not come through my body,” Williams said. “But the miracle of our little girl is thanks to Christine. Maybe you’re watching out there; thank you, Christine.”

She continued her praise of her surrogate, saying, “Thanks to Christine, I have three under 5 at home.”

These comments appear to be the first time Williams has confirmed the sex of her youngest child.

Williams had her first child, Matilda Rose Ledger, with the late Heath Ledger in October 2005. Her first child with Kail, named Hart Kail, was born in 2020. The married couple welcomed a second child in 2022 followed by this third child earlier in 2025. The names of their two youngest children have yet to be announced publicly.

The new Weasley family is nearly complete.

HBO has announced the actors who will play four of Ron Weasley’s siblings in its upcoming Harry Potter TV series. The network made the announcement in a post shared to Instagram on Tuesday.

“The Burrow is nearly full,” HBO captioned a selfie of Ron Weasley actor Alastair Stout and his new on-screen siblings.

There was no word on who will portray Bill, the eldest child in the Weasley family. Domhnall Gleeson played the character in the films.

HBO shared first-look photos of Dominic McLaughlin in costume as Harry Potter and Nick Frost in costume as Hagrid in July. The photos were shared the same week cameras officially started rolling on the series as it began production at the Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, England, the same location where all eight of the Harry Potter films were made.

McLaughlin leads the cast alongside Stout and Arabella Stanton, who will play Hermione Granger.

The upcoming HBO show is described as a faithful adaptation of the books by J.K. Rowling, who serves as an executive producer on the series. Multiple seasons of the show are planned, with each one bringing the Harry Potter characters on new adventures.

The Harry Potter series will premiere on HBO and HBO Max in 2027.

Are You My First?, a dating show about helping single virgins find “the one,” is now available to stream on Hulu.

Bachelor Nation alums Kaitlyn Bristowe and Colton Underwood host the one-of-a-kind series, which released all of its 10 episodes on Monday.

Bristowe said so many of her preconceptions about who the contestants were changed as the season started. Specifically, it was Rachael Staudt who really surprised her.

“I maybe had a preconceived notion of what she would be like, and she even said it. ‘I’m a bottle service girl, I work at a club, everyone assumes I’m this,'” Bristowe said. “She’s a beautiful human inside and out … we get to see her depth and that was really nice.”

Underwood agreed, saying he adores Staudt, before calling her brave for how she approached the show.

Staudt spoke about having vaginismus, a condition in which involuntary muscle spasms interfere with inserting things into the vagina, according to Medline Plus, during her time on the show.

Underwood said he was excited for the contestants to get to speak about the reasons for their virginity on their own terms.

“When my virgin storyline came up on Becca [Kufrin]’s season [of The Bachelorette], one, I didn’t want it to come up, and two, I was still working through when people would be like, ‘Well, why are you a virgin?’ And there really isn’t always just one answer. It’s so layered and there’s so much depth to it,” Underwood said. “I feel like these people came in with the, ‘I’m a virgin because X, Y, and Z,’ and they left with a whole new perspective of why they really are virgins. And they got to work through that in a safe environment, safe place with people who they shared that with.”
