The Netflix show titled “Emily in Paris,” starring Lily Collins as Emily Cooper, a marketing executive who moves to Paris for work, has captured the hearts of viewers worldwide since its premiere. Known for its blend of romance, comedy, and high fashion against the beautiful French capital backdrop, the series has become a significant success on Netflix, appreciated for its escape-like charm and engaging cast. As production continues for Season 5, which takes Emily’s story to Italy, filming in Venice was unfortunately marred by tragedy with the passing of crew member Diego Borella, an Italian professional serving as third assistant director for the new season.
On Thursday, August 21st, during filming in Venice, actor Borella, aged 47, experienced a sudden medical emergency, believed to be a heart attack, while preparing for the final scene of the day at the historic Hotel Danieli. Despite immediate attempts by on-site medical personnel to revive him, their efforts proved fruitless, and Borella was declared deceased around 7:00 p.m. local time. In the aftermath of this tragic event, production on the series momentarily halted.
As a movie reviewer, it’s with a heavy heart that I share the shocking news of the untimely demise of a cherished member of the Emily in Paris production team. My thoughts and prayers are with their family and friends as they navigate through this challenging period.

The official summary hints that as Emily adjusts to life in a different city, a work idea fails, resulting in both professional setbacks and emotional pain. Venice will serve as a significant filming location throughout the season, further expanding Emily’s European escapades. However, creator Darren Star has reassured fans that despite the Italian focus, the show will continue to revolve around Emily’s bond with France, emphasizing it is not a permanent relocation.
