The decision comes just as filming for the new season is expected to commence, with Razat confirming that she will not be reprising her role as the stylish and complex Camille, as per a report by Digital Spy.
“A Wonderful Experience”: Razat Reflects on Her Departure
Taking to social media, Razat confirmed her exit, stating, “After an incredible journey, I’ve made the decision to step away from Emily in Paris.”
She described the series as an unforgettable experience marked by “growth, creativity, and memories.”
Razat, who has played the role of Camille since the show’s debut in 2020, thanked series creator Darren Star, as well as production houses Netflix and Paramount, for the opportunity.
She also left the door open to a possible return in the future, adding, “She will always be a part of the Emily in Paris world.”
Camille’s Storyline Reaches Its Natural Conclusion
The actress noted that her character’s journey had come to a “natural end” after a dramatic and often turbulent arc spanning four seasons. Initially introduced as the girlfriend of Gabriel, Camille evolved into a fan-favorite character known for her emotional complexity and fluid sexuality.
Emily in Paris Season 5 will now proceed without one of its original stars, marking a new chapter for the globally popular romantic comedy.
Razat added, “This character has meant a lot to me, and I feel that her storyline has naturally come to an end. It felt like the right moment to explore new horizons”, as quoted in the Digital Spy report.
She confirmed upcoming roles in Netflix’s Nero and Disney+’s Les Disparues de la Gare, and shared news of launching her own production company, Tazar Production.
Emotional Farewells From Cast Members
Razat’s announcement drew heartfelt reactions from co-stars. Lead actress Lily Collins responded, “Love you sister. It’s been a wild ride and an absolute pleasure.”
Fellow cast member Ashley Park wrote, “Love you so much, always proud of you.” Actor Bruno Gouery, who plays Luc, added, “We’ll miss you.”
Paul Forman, who portrays Camille’s on-screen brother Nicolas, applauded her work: “You brought Camille to life with such depth and elegance!”
Meanwhile, Melia Kreiling, who played Camille’s partner Sofia, affectionately remarked, “Love you, you’re forever my favorite French kisser!”
A Complicated Yet Memorable Role
Camille’s character has been central to some of the show’s most dramatic plotlines—from her romantic entanglements with Gabriel and Emily to her on-again, off-again relationship with Sofia.
In Season 4, her arc took a poignant turn as Camille faced heartbreak and ultimately chose to leave Paris in search of a healthier life.
