No: the Netflix series Emily in Paris was not filmed in Rome. The show is set in Paris and centers on a Chicago marketing executive sent to a French firm, but principal photography took place primarily in Paris, with studio work and some European stand‑in footage completed elsewhere.
While certain episodes may reference Rome or feature limited Italian backdrops, the series has not produced on‑location shoots in Rome. Below is a status‑based breakdown of confirmed filming locations, production details, and why the rumor persists.
