In a shocking turn of events, the filming of the fifth season of Emily in Paris was marred by tragedy on August 21, 2025. Diego Borella, a 47-year-old assistant director on the show, passed away unexpectedly during filming at the historic Hotel Danieli in Venice.
Borella, a native of Venice, had a distinguished career in the industry, working as both a director and writer. His sudden death came as a shock to his colleagues and the cast, who are now working to complete the production, despite the shadow cast by his passing.
The production of Emily in Paris had commenced in Italy on August 15 and was scheduled to wrap by August 25. However, Borella's death brought a halt to the filming, with the cast and crew taking time to mourn and process the loss.
According to a local doctor, Borella died of a sudden heart attack. Paramount Television Studios confirmed his passing and offered their condolences to his family and loved ones.
