Lucas Bravo may not return for “Emily in Paris” Season 5.

Lucas Bravo is getting candid about his thoughts on the direction he'll take Emily in Paris the character, Gabriel, will leave.

The actor had already said it The Hollywood journalist that he hoped for growth for Gabriel in the fifth season of the Netflix series because “he made some choices that made me distance myself from him. We were very similar in the first season, but now I really don't know. I think I feel like he needs to get himself together.

In a more recent conversation with IndieWire linked to his next film Freedom by Mélanie Laurent, the Ticket to Paradise the actor expanded on this sentiment, explaining that he's not very proud of the choices the “sexy chef” has made.

“I was never that far away from him,” Bravo told the publication. “Because they made him kind of unaware of his surroundings, of the dynamic, always victimized and always completely lost in translation and unaware of everything that was going on around him and manipulated by everyone, it became no fun for me to shoot or seeing a character that I love so much, and who has brought me so much, slowly turn into guacamole.

He shared that he tried to express his concerns about the character and give input during production, but there is only so much that can be done within the constraints of the script. The Hollywood journalist has reached out to Netflix for comment.

“I've tried for seasons to bring nuance, but we don't have a lot of freedom on set,” he said. “We can't change a word or an emotion. They know what they want and we just have to obey.”

Bravo Emily in Paris The contract expired at the end of the fourth season, he said IndieWireso he admitted that his issues with Gabriel's trajectory have made him “question” whether he wants to return for Emily in Paris fifth season.

“I really want to see if Gabriel goes back to his fun, cheeky, playful, alive self,” she said Mrs. Harris goes to Paris Stella continued. “Because three seasons played melancholy, sad, depressed and lost is no longer funny. It's a comedy, everyone around me is having fun, everyone is jumping around and I'm slowly sinking into God knows what.

Bravo explained that perhaps Netflix and Darren Star might be reluctant to change the dynamic of the show due to its success, so they're “very precious” about not changing anything — or, if they do change something, they quickly roll it back. “There is a lack of risk,” he said.

Despite his concerns about Gabriel's path and Emily in Paris, overall, he knows he owes his career to the show, and that it still means a lot to him.

“I love the show and the people in it,” she said. “I feel like I'm not kind or grateful, but when you love something you want it to be… you want the best version of it. I'm not going to lie, I'm frustrated with the direction my character is taking. But we'll see where it goes. The show isn't over.”
