Emily in Paris offered a solemn tribute to assistant director Diego Borella, who died during production on season 5. "In memory of Diego Borella," a title card read at the end of the season finale, which dropped on Netflix earlier this month. Us Weekly confirmed in August that Borella died at the age of 47 while the show filmed scenes in Venice, Italy. "We are deeply saddened to confirm the sudden passing of a member of the Emily in Paris production family," a spokesperson for Paramount Television Studios told Us in a statement.
