When Netflix’s hit show “Emily in Paris” revealed at the end of season four that its lead character was heading to Rome, it caught many viewers by surprise. Now, French President Emmanuel Macron has waded into the conversation and said the country “will fight hard” to stop the show relocating to Italy’s capital.

French President Emmanuel Macron and the mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, recently had a hilarious back-and-forth over where 'Emily in Paris' should pick up for season 5.
