Season 5 of “Emily in Paris” is set to debut on Netflix in December.
Diego Borella, an assistant director on the Netflix show “Emily in Paris,” has died.
The series was shooting in Venice at the Hotel Danieli when Borella, 47, reportedly collapsed in front of the crew.
Per La Repubblica, medics were unable to save him after showing up around 7 p.m. on Thursday. The outlet states Borella reportedly suffered a heart attack.
At the time, the show was shooting the final scene of Season 5.
Production on the last episode has allegedly been stopped. Originally, the shoot was set to wrap on Monday, Aug. 25.
Borella was reportedly on schedule to shoot the final scene before he collapsed.
The Post has reached out to Netflix for comment.
The Venice health service said, per The Independent, “Our ambulance arrived at 6:42 p.m. Medics made attempts to resuscitate him. But in the end all efforts proved fruitless. At around 7:30 p.m., he was pronounced deceased.”
Borella was born in Italy and worked in Rome, London and New York throughout his career.
Days before Borella’s death, Lily Collins, who stars as Emily Cooper, shared some behind-the-scenes shots from filming.
“Joy ride to and from work with the best…,” she captioned the pictures that included an image of her co-star Ashley Park.
All 10 episodes of Season 5 are set to debut on Netflix on December 18.
The fan-favorite series, created by Darren Star, follows Emily, an American marketing executive navigating her life in Paris.
However, new episodes will see the fashionista relocate from the French capital to Italy.
