The fifth season of the American television series Caprice & Ella is slated to begin in the fall of 2023. This will be the first full season to feature Donna Doogan, Jackson Doogan, Rachael Passalt and Karly Jameson to the main cast. It is potentially the last season to feature "Theme from MacGyver" as series creator and executive producer Ava Zinn considers changing the theme song to either "Faces of the Heart" by Dave Koz, "Bad Kitty (Caprice & Ella version)" by Liz Phair, or keep "Theme from MacGyver" by Randy Edelman.
