Emily in Paris Ending With Season 6 on Netflix

After six years of berets, baguettes, and enough romantic entanglements to make your head spin, Emily in Paris is heading into its final chapter. Netflix confirmed on Thursday, May 21, that the beloved rom-com series will conclude with its upcoming sixth season — and production is already underway in Greece.

Lily Collins, who has played the endlessly optimistic Emily Cooper since the show’s 2020 debut, delivered the news directly to fans in a behind-the-scenes video posted to Instagram. “After six unforgettable years of playing Emily Cooper, I’m here to share that this upcoming sixth season will be our final,” the 37-year-old said. “Season 6 will bring you everything you love about the show and serve as the final chapter in Emily’s adventure of a lifetime. Our entire cast and crew are pouring our hearts into making this a fantastic farewell season, which we’re now filming. I can’t wait for all of the magic ahead, and to celebrate our final season with you in the most chic way yet. We’re so incredibly grateful and we love you all. À bientôt!”

Creator Darren Star was equally emotional in his statement. “Making Emily in Paris with this extraordinary cast and crew has been the trip of a lifetime,” he said. “As we embark on the final season, I am so grateful to Netflix, Paramount, and, most importantly, the fans who have taken this incredible journey with us. We can’t wait to share this last chapter with you. Thank you for letting us be a part of your lives, inspiring your dreams of travel and your love of Paris. We will always have Emily in Paris!”

Six seasons is a genuinely impressive run for any Netflix series, and the numbers back up why the streamer kept coming back. Seasons 1 through 5 have collectively spent 32 weeks on Netflix’s Global Top 10 list, reached No. 1 in 90 countries, and racked up over 250 million views between 2023 and 2025. The show has inspired fashion trends, spawned countless memes, and — perhaps most remarkably — has been credited with boosting tourism to France, earning praise from French President Emmanuel Macron himself.

Greece, Gabriel, and a Cliffhanger Six Seasons in the Making

The Greece setting isn’t random. Season 5 ended with a gut-punch of a final scene: Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) — Emily’s first love and the show’s most persistent “will they or won’t they” — sent her a postcard from Greece, asking her to come find him. Emily had just ended her relationship with Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini) after refusing to follow him to Italy, choosing Paris and her own future over yet another man’s plans. Season 5 also left Mindy (Ashley Park) newly engaged to Nicolas (Paul Forman) while clearly still carrying a torch for Alfie (Lucien Laviscount) — a love triangle that’s going nowhere fast.

Bravo, speaking to Us Weekly ahead of the announcement, was characteristically coy about what’s coming. “All we know is that we’re going to Greece and Monaco,” he said. “We have no script. I have no idea. I do want them to be happy and in love because they’ve been working on it for six or seven years now.” He added: “I hope it happens. I think some people want that, but whoever Emily ends up with will be the perfect choice because she knows better.”

Collins herself has been playfully evasive about the postcard plotline. “Does she get the postcard? I don’t know. Maybe she does. Maybe she doesn’t. I know we end up in Greece but I haven’t read anything. Things get lost in the mail,” she teased. “I’m happy when Emily’s happy.”

Star has been equally tantalizing. “They deserve each other. I hope so,” he said of Emily and Gabriel. “But I can’t promise. She’s got a lot of options out there — and some possible new options too.” Before Season 5, he also told The Hollywood Reporter that the season five finale clarified something essential about Emily: “I think ultimately Paris is where her heart was, and it clarified for her the fact that she wants to be in Paris and she wants to live there, and it’s not a temporary thing.”

Prior to the official announcement, Collins had also hinted to Elite Daily that Greece could serve multiple storylines at once — not just the Gabriel reunion. “The idea of Greece has also been teased for Mindy’s bachelorette,” she noted, referencing Mindy’s pitch for a Mykonos pre-wedding bash. “So there could be other reasons that Emily would go to Greece outside of Gabriel.”

What to Expect From the Final Season

Beyond Greece, Season 6 will also take the cast to Monaco before presumably circling back to Paris. The full ensemble is expected to return — Collins, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Ashley Park, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, William Abadie, and Lucien Laviscount — with Bravo likely stepping back into a much larger role now that Gabriel is the season’s gravitational center. Eugenio Franceschini’s Marcello, on the other hand, may be largely absent given that his relationship with Emily has run its course. Camille (Camille Razat) has already exited the show after Season 4.

The show’s origins are worth appreciating as it heads into the home stretch. Emily in Paris was originally ordered at Paramount Network in 2018, where it was meant to pair with Star’s TV Land dramedy Younger. It moved to Netflix before its first season ever aired, produced by what was then MTV Entertainment Studios — a studio that has since gone through two major mergers and is now Paramount Television Studios. The show that almost wasn’t has become one of Netflix’s most globally recognizable brands.

A premiere date hasn’t been confirmed, but based on the show’s production timeline — and the fact that Emily in Paris tends to have a relatively quick post-production window — a late 2026 drop feels like the most realistic target. Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos had already signaled the show’s return during the streamer’s Q3 2025 earnings call, listing it alongside Bridgerton, Outer Banks, and Ginny and Georgia as one of the big returning titles for 2026.

Emily in Paris also joins The Lincoln Lawyer and The Night Agent as Netflix series that have recently announced their final seasons — a quiet trend of the streamer wrapping up its longer-running hits on its own terms rather than letting them quietly fade.

For now, the cameras are rolling on sun-drenched Greek coastlines, the whole cast is back together, and six seasons of unresolved tension between Emily and Gabriel is finally headed somewhere definitive. As Star himself put it — we will always have Emily in Paris.
