Emily In Paris season 6: key information

- Season 6 will be the last installment
- Releases on December 24, 2026
- Production underway and expected to wrap late September 2026
- Core cast is expected to return

Hooray! Emily in Paris season 6 was officially confirmed by Netflix on January 6, 2026 (you can catch up with the streamer's announcement video below). However, we now know that it will also be the last.

If you look at the numbers, a renewal was a no-brainer. Netflix has revealed that Emily In Paris season 5 amassed 26.8 million views globally in just 11 days after premiering, debuting at #2 in the Global Top 10 English TV list. The same season reached the top 10 in 91 countries and #1 in 24 (including France, Italy, Brazil and Germany).

Creator Darren Star said at a press conference before the release of season 5: "There’s a lot of places I’d love to visit. But I think the show organically [follows] the storyline. The show is Emily in Paris. It’s never going to permanently leave its home base. But if I can take the audience on a journey somewhere else, I would love that … [It’s] fun to think about.”

But after watching the season 5 ending, I've got my doubts about Paris being Emily's (Lily Collins) forever home. However, we're a long way off getting answers yet... here's everything we know about Emily in Paris season 6 so far.

Earlier than predicted, Emily in Paris season 6 will be released on December 24, 2026.

Filming began in May 2026, and is expected to wrap in late September 2026.

Collins also confirmed that season 6 will be the last in the below clip:

Common sense tells us that the following cast members will return for Emily in Paris season 6:

  • Lily Collins as Emily Cooper
  • Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie Grateau
  • Ashley Park as Mindy Chen
  • Lucas Bravo as Gabriel
  • Samuel Arnold as Julien
  • Bruno Gouery as Luc
  • William Abadie as Antoine Lambert
  • Lucien Laviscount as Alfie
  • Paul Forman as Nico
  • Arnaud Binard as Laurent G.
  • Minnie Driver as Princess Jane
  • Bryan Greenberg as Jake
  • Michèle Laroque as Yvette

There's more of a question mark over Eugenio Franceschini, who plays Marcello. As we saw in the season 5 finale, he and Emily seemingly broke up for good, but his budding fashion brand exists in partnership with Agence Grateau.

While it's unlikely that Emily and Marcello will cross paths again romantically, the door remains open for him to return in a professional capacity. The same can be said for his mother, Antonia (Anna Galiena).

Spoilers for Emily in Paris season 5 ahead.

Even before season 6 was renewed, the show's future was clearly set in up in the season 5 finale.

We're on the precipice of Emily and Gabriel possibly getting back together, so this would be the main storyline to follow through with. Bravo's absence from season 5 will be noticed by fans, so there will likely be a demand to get him back on screen as much as possible.

Now he's invited her to join him in Greece, we could see more continental travel in future episodes.

Our other main storyline to pick up is Jane's new role at Agence Grateau. The team could just about stomach her during their time in Rome, but now they're back on home turf, Jane's Italian connections are completely useless. Can Sylvie cope sharing her leadership, and will Jane's injection of cash cause more chaos than good?

Other B-plots to pick up with include Mindy's engagement to Nico, Marcello's solo business and Emily's journey to finally running her own office.

“I wanted the final season to feel like the biggest ‘Emily in Paris’ experience yet,” Star said in a statement.

“We went to multiple locations this season, and Greece was somewhere we really wanted to showcase in a spectacular way. That’s part of the fantasy of Europe: You’re always within reach of another extraordinary place, another culture, another adventure. I wanted the audience to have that vicarious experience of traveling right along with Emily.”
