After years of love triangles, couture chaos, and dreamy European backdrops, Netflix’s Emily in Paris is officially coming to an end with its upcoming sixth season.
Production on the final season kicked off today in Greece, with star Lily Collins and creator Darren Star marking the bittersweet moment by sharing behind-the-scenes photos from set.
The picturesque filming location ties directly into the dramatic Season 5 finale, in which Gabriel, played by Lucas Bravo, sent Emily a postcard inviting her to meet him in Greece. Now, with Season 6 confirmed as the series’ final chapter, fans are already speculating that the long-running will-they-won’t-they romance could finally become endgame.
“Making Emily in Paris with this extraordinary cast and crew has been the trip of a lifetime,” Star shared in a statement. “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.”
Collins also addressed viewers in a heartfelt video message, teasing that the farewell season will deliver everything audiences love about the show.
“Season 6 will bring you everything you love about the show and serve as the final chapter in Emily’s adventure of a lifetime,” Collins said. “Our entire cast and crew are pouring our hearts into making this a fantastic farewell season.”
From Guilty Pleasure to Global Phenomenon
Since premiering in 2020, Emily in Paris has become one of Netflix’s biggest international hits. The romantic comedy spent 32 weeks in Netflix’s Global Top 10 and reportedly reached No. 1 in 90 countries.
Created by Star, the mind behind Sex and the City and Younger, the show followed Emily Cooper, a Chicago marketing executive whose unexpected move to Paris transformed her life through romance, friendship, and career ambition.
But beyond the romance and fashion, Emily in Paris also carved out a strong LGBTQ+ fanbase thanks to its increasingly queer storylines, fashion, camp, and themes of chosen family.
We’ll Miss You
One of the standout arcs in previous seasons has been the relationship between Camille (Camille Razat) and Sofia (Melia Kreiling). And how can we forget Julien, Emily’s stylish, fiercely ambitious co-worker at Agence Grateau (played by Samuel Arnold), is an openly gay character.
Ashley Park previously told Gayety why she believes audiences connect so deeply with the show’s emotional core.
“Emily and a lot of these characters are kind of fish out of water,” Park shared. “They’re put in an environment where they don’t have a community, and we really see these people open up to each other and find a home in each other.”
Fans Are Already Emotional
The announcement immediately sent fans into a meltdown online, especially given the possibility that Emily and Gabriel might finally find their way back to each other after seasons of heartbreak, mixed signals, and timing disasters.
And honestly? Ending the show in Greece with one last romantic escape feels exactly on brand for the glossy Netflix fantasy that turned croissants, couture, and complicated relationships into binge-watch gold.
Whether viewers watched for the fashion, the chaos, the romance, or the endless discourse over Emily’s love life, Emily in Paris leaves behind one of Netflix’s most iconic comfort shows of the streaming era.
