Netflix has officially greenlit a sixth season of its hit romantic comedy Emily in Paris, with a release date set for August 2026. The announcement comes just days after Season 5’s December 18 premiere, which drew massive viewership and sparked immediate fan demand for more. Creator Darren Star confirmed the news in a statement to Variety, saying, “As long as audiences want to follow Emily’s adventures, we’re ready to pack our bags and go.”
Season 5 ended on a tantalizing cliffhanger, with Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) returning to Paris after her romance with Marcello Muratori (Eugenio Franceschini) fizzled. Back in the City of Light, her boss Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) tipped off ex-flame Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), now a private chef on a luxury yacht. Gabriel’s postcard invitation – “Meet me in Greece” – set the stage for a potential relocation, which Star has teased as a key element for Season 6.
“We hope Emily says yes to that invitation,” Star told Deadline in a post-premiere interview. “They reconnected in a nice way, and it hints they’ll stay in each other’s lives.” He added that Greece could provide a fresh backdrop for Emily’s signature mix of fashion mishaps, workplace drama, and romantic entanglements.
The renewal aligns with Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos’ October comments during the Q3 earnings call, where he listed Emily in Paris among returning hits for 2026, including Bridgerton and Outer Banks. “Emily’s story isn’t over,” Sarandos said at the Season 5 premiere in Paris, praising the show’s escapist appeal. His wife, Nicole, is reportedly a superfan, adding personal enthusiasm from the top.
Production is slated to begin in spring 2026, following the pattern of previous seasons. Filming for Season 5 wrapped in August 2025 after starting in May, leading to its December drop. If Season 6 follows suit, expect episodes to film in Paris, with new locations in Greece – possibly Mykonos or Athens – to capture the island vibes teased in the finale.
Lily Collins, who plays the bubbly American expat, is thrilled about the potential shift. “I’m hoping it’s Greece because that would be amazing,” she told Elite Daily. “It could tie into Mindy’s bachelorette party too.” Ashley Park, who portrays Mindy Chen, echoed the excitement, suggesting Gabriel might “crash” the festivities.
The core cast is expected to return: Collins as Emily, Bravo as Gabriel, Park as Mindy, Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie, Samuel Arnold as Julien, Bruno Gouery as Luc, Lucien Laviscount as Alfie, and Paul Forman as Nicolas. Minnie Driver’s Princess Jane, introduced in Season 5 as Agence Grateau’s new co-head, is likely to stir more corporate chaos. Eugenio Franceschini’s Marcello could recur, given his family ties to the agency.
Star has hinted at unresolved storylines driving Season 6. Emily’s decision to choose Paris over Solitano left her single, but her chemistry with Gabriel reignited fan hopes for an endgame pairing. “Emily’s fine right now, romantically,” Collins told USA Today. “But Darren keeps writing surprises that shock even us.”
Mindy faces her own romantic turmoil after accepting Nicolas’s proposal, only for ex Alfie to declare she’s making a “big mistake.” Their hookup in Season 5 added layers to the love triangle, which Star described as “chaos” born from their similar personalities. “It’s a good fit and a bad fit,” he told TheWrap.
Workplace drama persists too. Agence Grateau’s near-collapse was averted by Jane’s investment, but Sylvie warned of “changes coming.” This could lead to power struggles or new clients, potentially pulling Emily into Greek business ventures.
Critics have noted the show’s evolution: Season 5 earned praise for deeper character growth, with Emily showing maturity in prioritizing her career and friendships. Viewership remains strong – Season 5 topped Netflix charts in its first week – ensuring the series’ longevity.
Star envisions more global escapades. “The door’s open for London too, since Alfie’s from there,” he told The Times. But Greece feels like the natural next step, blending romance with Emily’s cultural clashes.
Fans on social media are buzzing. “Emily in Greece? Sign me up!” tweeted one viewer. Another speculated: “Gabriel and Emily finally together? Please!”
While no trailer or official synopsis has dropped, Netflix promises “more glamour, more drama, and more destinations.” For now, all five seasons are streaming on Netflix. With the August 2026 premiere, Emily’s journey continues – proving that in Paris (or Greece), love and fashion never go out of style.
