What To Know

Emily in Paris will conclude with its sixth and final season.
It will premiere on Netflix this year.
Lily Collins said goodbye to her character on Instagram on September 18.

The end of Emily in Paris is near, and Lily Collins is saying goodbye to her character, Emily Cooper, before the Netflix series’ sixth and final season premieres.

Collins shared a series of photos from her last day on set, penning a heartfelt message in the caption. “It’s impossible to find the words for what this journey has meant to me,” she began the September 18 Instagram post. “For so many years, Emily has been a part of my life, and through every season, she’s continued to surprise me, inspire me, and challenge me.”

The actress thanked creator Darren Star for creating Emily and trusting her to bringing the character to life. She also expressed her gratitude toward the show’s crew, writers, directors, and cast, “who is now family and who I cannot imagine this without.”

“You have made Emily, Emily. You made this world feel like home. And merci to all of you who have been supporting us over these past 7 years and 6 seasons, keeping us inspired to dream bigger along our epic adventure.” she wrote. “This has forever changed me. Au revoir, Emily Cooper…”

In May 2026, Collins told fans in a video, “I just wanted to share something with you all. After six unforgettable years of playing Emily Cooper, I’m here to share that this upcoming sixth season will be our final. Season 6 will bring you everything you love about the show and serve as the final chapter in Emily’s adventure of a lifetime.”

Star previously told PEDESTRIAN.TV in 2024 that he would keep making Emily in Paris for “as many [seasons] as they’ll have us.”

When does Emily in Paris Season 6 premiere?

Fans will have more than one thing to celebrate this holiday season. Season 6 premieres all at once on December 24.

“Our entire cast and crew are pouring our hearts into making this a fantastic farewell season, which we’re now filming,” Collins said in the May 2026 video. “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.”

Who is in the Emily in Paris Season 6 cast?

Well, it wouldn’t be Emily in Paris without Collins, who plays the show’s titular character. Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), Mindy (Ashley Park), Julien (Samuel Arnold), and Luc (Bruno Gouery) will also return, along with Gabriel (Lucas Bravo).

Bravo had been cryptic about his future as Gabriel ahead of Season 5, and he was only in a few episodes. He was a major part of the finale cliffhanger, so we were expecting him to play a major role in the final season. Per the first look images, we now know we were right.

Alfie (Lucien Laviscount) was re-upped to a main character in Season 5 after his recurring role in Seasons 3 and 4. He had a tough conversation with Mindy at the end of Season 5, which led to her realizing she may have made a mistake by accepting Nicolas’ (Paul Forman) proposal, so this love triangle will likely still be front and center in the sixth season.

One person who won’t be in the cast is Camille (Camille Razat), who left the show after Season 4 due to the natural conclusion of her character’s storyline.

What’s going to happen in Emily in Paris Season 6?

The logline reads: “Stepping into a new era of ambition and romance, Emily faces defining choices that test her ultimate loyalties. But as unexpected career conflicts and shifting relationships force her to reevaluate where her true future lies, she must make one final choice between her career, her heart, and the life she’s built in Paris.”

What’s more, the show is headed to Greece. “I wanted the final season to feel like the biggest Emily in Paris experience yet,” Star told Tudum. “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.”

Season 5 ended with Emily and Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini) breaking up. Gabriel sent Emily a note asking her to meet him in Greece — and we finally have our first look at the characters in the new location, including Minnie Driver, who had an off-set car accident while shooting Season 6.
