Netflix has officially renewed "Emily in Paris" for a sixth season, much to the delight of fans worldwide. The announcement, made on January 5, 2026, comes on the heels of a successful fifth season that premiered on December 18, 2025, and quickly climbed to the top of global charts. The series, created by Darren Star, continues to captivate audiences with its blend of romance, comedy, and stunning visuals of Paris and now Rome.
Season 5 saw Emily Cooper, played by Lily Collins, navigating new challenges both professionally and personally in Rome, where she was tasked with heading the new office for Agence Grateau. Her relationship with Italian luxury fashion heir Marcello Muratori, portrayed by Eugenio Franceschini, faced complications as they realized their long-term goals didn't align. Emily ultimately chose to return to Paris, focusing on her career and life in the French capital.
The finale of Season 5 left fans with several questions, most notably regarding the unresolved feelings between Emily and Gabriel, played by Lucas Bravo. Gabriel, who had been working as a private chef, sent Emily a postcard from Greece, inviting her to join him. This gesture has sparked speculation about a potential reconciliation in Season 6. Creator Darren Star has teased that the door is still open for Emily and Gabriel. He noted that sometimes people drift apart only to find their way back to each other later.
As for what to expect in Season 6, several possibilities are on the horizon. A trip to Greece seems likely, considering Gabriel's invitation and Mindy's consideration of Mykonos as a bachelorette destination. The potential for a Greek getaway opens up new locations and storylines for the characters. The series may also explore the complexities of Mindy's engagement to Nico, especially given Alfie's lingering feelings and his confession that Mindy shouldn't get married.
Many familiar faces are expected to return for Season 6, including Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie, Ashley Park as Mindy, and Lucien Laviscount as Alfie. While Eugenio Franceschini's Marcello may not be back, there's a possibility of Bryan Greenberg returning as Jake, Emily's American friend in Paris.
"Emily in Paris" has not only entertained viewers but has also had a significant cultural impact. France has seen a boost in tourism, with many visitors attributing their interest to the show. The series' marketing campaign for Season 5 generated a staggering 1 billion social impressions, demonstrating its widespread appeal.
While Netflix hasn't announced a specific release date for Season 6, the series has typically followed a consistent pattern of releasing a new season each year, with the exception of 2023 due to Hollywood strikes. If this pattern holds, fans can anticipate the arrival of Season 6 in late 2026. Until then, viewers can continue to speculate about Emily's romantic future and career path as she navigates life in Paris.
