Los Angeles: Actor Lily Collins has confirmed that the sixth and final season of Netflix's Emily in Paris will premiere on December 24, bringing the series to an end after six seasons. Collins shared the announcement on Instagram following Netflix's release of promotional artwork and a teaser on Wednesday, November 11, expressing excitement about the upcoming episodes while acknowledging the end of her time playing Emily Cooper.
"Here we are… the beginning of the end," Collins wrote, adding that she was excited to share Emily's final chapter but was not ready to say goodbye. The announcement prompted reactions from viewers, many of whom expressed anticipation for the final episodes while reflecting on the show's conclusion.
Created by Darren Star, Emily in Paris premiered in October 2020 and follows Emily Cooper, an American marketing executive who moves from Chicago to Paris for work. The series explores her career, relationships and experiences adapting to life in France.
Netflix confirmed in May that the programme would conclude with its sixth season, ending a run that has incorporated fashion, travel and relationships into its storytelling.The final season will follow Emily as she faces decisions concerning her career and personal life, with filming taking place across Greece, Monaco and Paris.
The storyline continues from the fifth season, which saw Emily working in Rome while navigating a relationship with Italian fashion heir Marcello Muratori. By the end of that season, Emily had returned to Paris following their separation, while Gabriel, played by Lucas Bravo, invited her to join him in Greece.
The teaser for the final season suggests the two characters will reunite, although Netflix has not disclosed how their relationship will conclude. Returning cast members include Ashley Park as Mindy Chen, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie Grateau, Lucien Laviscount as Alfie, and Lucas Bravo as Gabriel.
The series has attracted international audiences since its debut, while also generating debate over its portrayal of French culture, workplace relationships and the fashion industry.
Its use of locations across Europe has become part of the programme's identity, with subsequent seasons expanding the story beyond Paris into Italy and other destinations.
The production has also attracted attention from fashion brands through costume design, product placements and partnerships associated with the show. The decision to conclude the series follows Netflix's continued investment in international productions and programmes designed to reach audiences across different markets.
For Collins, who has also served as a producer on the series, the final season marks the conclusion of a role she has played since 2020. Netflix has not announced whether any spin-off projects are planned after the conclusion of the programme.
The sixth season will be available on Netflix from December 24, concluding Emily Cooper's story as the character faces a choice between her professional ambitions, relationships and the life she has established in Paris.
