Fans of Emily in Paris are buzzing with excitement following the dramatic conclusion of Season 5, which left hearts racing and theories flying about the future of Emily Cooper’s chaotic love life. While Netflix has yet to officially announce a premiere date for Season 6, the show’s massive popularity and cliffhanger ending make a renewal feel inevitable. Strong viewership numbers—Season 5 racked up millions of hours watched in its debut week—combined with hints from Netflix executives suggest more Parisian (and possibly Greek) adventures are on the horizon.
At the core of the speculation is the enduring pull between Emily (Lily Collins) and Gabriel (Lucas Bravo). After a season spent mostly in Rome exploring a passionate romance with Italian hunk Marcello Muratori (Eugenio Franceschini), Emily ultimately chooses her career and life in Paris over a fairy-tale future in Italy. The breakup stems from fundamental differences: Marcello prioritizes his family business, while Emily refuses to abandon the vibrant world she’s built in the City of Light.
This opens the door wide for Gabriel, who has always embodied the “right choice” in Emily’s tangled romantic journey. Insiders close to the production emphasize that Gabriel consistently strives to do what’s honorable. His past complications—tied to previous relationships and obligations—are firmly behind him. With no lingering family drama or external pressures holding him back, Gabriel is portrayed as fully committed and deeply in love with Emily. His quiet growth throughout the series shows a man ready to prioritize his own happiness without guilt.
In contrast, Marcello’s charm fades under scrutiny. What started as a whirlwind escape to Rome reveals cracks: his involvement in business dealings that undermine Emily’s professional efforts paints him as someone who may have used the relationship for personal gain. Emily’s realization that his priorities don’t align with hers solidifies the split, leaving fans rooting for a return to the slow-burn chemistry with Gabriel.
The Season 5 finale teases this shift perfectly. After spending much of the season apart—Gabriel working as a private chef on a luxury yacht—he receives word that Emily is single again. In a romantic gesture, he sends a postcard inviting her to join him during his downtime in Greece, reigniting the spark that has defined the series since day one.
Creator Darren Star has long hinted that Emily and Gabriel’s connection is the emotional heart of the show, with undeniable on-screen magic whenever they’re together. As the series evolves, exploring new locations like Rome and Venice, the focus remains on Emily’s personal growth amid glamour, fashion, and heartbreak.
If Season 6 materializes—potentially in late 2026—it could finally deliver the resolution fans crave: Gabriel stepping up without hesitation, proving his loyalty, while Emily embraces the love that’s been waiting all along. Until then, the debate rages: Is Gabriel the endgame, or will more twists keep the triangle spinning? One thing’s clear—this romance isn’t over yet.
