Fans of Emily in Paris are buzzing with anticipation following the dramatic finale of Season 5, which dropped on Netflix on December 18, 2025. The latest installment left viewers on an emotional high, with major heartbreak, surprising reconciliations, and a tantalizing setup for more adventures. But the burning question remains: Will Netflix renew the hit rom-com for a sixth season?
As of late December 2025, Netflix has not officially announced a renewal for Season 6. However, optimism is high among the cast, crew, and industry observers. Creator Darren Star has expressed enthusiasm for continuing Emily Cooper’s story, noting in recent interviews that her journey feels far from over. Star highlighted the finale’s open-ended elements, particularly the potential for deeper exploration of long-simmering romances and new European escapades. Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos has also fueled speculation by praising the show publicly and including it in discussions of returning series for 2026, suggesting internal confidence in its future.
Season 5 delivered a rollercoaster of emotions, shifting much of the action between Paris and Italy. Emily (Lily Collins) navigated professional challenges while heading Agence Grateau’s new Rome office, only to face setbacks that forced a return to her beloved Paris. Her romance with Italian heir Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini) blossomed intensely but ultimately crumbled due to differing visions for the future—Marcello rooted in his family’s Italian legacy, while Emily realized Paris was truly home. This poignant breakup marked a mature turning point for Emily, emphasizing personal growth over impulsive decisions.
Meanwhile, the finale reignited sparks with fan-favorite Gabriel (Lucas Bravo). After spending much of the season apart—Gabriel pursuing opportunities abroad—a sly nudge from Sylvie reconnects them. Gabriel, now with time off, sends Emily a postcard from Greece inviting her to join him. This cliffhanger has fans speculating about a potential “Emily in Greece” arc, blending romance, stunning Mediterranean backdrops, and the will-they-won’t-they tension that’s defined the series.
Other plot threads ripe for Season 6 include Mindy’s (Ashley Park) complicated engagement and lingering feelings for Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), as well as workplace drama at Agence Grateau following unexpected investments. The core ensemble— including Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as the fierce Sylvie, Samuel Arnold as Julien, and Bruno Gouery as Luc—delivered standout performances, ensuring their return would anchor any new season.
If renewed, Season 6 could arrive in late 2026 or early 2027, aligning with the show’s typical production timeline. Past seasons have maintained annual releases, with filming often wrapping in advance. Given Emily in Paris‘ consistent popularity—regularly topping Netflix charts and sparking global fashion trends—a renewal seems likely, especially with its escapist charm resonating amid uncertain times.
For now, fans can rewatch Season 5’s glamorous outfits, heartfelt moments, and that Greece tease, dreaming of Emily’s next chapter. Whether it’s finally committing to Gabriel or embarking on fresh chaos, one thing’s clear: Emily Cooper’s story has plenty of joie de vivre left.
