Netflix has officially dropped the bombshell fans have been waiting for: Emily in Paris is returning for Season 6! Just weeks after Season 5 wrapped up with a massive cliffhanger, the streaming giant announced the renewal on January 5, 2026, complete with a playful video of Lily Collins blowing out a “6” candle on a croissant. The caption? “Home sweet home 🇫🇷 Emily in Paris is returning for Season 6!”

The news comes at the perfect time. Season 5 saw Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) venture to Rome for a fresh start, leaving behind the drama of Paris — and her complicated history with charming chef Gabriel (Lucas Bravo). After breakups, new romances, and plenty of fashion-forward chaos, the finale delivered the ultimate tease: Gabriel, now working as a private chef on a luxury yacht, sent Emily a postcard inviting her to join him in Greece. With Sylvie slyly texting him about Emily’s single status and return to Paris, the door to their will-they-won’t-they romance is wide open once again.

Showrunner Darren Star has hinted that the pair’s journey isn’t over. In recent interviews, he emphasized that Emily and Gabriel will continue to cross paths, with potential for them to “find their way back to each other” — though not necessarily in an instant, whirlwind way. Fans have been rooting for this slow-burn couple since Season 1, and the Greece invite feels like the perfect setup for a long-awaited reunion. Will Emily finally choose Gabriel as her “dock” — her safe harbor — after years of romantic turbulence? Or will new twists, perhaps involving old flames like Alfie or even Marcello, throw another curveball?

While a precise premiere date hasn’t been locked in, Netflix teased that the new episodes will “strut back onto your screen sometime in 2026.” Filming is expected to kick off in the second quarter of the year, suggesting a late 2026 release — possibly aligning with the show’s holiday tradition of dropping seasons in December. Expect more stunning locations (Greece, anyone?), outrageous outfits, workplace drama at Agence Grateau, and Mindy’s ongoing adventures in love and music.

The renewal proves Emily in Paris remains a guilty-pleasure powerhouse, blending bubbly escapism with heartfelt moments. As Emily returns “home” to Paris, the City of Love promises more surprises, heartbreaks, and hopefully, a satisfying resolution to the Emily-Gabriel saga that has kept viewers hooked for years.

Whether this marks the beginning of Emily’s happily ever after or another chapter of delicious drama, one thing is clear: 2026 can’t come soon enough. Bon voyage, Emily — and here’s to finally finding her forever!
