Emily Cooper says arrivederci to Paris and buonjiorno to Rome in season 5 of Netflix's hit dramedy Emily in Paris. The new 10-episode season hit the streamer on December 18, picking up where season 4 left off—with Emily (Lily Collins) moving to Rome and seemingly leaving her will-they-won't-they relationship with Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) behind. But just because Emily in Paris has officially moved beyond its title location doesn't mean the Netflix original is over. In fact, fans are already demanding updates on Emily in Paris season 6.
Netflix has been keeping the future of Emily's life as an expat under wraps. That said, there are some strong indications that fans should expect at least one more season. After all, if the show didn't end when Emily moved to Rome, it could survive anything. With that in mind, here's everything we know about Emily in Paris season 6.
Is 'Emily in Paris' renewed for season 6?
Oui oui! Emily in Paris has officially been renewed for season 6. The announcement came on January 5, 2026, just over two weeks after the series premiered its fifth installment in mid-December 2025.
Netflix revealed the renewal with a savvy clip on social media that looks like something our beloved marketing maven might've whipped up herself. The clip features star Lily Collins wearing a chic black and white striped dress and her hair styled in a micro bob, walking inside from a Parisian balcony, only for the frame to zoom out and reveal her image on an iPhone. She leans forward to blow out a candle, revealing the device to be on top of a "6" candle in a giant croissant. Appropriately, the pastry is plated on a table covered in flowers overlooking the Eiffel Tower.
"Home sweet home 🇫🇷 Emily in Paris is returning for Season 6!" the caption reads.
It was only a matter of time before Emily in Paris season 6 was confirmed. According a press release from Netflix, season 5 garnered 26.8 million views in just 11 days, and debuted as the second most popular English-language series worldwide.
Popularity is always a good indication of whether the streamer will bring back one if its hits, but showrunner Darren Star had also previously teased his feelings that Emily’s story wasn’t over. "I hope Emily says yes to that invitation," he said to Deadline, referring to the finale cliffhanger in which Gabriel invited our heroine to Greece. "[Emily and Gabriel] reconnected in a nice way. [As for] where that takes them, I think it definitely hints at the idea that they’ll stay in each other’s lives."
For what it's worth, the showrunner also has high hopes for the show to continue past season 6. At a press junket in 2024, when asked how long he wanted Emily in Paris to run for, Star told Pedestrian.tv that he'd keep making the show for “as many [seasons] as they'll have us!” We’ll take it!
When would 'Emily in Paris' return for season 6?
Without an official renewal, it's hard to say exactly when Emily in Paris season 6 could premiere. It all depends on when the comedy is renewed, the actors's schedules, and Netflix's own plans for the new year. That said, season 5 premiered only 15 months after it was announced. If season 6 is announced not long after season 5's release, it's possible that fans could expect more Emily in Paris in early 2027.
Which cast members would return for 'Emily in Paris' season 6?
Given all the romantic cliffhangers at the end of season 5 (more on that below!), it seems that, should Emily in Paris get picked up for another season, fans can expect most of the main cast to return. Of course, you can't have Emily in Paris without the Emily, so Lily Collins would return, as would her fellow series regulars, including Ashley Park (Mindy), Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Samuel Arnold (Julian), Bruno Gouery (Luc), Lucien Laviscount (Alfie), and Paul Forman (Nicolas). And, given Princess Jane's involvement at Agence Grateau, it's likely that Minnie Driver will be back to reprise her role as well.
The only cast member whose future with Emily in Paris isn't clear is Eugenio Franceschini, who plays Marcello. Now that Emily has officially returned to Paris as a single woman, there's no real reason for Marcello to be involved. Then again, you never know what might happen.
What would 'Emily in Paris' season 6 be about?
Should Emily in Paris be renewed for a season 6, fans can expect it to be all about love—especially after the major season 5 cliffhanger.
In the finale, “Veni, Vidi, Venezia,” Emily ended her relationship with Marcello after he announced that he would have to remain in Italy to take over his family's company. She returned to Agence Grateau alone, and Sylvie, the leader of #TeamGabriel, immediately texted Gabriel to let him know. The finale ended with Gabriel sending a postcard to Emily, inviting her to meet him in Greece!
With any luck, season 6 will see Gabriel and Emily having a rendezvous on some gorgeous Greek isles and deciding what's next for their relationship. While Star has hinted that Emily will accept her former flame's invitation, the showrunner also implied that committing to happily ever after with one another may not be instant between the will-they-won’t-they couple. While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, he said, “I don’t think it’ll be an instant relationship, though I do believe that people can find their way back to each other.”
Gabriel and Emily's relationship isn't the only one up in the air. Mindy ended season 5 engaged to Nico, but not even a diamond ring can stop her from having feelings for Alfie. If this new love triangle isn't enough to earn a season 6, we don't know what is.
Star himself has also teased that there may be more to come between Mindy and Alfie, despite her engagement. He told Deadline, “Anything’s possible, and I definitely feel like the two of them had a lot of chemistry, and it came out of left field for Mindy. It’s not the way she saw her life going.”
Finally, Agence Grateau is under new leadership. After Sylvie almost loses her company to bankruptcy, she's forced to accept an investment from Princess Jane, who will now act as co-head of the Agence. Expect many workplace hijinks to come.
For now, ciao, Emily!
