Emily in Paris is one of those shows that feels like it’ll continue on forever.
The feel-good series, following Emily Cooper’s adventures in the City of Lights, allows us to romanticize and escape from modern-day issues.
But sadly, it’s about to come to an end, as Netflix revealed a shocking update about season 6—it will be the rom-com’s last… and it’s time to say goodbye.
As production begins in Greece today, with the new season taking Emily and Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) to another picturesque European country, the series creator Darren Star made the unfortunate reveal in a statement.
“Making Emily in Paris with this extraordinary cast and crew has been the trip of a lifetime,” he began, adding, “As we embark on the final season, I am so grateful to Netflix, Paramount and, most importantly, the fans who have taken this incredible journey with us.”
“We can’t wait to share this last chapter with you. Thank you for letting us be a part of your lives, inspiring your dreams of travel and your love of Paris. We will always have Emily in Paris!” he concluded.
Lily Collins, who brings Emily to life, confirmed the news with a video announcement on social media, stating,”Hey, it’s Lily, I just wanted to share something with you all,” Collins said in the footage. “After six unforgettable years of playing Emily Cooper, I’m here to share that this upcoming sixth season will be our final.”
She continued, teasing what fans can expect from the upcoming sixth and final season, noting, “Season 6 will bring you everything you love about the show and serve as the final chapter in Emily’s adventure of a lifetime. Our entire cast and crew are pouring our hearts into making this a fantastic farewell season, which we’re now filming. I can’t wait for all the magic ahead and to celebrate our final season with you in the most chic way yet. We’re so incredibly grateful and we love you all, à bientôt!”
Fans had plenty of thoughts, which they shared in the comments, as one wrote, “Hoping Emily and Gabriel’s story ends with the happiness they’re looking for 🤗.”
“The last season 💔 This show was my refuge during the pandemic. I’ll miss the cast, the outfits, Paris, and all the glamour. Thank you, Lily, for giving us Emily and her Parisian adventures,” another expressed.
Many felt it was too soon, stating, “this show could last for 27 seasons and i’d watch it every time” and “I could have watched this show forever!! Going to miss it 😢😢.”
Others made it clear there’s only one pathway forward, adding, “I WANT A YOUNG SYLVIE SPIN OFF” and “Sylvie spin-off when?!”
Collins also shared photos from the start of production, writing, “Annnnnd we’re back — for the last time. @emilyinparis takes on Greece (and of course France) for one final, epic adventure. Let’s make it the most incredibly special season yet!…”
You heard the lady—let’s make this Emily in Paris’ best season yet!
