It’s Official: Emily in Paris Ends With Season 6 as Star Speaks Out

Here we go then – one of Netflix’s biggest guilty pleasures, and, let’s be honest, a series that’s managed to baffle just as many people as it’s enchanted, is officially packing up its suitcase. If you’ve dived into the glittery, occasionally cringeworthy, but always positively bonkers world of Emily in Paris, you’ll want to brace yourself: the upcoming sixth season will be the last.

No More Berets After Season 6

So, why’s everyone talking about it? Simple: Netflix just confirmed, somewhat unceremoniously, that after six years of croissants, marketing jargon, and questionable fashion choices, Emily Cooper is clocking out. No more faux-French misadventures, no more Instagram-perfect Paris. Season six is currently being filmed, right on the heels of season five’s finale (which, knowing this show, probably ended with a dramatic stare across the Seine or a last-minute hook-up).

A Proper Goodbye (With Sun-Tan)

Lead star Lily Collins took to social media with something approaching actual emotional sincerity (not always a given with these PR videos), telling fans:

'After six unforgettable years of playing Emily Cooper, I’m here to share that this upcoming sixth season will be our final. Season six 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.'

Notably, the video featured almost everyone who’s ever crossed paths with Emily: Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Ashley Park, Lucas Bravo, Lucien Laviscount, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, and William Abadie. No word on the baguette count.

Far-Flung Final Stops

If you thought this last season would just be more sightseeing in Paris, think again. Netflix revealed the farewell lap actually whisks the crew off to Greece, with a detour through Monaco, before the inevitable homecoming in Paris. Clearly, they’re spending the last bit of the travel budget in style.

The Brains Behind the Beret

Darren Star, who created Emily in Paris (and, yes, Sex and the City – so some things do make sense), jumped in with some words of thanks. He basically said making the show was, and I quote, 'the trip of a lifetime,' and dropped the usual lines about being thankful and inspired and all that. The gist: Netflix, Paramount, fans, everyone’s been grand, and that’s a wrap.

• Sixth and final season is filming now
• Main cast: Lily Collins (Emily), Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie), Ashley Park (Mindy), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Lucien Laviscount (Alfie), Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc), William Abadie (Antoine)
• Story settings for final series: Greece, Monaco, Paris
• Previous recognition: Recent seasons picked up some Primetime Emmy nominations – make of that what you will
• Next projects: Lily Collins is off to play an old Hollywood legend in a new film, and Darren Star’s busy prepping a fresh Netflix rom-com called Uncorked

End of an Era (and a Thousand Memes)

So that’s it, then. The glossy chronicle of an American blagging her way through Parisian life is coming to a close. It’s all streaming on Netflix right now if you fancy a rewatch or are a glutton for punishment. Season six promises one last spree, continental and sparkly, and will probably go out as it lived: confusing, stylish, and somehow strangely addictive.
