Netflix has dated the end of Emily in Paris. The streamer confirmed a Dec. 24 premiere for the sixth and final season, and released a first batch of photos showing Emily (Lily Collins) trading Paris for a sun-drenched Greek adventure — with a love-triangle question finally on the line.
Variety reported the news Tuesday, and the first look lands ahead of a farewell run the show’s creator, Darren Star, has billed as “the biggest Emily in Paris experience yet.”

What the first look reveals
The photos set up a season that pushes Emily far beyond Paris. The official logline says that, “Stepping into a new era of ambition and romance, Emily faces defining choices that test her ultimate loyalties. But as unexpected career conflicts and shifting relationships force her to reevaluate where her true future lies, she must make one final choice between her career, her heart and the life she’s built in Paris.”
At the end of the previous season, chef Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) had asked Emily to meet him in Greece. The first images confirm that storyline is front and center, alongside the returning cast — including Lucien Laviscount as Alfie, whose rivalry with Gabriel finally comes to a head.
Greece is the show’s grand finale setting
In a statement, Star said the team wanted the final season to feel like a proper send-off. “We went to multiple locations this season, and Greece was somewhere we really wanted to showcase in a spectacular way,” he said. “That’s part of the fantasy of Europe: You’re always within reach of another extraordinary place, another culture, another adventure. I wanted the audience to have that vicarious experience of traveling right along with Emily.”
The full returning cast includes Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie, Ashley Park as Mindy, Samuel Arnold as Julien, Bruno Gouery as Luc, William Abadie as Antoine Lambert, Minnie Driver and Paul Forman. Collins also serves as a producer.
What the cast has said about the goodbye
Collins announced the final season to fans back in May with an Instagram video. “Season six will bring you everything you love about the show and serve as the final chapter in Emily’s adventure of a lifetime,” she said, adding that the cast and crew were “pouring our hearts into making this a fantastic farewell season.”
