The Netflix series Emily in Paris is expanding its European horizons, with filming for the sixth season set to take place in Greece and Monaco this May. The show, starring Lily Collins as American marketing executive Emily Cooper, has increasingly become a pan-European affair, with recent seasons featuring locations in Paris and Rome.
Plot details for the upcoming season remain under wraps, but the season five finale hinted at a Greek getaway. Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), Emily's on-again, off-again love interest, sent her a postcard inviting her to join him, revealing he had left his Paris restaurant to work as a chef on a yacht. Creator Darren Star described Gabriel as Emily's 'big love', stating, 'I can't imagine the series without Gabriel.'
Key cast members returning for season six include Ashley Park, Lucas Bravo, Lucien Laviscount, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, and Andrew Fleming. The fifth season ended with Emily torn between staying in Rome with her Italian beau Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini) or returning to Paris, while her best friend Mindy (Ashley Park) was secretly dating Emily's ex-boyfriend Alfie (Lucien Laviscount).
Despite mixed reviews, Emily in Paris remains a massive hit for Netflix. The latest season garnered 26.8 million views globally in its first 11 days and reached the top 10 in 91 countries. A two-star review from The Independent criticised the show's reliance on national stereotypes, with the reviewer noting that Emily's romantic interests often embody clichés of their home countries.
