Netflix viewers have been left 'irrationally devastated' after the streaming platform confirmed the end of Emily in Paris. The hit romantic drama, which first aired in 2020, quickly garnered a huge following. The fifth season landed on Netflix last December, once again following Lily Collins as marketing executive Emily Cooper.
Emily's Journey Comes to an End
Viewers have followed Emily's journey for several years, from her move to Paris for work to her romantic entanglements and heartbreaks. At the end of Season 4, Emily moved to Rome, and Season 5's epic finale saw her facing a decision: would she join ex-boyfriend Gabriel in Greece?
Now, Netflix has confirmed that the show will conclude after Season 6, which is currently in production. Filming began today in Greece, though an exact release date has yet to be announced.
Netflix Announces Final Season
Taking to social media, Netflix shared the news on May 21, leaving viewers heartbroken. The announcement read: 'From bonjour to au revoir. After six years, multiple cities, and countless memories, the final season has arrived — and it promises to be a farewell to remember.'
In a video message, Lily Collins said: 'Hey, it's Lily. I just wanted to share something with you all. After six unforgettable years playing Emily Cooper, I'm here to share that this upcoming sixth season will be our final. 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.'
Fan Reactions
Fans took to social media to express their emotions. One person replied: 'This is a show I didn't want to end but it was good while it lasted.' Another wrote: 'FINAL?!' A third added: 'The final season of Emily in Paris already in production means Paris is about to get one last chaotic, fashion-forward, romantically messy send-off. It deserves a proper ending.'
On Instagram, one fan stated: 'I could have watched this show forever!! Going to miss it.' Another penned: 'Irrationally devastated.' A third echoed: 'Well this just ruined my day,' as a fourth commented: 'I knew it would have to end at some point but this makes me soooo sad!!! This show is such a comfort watch.' A fifth said: 'Oh noooo not the final chapter please.'
Creator Darren Star's Statement
Speaking about the final season, creator Darren Star said: 'Making Emily in Paris with this extraordinary cast and crew has been the trip of a lifetime. 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!'
