‘Emily in Paris’ Wraps Filming on Its Final Season Ahead of December Release
Few Netflix originals have managed to turn escapist fashion fantasy into a genuine cultural phenomenon quite like ‘Emily in Paris.’ Since its 2020 debut, the Darren Star series has taken Lily Collins’ fashion-forward marketing executive from the streets of Paris to Rome and back again, each season adding another glamorous European backdrop to Emily Cooper’s ongoing professional and romantic adventures.
That globe-trotting formula has become central to the show’s identity, with each new season promising fresh cities, fresh outfits, and fresh complications in Emily’s tangled love life. As the series has grown into one of Netflix’s most reliable international hits, fans have come to expect each new chapter to raise the stakes on just how far the show’s picturesque location scouting can stretch.
That journey has now officially wrapped for the final time. The sixth and final season of ‘Emily in Paris’ has finished filming, with Lily Collins photographed sitting in a director’s chair marked “Fin,” confirming the series will conclude with its release on Netflix on December 24.
Filming for the final season kicked off in Greece back in May before production continued in France, giving the farewell run the same kind of expansive European scope that’s defined the show’s later seasons. Series creator Darren Star spoke about his ambitions for how the ending would look, explaining that he wanted the final season to feel like the biggest ‘Emily in Paris’ experience yet, pointing specifically to Greece as a location he’d long wanted to showcase in a spectacular way, sentiments he shared in comments reported by Deadline.

Collins echoed that sense of scale in her own comments about the show’s conclusion, framing the final season as a fitting capstone to the character’s journey. She said the season would deliver everything fans love about the show while serving as the final chapter in Emily’s adventure of a lifetime, a sentiment she shared in comments reported by Netflix Tudum.
The returning ensemble includes Ashley Park as Mindy Chen, Lucas Bravo as Gabriel, Lucien Laviscount as Alfie, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie Grateau, and William Abadie as Antoine Lambert, alongside Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, Minnie Driver, and Paul Forman rounding out the cast. That full ensemble return signals the show is treating this final season as a genuine send-off rather than a quiet wind-down, giving longtime fans one last chance to see the entire cast of characters together.
According to the season’s logline, Emily will face defining choices that test her loyalties, with career conflicts and shifting relationships forcing her to reconsider where her future ultimately belongs. That framing suggests the final season will finally force Emily to make the kind of decisive choice about her life in Paris that the series has repeatedly teased but never fully resolved across its previous five seasons.
The choice of a December 24 release date gives the show’s conclusion a distinctly festive framing, turning Emily’s final chapter into a Christmas Eve viewing tradition for fans. That timing also continues a pattern established by the show’s previous two seasons, both of which similarly arrived during the December holiday window.
‘Emily in Paris’ is produced by Paramount Television Studios, Darren Star Productions, and Jax Media, with Star serving as writer and executive producer alongside a lengthy list of collaborators including Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns, and Andrew Fleming. That consistent behind-the-scenes team has helped maintain the show’s signature blend of glossy visuals and lighthearted romantic drama across its entire six-season run.
With filming now complete and a firm release date locked in, anticipation for how the series will ultimately close out Emily’s story is building steadily among longtime fans. Given how deliberately Star and Collins have both framed this final season as the show’s biggest and most ambitious outing yet, ‘Emily in Paris’ appears determined to go out on a genuinely memorable note.
