'Emily in Paris' Final Season Trailer and Release Date Finally Arrive

Netflix has released the first trailer for the final season of ‘Emily in Paris‘, giving fans their first moving look at Emily Cooper’s last chapter. The 1:23 preview opens the way the show always has, with Lily Collins’ marketing executive introducing herself in the subtitled greeting “Bonjour! I’m Emily Cooper.”

It is a fitting start for a series that has made that cheerful, slightly overconfident self-introduction its calling card. Creator Darren Star launched the show in 2020, and it has spent five seasons following Emily from Chicago to Paris and, most recently, to Rome. Now the story is heading toward its farewell.

The release date is locked in as well. Netflix has announced that the final season premieres on Thursday, Dec. 24, which is Christmas Eve, and all 10 episodes are set to arrive at once. That puts the finale of Emily’s story squarely in the holiday viewing window, a slot Netflix also used when season 5 debuted on Dec. 18, 2025.

The trailer is arriving later than some fans expected. When Netflix unveiled first-look photos on Aug. 26, it shared stills but no footage. As recently as late September, outlets tracking the show noted that Netflix’s official page still carried only older trailers, so this release is the first real glimpse of how the finale will look and sound.

The road to a last season was short. Netflix announced the show’s renewal on Jan. 5, 2026, and on May 21 the series was confirmed as ending with this run. Collins announced the news on Instagram, reflecting on playing Emily for years, while Star has described making the show with its cast and crew as the trip of a lifetime.

Netflix’s official logline promises that Emily will face defining choices that test her ultimate loyalties as she steps into a new era of ambition and romance. That framing suggests the final episodes will force her to settle both her career and her love life, the two threads that have driven the series from the start.

The first-look images already pointed toward the biggest storyline. Season 5 ended with Emily and Marcello parting ways and with Gabriel, working aboard a yacht, sending her a postcard inviting her to join him in Greece. The new photos show Emily and Gabriel together there, though Netflix has not said how that reunion plays out.

Production followed the same path as the story. Filming began in Greece in May, moved on to Monaco and then returned to Paris, the series’ long-standing home base. Reports indicate the shoot was expected to wrap around the end of September, which would give Netflix roughly three months between the final day of filming and the premiere.

Collins returns as Emily, joined by Ashley Park as Mindy, Lucas Bravo as Gabriel and Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie. Lucien Laviscount is back as Alfie, alongside Samuel Arnold as Julien, Bruno Gouery as Luc and William Abadie as Antoine. Minnie Driver returns as Princess Jane, and Paul Forman rounds out the list as Nico.

One notable absence is Camille Razat, whose character Camille is not among the cast Netflix has announced for the final season. Mindy’s tangled situation with Nico and Alfie also appears unresolved heading into the finale, based on the first-look material, which leaves plenty of loose ends to tie up in just 10 episodes.

For a show that has often been more about fantasy, fashion and friendship than realism, the last season has a clear task. Fans have followed Emily’s love triangle with Gabriel and Alfie for years, watched her professional ambitions grow, and seen her friendships with Mindy and Sylvie evolve. A finale that answers where she ends up, in both senses, will define how the series is remembered.

The Christmas Eve timing also gives the show a chance to go out with a festive send-off. Whether Emily lands in Greece, Monaco, Paris or somewhere new, the trailer makes one thing clear: the farewell is officially on.
