‘Emily in Paris’ Final Season Filming Completed Ahead of December 24 Release
Few Netflix originals have succeeded in transforming escapist fashion fantasy into a true cultural phenomenon like ‘Emily in Paris.’ Since its debut in 2020, the series created by Darren Star has followed Lily Collins’ fashion-savvy marketing executive as she navigates the streets of Paris and beyond, with each season introducing another glamorous European backdrop to Emily Cooper’s ongoing professional and romantic escapades.
This globe-trotting formula has become integral to the show’s identity, with each new season promising fresh locations, stunning outfits, and new twists in Emily’s complicated love life. As the series has evolved into one of Netflix’s most dependable international hits, fans eagerly anticipate each new chapter, hoping for even more breathtaking location scouting.
That journey has now officially concluded for the last time. The sixth and final season of ‘Emily in Paris’ has wrapped filming, with Lily Collins spotted in a director’s chair labeled “Fin,” confirming that the series will come to a close with its release on Netflix on December 24.
Filming for the final season began in Greece back in May before moving to France, maintaining the expansive European scope that has characterized the show’s later seasons. Series creator Darren Star expressed his aspirations for the finale, emphasizing that he wanted the last season to be the ultimate ‘Emily in Paris’ experience, particularly highlighting Greece as a location he had long wished to showcase spectacularly, sentiments reported by Deadline.

Collins echoed this sense of grandeur in her remarks about the show’s conclusion, describing the final season as a fitting capstone to Emily’s journey. She stated that the season would encapsulate everything fans adore about the show while serving as the last chapter in Emily’s adventure of a lifetime, a sentiment she shared in comments reported by Netflix Tudum.
The returning cast 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, with Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, Minnie Driver, and Paul Forman rounding out the ensemble. This full cast return indicates that the show is treating this final season as a genuine send-off, providing longtime fans one last opportunity to see all the beloved characters together.
According to the season’s logline, Emily will confront pivotal choices that challenge her loyalties, with career conflicts and evolving relationships prompting her to reassess where her future truly lies. This framing suggests that the final season will finally compel Emily to make the decisive choice about her life in Paris that the series has hinted at but never fully resolved over its previous five seasons.
The December 24 release date gives the show’s conclusion a festive touch, transforming Emily’s final chapter into a Christmas Eve viewing tradition for fans. This timing also continues a pattern established by the show’s previous two seasons, both of which similarly premiered 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 talented team including Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns, and Andrew Fleming. This consistent behind-the-scenes crew has helped maintain the show’s signature blend of glossy visuals and lighthearted romantic drama throughout its six-season journey.
With filming now complete and a confirmed release date set, excitement is building among longtime fans regarding how the series will ultimately conclude Emily’s story. Given how deliberately Star and Collins have framed this final season as the show’s most ambitious outing yet, ‘Emily in Paris’ seems poised to end on a genuinely memorable note.
