The Announcement
On Monday, Jan. 5, Netflix shared a clip of Lily Collins blowing out a candle shaped like the number six perched on a croissant. The caption: “Home sweet home 🇫🇷 EMILY IN PARIS is returning for Season 6.”

Plot and Cast Status
Season 5 ended with Emily choosing between a relaxed life in Rome with her Italian boyfriend or returning to Paris. Collins praised the decision as “brave” and “adult,” while Ashley Park, who plays Mindy, called it “really adult.”
Returning ensemble includes Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Lucas Bravo, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, William Abadie, and Lucien Laviscount. Minnie Driver joined the cast in season 5.
Series creator Darren Star told press in August 2024 he hopes the show continues “as long as they’ll have us, and as long as our audience is with us,” noting the world “keeps broadening and becoming deeper.”
