Netflix has renewed Emily in Paris for a sixth season, extending the rom-com after Season 5’s late-December launch and another fast start on the service’s global charts. The pickup was announced Monday, Jan. 5, with a short video of star Lily Collins blowing out a candle shaped like the number six on a croissant.
The renewal follows a strong early run for Season 5, which premiered Dec. 18. Netflix said the 10-episode season drew 26.8 million views worldwide in 11 days, debuted at No. 2 on the streamer’s Global Top 10 list for English-language TV, and landed in the top 10 in 91 countries, including No. 1 in 24.
Series creator Darren Star signaled that the show will keep Paris as its anchor while staying open to fresh destinations when the story supports them. “The show is Emily in Paris,” Star said at a December press event, adding that he would still like to take viewers “somewhere else” when it fits the characters’ next turn. Netflix has not set a premiere date for Season 6, though Tudum described the series as returning in 2026.
Season 5 pushed Emily deeper into Italy through work tied to Agence Grateau’s expansion in Rome, while keeping key relationships and office politics tethered to Paris. Collins, Ashley Park, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Lucas Bravo, Lucien Laviscount, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, and William Abadie have been central to the ensemble, and Season 5 added Minnie Driver in a new role.
The renewal also arrives as the show’s cultural footprint keeps sparking debate in France. Early seasons drew criticism for leaning on caricature, yet recent reporting from Paris has pointed to restaurants and tourism operators seeing a real bump from on-screen exposure, with some locals warming to the series’ glossy postcard version of the city. A French political aside even entered the conversation last year, when President Emmanuel Macron joked that the show should stay rooted in Paris during its Rome detour.
