It’s Official! Emily in Paris Season 6 Confirmed for 2026 – Will She Finally Choose Gabriel?
Mumbai, February 18, 2026 — Mon Dieu! Put down your croissants and grab your phones because the news we have been refreshing our feeds for is finally here. If you are still recovering from that Emily in Rome era (and honestly, who isn’t?), you better brace yourself.
Netflix has officially confirmed that Emily in Paris is returning for Season 6, and the best part? We don’t have to wait for an eternity. The streaming giant has set a 2026 release window, meaning we are getting two seasons in back-to-back years!
Can we just take a moment to scream? Season 5 only dropped in December 2025, giving us that dreamy Italian escapade with Marcello Muratori that had us all questioning if we were Team Gabriel anymore. But let’s be real—while the Vespa rides, the trevi fountain wishes, and that stunning Fendi office in Rome were a visual feast, something felt… missing. The beret was missing. The rain was missing. The chaotic French bureaucracy was missing.
Well, Creator Darren Star heard our collective cries. Along with the renewal announcement today, he dropped a massive hint that is sending the fandom into a frenzy. The show is packing up its pasta and heading back to its roots. “The show is Emily in Paris,” Star reportedly emphasized, confirming that while the Italian detour was a fun fling, the series will never permanently leave its “home base” in France.
This “return to home base” comment is the closure we needed after that Season 5 cliffhanger. Remember how we left things? Emily was thriving in Rome, heading up Agence Grateau’s new Italian office, and getting cozy with the “wool prince” Marcello. But then came that postcard from Gabriel. That simple, silent postcard that screamed “I am still here” louder than any grand gesture ever could. It was the moment that split the internet in half. Was she really going to leave the City of Lights—and the chef who started it all—for a Roman holiday that felt a little too perfect?
The 2026 release window is ambitious, to say the least. Usually, we wait 18 months for our favorite marketing executive to make another catastrophic life decision. But sources suggest that production might have overlapped or is fast-tracking to keep the momentum of the “Paris vs. Rome” discourse alive. The cast, including our fashion icon Lily Collins and the brooding-turned-guacamole-chef Lucas Bravo (his words, not mine!), are expected to start filming in Paris this spring.
And speaking of Lucas Bravo, this Season 6 news is a massive relief for the “Gabriel Girlies.” There were serious rumors—and even some spicy interviews—where Bravo expressed frustration with Gabriel’s melancholic arc in Seasons 4 and 5. He wanted the “fun, cheeky” Gabriel back. With the show returning to Paris, we might finally get the redemption arc the Chef deserves. No more sad soufflés, please! We want the Gabriel who made omelets look like a Michelin-star meal.
The shift back to Paris also means we get more of the OG squad. Sylvie Grateau (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) in her natural habitat, terrorizing the Parisian marketing world, is unparalleled. While seeing her navigate Italian aristocracy was iconic, nothing beats her rolling her eyes at Emily in the Savoir (now Agence Grateau) offices. And let’s not forget Mindy! Her Eurovision dreams might have taken a detour, but the streets of Paris are where her busking heart truly belongs.
So, what can we expect? A messy breakup with Marcello? A frantic run back to the 5th Arrondissement? Or perhaps Emily is trying to manage clients in both cities while her love life burns down around her? Whatever it is, 2026 is shaping up to be the year of the ultimate homecoming.
This is fantastic news, but I have a tiny concern. The “Rome” season was beautiful, but it felt like a different show. Bringing it back to Paris is the right move. The show’s DNA is in the clash of cultures in France.
However, releasing it in 2026, so close to the December 2025 release of Season 5, feels rushed. Are they wrapping it up? Usually, when Netflix speeds up releases, it smells like a “Final Season” announcement is lurking around the corner. I hope I’m wrong, but I’m cherishing every episode of Season 6 just in case.
