Emily in Paris is a romantic comedy series that blends American and French vibes, created by Darren Star and starring Lily Collins. With the release of season 5 just hitting Netflix in December 2025, the show is already confirming its staying power: a season 6 is scheduled to arrive on Netflix in 2026. This quick succession underscores the series' enduring popularity as a global favorite that first debuted in 2020.
From the very beginning, the series follows Emily Cooper, a young American executive living abroad in Europe, as she navigates cultural clashes, career aspirations, and romantic ups and downs. After four seasons set against the backdrop of Paris, Emily in Paris continues to evolve by expanding its horizons beyond the City of Light.
In this fifth season, Emily Cooper finds herself taking on a leadership role at the Grateau agency in Rome. Facing new markets, delicate work dynamics, and bold strategic choices, she must navigate an even more demanding environment than ever before.
On a personal level, Emily is trying to find a calmer pace of life, balancing her romantic and friendships. But a secret involving someone close to her threatens this quest for stability and forces her to rethink her options, torn between Paris and Italy.
Created by Darren Star, Emily in Paris follows a quick-paced format with episodes lasting around 26 minutes, blending comedy, romance, and workplace drama. The just-released fifth season continues in this vein, increasingly emphasizing the European setting, with storylines intertwined between Paris and Rome.
The main cast remains the same, featuring Lily Collins, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Lucas Bravo, Camille Razat, Ashley Park, Samuel Arnold, and Bruno Gouery. This consistency supports a long-term storytelling approach, now officially reinforced by the upcoming arrival of a new season.
Just as Season 5 premieres, Netflix has officially announced that a sixth season is planned for 2026. The series will then have six seasons and sixty episodes, cementing its status as one of the most enduring and recognizable comedies in the platform's lineup.
Emily in Paris appeals to a broad audience of fans of contemporary romantic comedies. Its breezy tone, polished aesthetic, and approachable take on workplace and romantic relationships are behind its widespread international popularity, despite ongoing discussions about its cultural portrayals.
