Netflix has shared the first images from the 6th and final season of Emily in Paris, which will premiere on December 24. Emily, played by Lily Collins, will travel to Greece and Monaco as well as France in the new season.
According to the season synopsis, Emily will have to make an important choice between her career, her love life, and the life she has built in Paris. The cast of the series, created by Darren Star, also includes Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Ashley Park, Lucas Bravo, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, and William Abadie.
Why it matters
Designating the sixth season as the final one creates a framework for closure in which the conflict between Emily’s career, relationships, and life in Paris will reach a lasting resolution. Adding Greece and Monaco to the narrative expands the series’ geographical scope while keeping open the question of how Emily’s connection to the life she has built in Paris will be addressed. Retaining the existing cast provides continuity for the series’ established character relationships as it draws to a close. The announced synopsis shows that the finale will focus not only on Emily’s love life but also on questions of work and belonging. The first images, however, do not yet reveal the role the new locations will play in this choice or how the characters’ stories will be concluded.
