‘Emily in Paris’ sets sail for Greece and Monaco

The sixth season of Netflix’s global hit ‘Emily in Paris’ is set to expand its glossy European canvas once again, with production moving beyond France to include Greece and Monaco, signalling one of the series’ most ambitious location shifts yet.

Filming is scheduled to begin in May 2026, with cameras expected to roll through September 30, setting up a late 2026 release window. The new chapter continues Lily Collins’ journey as Emily Cooper, the American marketing executive whose life in Europe has increasingly spanned multiple countries and romantic entanglements.

The upcoming season follows the events of Season 5, which ended with Emily receiving a postcard from Gabriel, played by Lucas Bravo, inviting her to Greece. The message hinted at a possible rekindling of their long-running relationship after Gabriel relocated to work as a chef on a yacht in the Aegean.

Series creator Darren Star has repeatedly suggested Gabriel remains central to the narrative, describing him as Emily’s “big love” and noting he “can’t imagine the series without Gabriel.” He has also indicated that any reunion would not be immediate, pointing to continued emotional complications between the characters.

Season 5 left Emily at a crossroads after she ended her relationship with Marcello, choosing to remain in Paris despite professional and personal upheavals. The finale also saw shifting dynamics among supporting characters, including Mindy’s evolving romantic situation and growing complications within Emily’s wider circle.

Beyond Paris, the show has previously explored other European settings including Rome and Venice, but Season 6 appears set to significantly broaden its geographical reach. Greece and Monaco are expected to serve as key backdrops, with speculation pointing to Mykonos, Santorini and Paros among potential filming locations.

Monaco, in particular, is described as offering a contrasting setting to Greece, with its casino culture and Formula 1 glamour providing a high-energy environment for new professional storylines and client-driven plots.

The series continues to perform strongly for Netflix, with Season 5 drawing 26.8 million views globally in 11 days and ranking in the top 10 in 91 countries. That sustained popularity has reinforced its status as one of the platform’s most successful international dramas.

Returning cast members are expected to include Lily Collins, Lucas Bravo, Ashley Park and others, as production prepares to begin. A late 2026 premiere remains the most likely release window as the series continues its globe-trotting evolution.
