Following the success of the series’s last instalment, ‘Emily in Paris’ will be back for a sixth season. Previously, the popular Netflix show had already halted in locations such as Paris, Rome, and Saint Tropez, but the new season will include two brand-new filming spots: Greece and Monaco.
Since the series first aired on Netflix in 2020, ‘Emily in Paris’ has become one of the streaming platform’s most-loved shows. The fifth season appeared in December 2025 and proved to be an instant hit, with 26.8 million views globally in just 11 days. Unsurprisingly, that success led Netflix to announce a sixth season, and filming is scheduled to kick off in May 2026.
Over the past few seasons, Emily Cooper (played by Lilly Collins) has travelled to a myriad of locations. Paris, Rome, Venice, Saint Tropez, and Megève were used as glamorous filming backdrops for Emily’s often not-so-realistic lifestyle, which even led to a stark increase in TV tourism in France.
The sixth season, which sees the return of key cast members including Lily Collins, Ashley Park, Lucas Bravo, Lucien Laviscount, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, and Andrew Fleming, will embark on yet another series of adventures. During a special panel at PaleyFest in Los Angeles on 10 April 2026, Netflix announced the production of the next season, to be scheduled to run from 11 May to 30 September 2026. According to ‘Emily in Paris’ creator Darren Star, that includes filming locations in Greece and Monaco.
At the moment of writing, little is known about the plot of the sixth season other than those two locations and the start of the filming process. However, those who have watched the fifth instalment of ‘Emily in Paris’ will know that Emily’s on-again, off-again lover Gabriel (played by Lucas Bravo) sent Emily a postcard in the season finale, inviting her on a Greek getaway. The fact that the sixth season will be partially filmed in Greece may thus point towards a new romantic adventure between the two.
Where exactly will the series be filmed in Greece? Will Monaco’s Formula 1 and casino culture be part of the plot? And when should locals expect to run into the cast members during their daily outings? The internet is speculating about the specifics, but neither Netflix nor the actors have so far unveiled any other details.
Tourism-boosting cinema
However, chances are that tourism in both Monaco and Greece will experience a boost once the new season hits Netflix. Set-jetting, a trend causing travellers to plan trips around destinations they’ve seen on their favourite TV shows or movies, has become increasingly popular in recent years. According to a study by the French National Centre of Cinema (CNC), in 2023, more than half of the international tourists visiting France were convinced to do so by a series or movie, and The White Lotus has notoriously caused a spike in tourism with every new filming location.
