Emily in Paris final season teaser points to Greece finale, Netflix premiere 24 December

A last season with a final choice

The first teaser for the sixth and final season of Emily in Paris has been released, and Netflix will stream the ten new episodes on 24 December. Lily Collins returns as Emily Cooper, who left Chicago for what began as a temporary work posting in Paris. Collins had announced in May that this season would be the last one. The official synopsis, written by creator Darren Star, says unexpected career clashes and shifting relationships will push Emily to reconsider her future and make one final choice between her career, her heart and the life she has built in Paris. The teaser had reached the press by 11 November.

What the teaser shows

The 97-second trailer moves through the show's history, from Emily's decision to move to Paris to her work, her difficulties, nights out and romances. Much of it is flashback footage from earlier seasons, including Gabriel's relationship with Camille, which Emily begins to notice, a hot air balloon ride with Alfie and a scooter ride with Marcello Muratori. Her boss Sylvie is heard urging Emily to fall in love, make mistakes and make the most of Paris. Mindy Chen, played by Ashley Park, tells Emily that this is no longer just a fun year abroad but her life. The two are shown sharing wine in Paris and agreeing to bid the show farewell in style.

Greece and Mykonos

Greece is set to be the backdrop of the finale, and the teaser previews new footage from Emily and Mindy's trip there. Gabriel had already hinted at the connection at the end of season five, when he sent Emily a postcard from Greece where he had ended up working on a yacht. In the teaser, Emily runs into Gabriel by chance while looking at flowers. Mindy is shown watching Alfie stretch before diving into a pool, with her fiancé Nico standing right behind her. Party scenes on Mykonos round out the Greek footage, and the island is presented as the setting for the closing chapter. The cast and crew came ashore on Mykonos last summer to shoot the finale.

Cast, crew and release

Darren Star is the creator, executive producer and writer. The returning cast for the final season includes Samuel Arnold as Julien, Bruno Gouery as Luc, William Abadie as Antoine Lambert, Mini Driver as Princess Jane and Paul Forman as Nico. Paramount Television Studios, Darren Star Productions and Jax Media produce the series. The show ranks among Netflix's 15 most popular series of all time, having passed 1 billion viewing hours, and it entered the Top 10 in 91 countries, reaching No. 1 in 24 of them, despite frequently mixed reviews. The season is due on Netflix on 24 December, so the premiere is still ahead.
