Bonjour! It seems Emily is trading her beret for a yacht hat in Emily in Paris season 6. While the show's heart remains in the City of Light, the sixth season is officially taking the "American Abroad" concept to new shores. Here's why season 6 strays Emily from her Paris dream and why it matters in the series, according to the show creator.
Why is Emily in Paris Season 6 Not in Paris At All?

Don't worry—the title isn't changing to Emily in Mykonos just yet, but Paris is most likely taking a back seat for a few key reasons in season 6.
Emily in Paris season 5, which was released in 2025, ended with Emily receiving a postcard telling her to meet Gabriel in Greece, serving as a tease for the next location she would head to after Rome and Venice. The recent announcement pretty much confirmed that season 6 will be set in Greece and Monaco.
Show creator Darren Star clarified that this doesn't mean season 6 will be abandoning the original premise. Instead, this is the show's plan to "stay ahead of the audience and take them to unexpected places" and prove "the show has the ability to have a bigger footprint."
As for the location change in season 6, Star admits that Greece is the place to be when people plan vacations: "So, it's great to see Emily go on vacation, have a vacation in Greece. Monaco is kind of like a surprising part of the story, but it's beautiful." Star added that it's "almost France" and admired how it's "such a glamorous spot" for the story.
Why Emily Straying From Paris Makes Sense for Season 6
The whole premise of Emily in Paris, which debuted in 2020 on Netflix, revolved around Paris (and other locations in France). However, the two most recent seasons strayed from the original story by having Emily travel to Italy to see her love interest, Marcello.
After the season 4 finale ended, and Emily had become Agence Grateau's Rome office, season 5 focused on her life in Rome, with Gabriel causing more drama than romance.
When the Rome office didn't work out for her, Emily moved back to Paris, broke up with Marcello after his proposal, and ended up with Gabriel, who swooped in to hint at her next location: Greece, where she is set to visit and unfold a new story with Gabriel.
Production on Emily in Paris season 6 is underway in May, with no official release date confirmed for its return to Netflix.
