From the very beginning, the success of Emily in Paris was deeply tied to its vivid connection with some of Europe’s most iconic destinations. From the charming streets of Paris to the romantic atmosphere of Rome introduced in recent storylines, the series consistently used geography as a central storytelling device. Now, as the show prepares to close its final chapter, Greece steps into the spotlight — not merely as a backdrop, but as a defining setting for the story’s conclusion.
News that Season 6 will also mark the end of the hit series was confirmed in the most direct way possible: by Lily Collins herself. Posting from Mykonos, the actress revealed that Emily’s journey is coming to an end, while also offering fans a glimpse into the spirit of the final season.
“We’re back for one last time,” Collins wrote. “Emily in Paris is traveling to Greece — and of course France — for one final epic adventure. Let’s make this season our most special and unforgettable yet.”

The choice of Greece is far from accidental, nor is it simply a picturesque tourist postcard. The groundwork had already been laid in the Season 5 finale, when Gabriel invited Emily to Greece, clearly signaling a new direction for the narrative.
Filming, currently underway on the “Island of the Winds,” has already generated strong local and international interest. Production crews have selected several of Mykonos’ most recognizable locations — including Panormos, Agios Sostis, and the narrow streets of Matogiannia — blending the island’s cosmopolitan energy with its more authentic character. Reports suggest the shoot is operating under strict organization and confidentiality measures, as expected from a production of this scale.
Adding further interest is the inclusion of Greek talent in the cast. Models and personalities Evelyn Kazantzoglou and Nafsika Panagiotakopoulou are joining the production, strengthening the series’ connection to the local element.
The decision to place Greece at the center of the show’s finale reflects a broader trend among international productions seeking destinations with strong visual identity and emotional resonance. Mykonos, with its unmistakable cosmopolitan flair, and Santorini — the next stop for filming — offer exactly that: a cinematic blend of luxury, romance, and global recognition.
While many successful series have turned to iconic destinations to elevate their storytelling, in this case the stakes feel even higher: this is not just another season, but the closing act of one of Netflix’s most recognizable global hits.
