Lily Collins filmed scenes in Paris on Monday for the final season of the Netflix comedy series Emily In Paris. The 37-year-old actress was joined on set by co-star Ashley Park, 35, who portrays Mindy Chen in the show.
The pair filmed scenes on a bench, with Collins wearing a vibrant patterned minidress accessorised with a studded handbag and a green coat. Park wore a sheer black corset paired with black and white lace-up heels.
Production for the final installment began in mid-May in Greece. After wrapping production in Greece, the cast and crew flew to Monaco before returning to Paris.
Final season announcement and cast video
The cast members are bidding farewell to their characters after six years on the project, which first premiered in October 2020. Streaming platform Netflix announced earlier this year that the sixth season of the romantic comedy-drama will be its last.
In a behind-the-scenes video, Collins confirmed the series is ending. "Hey, it's Lily. I just wanted to share something with you all. After six unforgettable years of playing Emily Cooper, I'm here to share that this upcoming sixth season will be our final," Collins said.
"Season six will bring you everything you love about the show and serve as the final chapter in Emily's adventure of a lifetime," Collins added. "Our entire cast and crew are pouring our hearts into making this a fantastic farewell season, which we're now filming. I can't wait for all of the magic ahead, and to celebrate our final season with you in the most chic way yet. We're so incredibly grateful and we love you all. À bientôt!"
Storyline details and creator comments
The upcoming series picks up where series five left off, with Emily receiving a postcard from her on-again, off-again love Gabriel, played by Lucas Bravo. Gabriel left for Greece to work as a chef on a billionaire's yacht, but sends Emily a handwritten postcard inviting her to meet him in Greece after learning she is single again.
Back in France, Sylvie and the team navigate new, chaotic challenges alongside Princess Jane, who is shaking things up at the agency.
Creator Darren Star expressed his gratitude for the team and viewers. "Making Emily in Paris with this extraordinary cast and crew has been the trip of a lifetime," Star said. "As we embark on the final season, I am so grateful to Netflix, Paramount, and, most importantly, the fans who have taken this incredible journey with us."
"We can’t wait to share this last chapter with you," Star added. "Thank you for letting us be a part of your lives, inspiring your dreams of travel and your love of Paris. We will always have ‘Emily in Paris!'"
Netflix has not revealed an official release date for the upcoming series, but Emily In Paris is predicted to air later this year.
