Take out your tissues and prepare to weep… of joy. After six years of low-stakes drama, clichés about French people and questionable costume choices, Emily in Paris will end with its sixth season.

To quote the iconic Dionne Warwick, it appears that, finally, “that work visa expired.”

The show’s final series, which is currently filming, is expected to take Emily to Greece and Monaco.

As a die-hard hate-watcher, I am happily welcoming the departure of our favourite overachieving, people-pleasing, slightly annoying marketing executive.

Emily Cooper (played by Lily Collins) appeared on our screens in October 2020, at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. When we first met her, she had just left her native Chicago for Paris, where she was to bring an American point of view to a French marketing firm.
