Less than three weeks after the fifth season of hit Netflix series Emily in Paris debuted, the show's future has now been confirmed, with Lily Collins and the rest of the cast set to return for season 6.

The new was announced with a short video, which sees Collins walking towards a phone camera, before a zoom out reveals it is on a tripod behind a croissant. That croissant has a number six candle sticking out of it.
Fans will no doubt be delighted that the series is returning, not least because it will have a lot of cliffhangers to pick up on from the end of season 5.
The show's most recent finale, saw Emily break up with Marcello, before receiving a postcard from Gabriel asking her to join him in Greece. Whether she takes him up on the offer, and the show moves to Greece for season 6, remains to be seen.

Collins said in an interview with Deadline: "The thing that’s interesting about [Season 5] is, instead of it being open-ended for Emily, Emily is cool. She is fine. She is actually more concerned at work with what Princess Jane is bringing to the table.
"She’s great with how she handled things with Gabriel and Marcello. It’s Gabriel that’s unsure, and I love that there’s a shift there."
Other cliffhangers saw Ashley Park's Mindy get engaged to Nico, despite her feelings for Alfie, and the continuing financial troubles of Agence Grateau.
