<h2><br>What have the makers said about season 6?</h2><p><br>Emily is staying in Europe. Speaking about season 6, series creator Darren Star said that he has already started dreaming about what could come next.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>''There’s a lot of places I’d love to visit. But I think the show organically [follows] the storyline,” Star said at a press conference in December. “The show is Emily in Paris. It’s never going to permanently leave its home base. But if I can take the audience on a journey somewhere else, I would love that … &nbsp;[It’s] fun to think about,” Star said.</p><h2>What happens in season 5?</h2><p>The 10-episode fifth season has Emily in Rome, where she is handling the new firm of her marketing company, Grateau. While managing her job, she is also in a relationship with luxury fashion heir Marcello Muratori (Eugenio Franceschini). However, it’s Emily’s life, and things are complicated, unsurprisingly.</p><h2>What can audiences expect from season 6?</h2><p>At the end of the latest season, Emily’s ex, Gabriel, invites her to join him on a vacation to Greece. What does this mean? Are Emily and Gabriel getting back together, or will season 6 revolve around the unresolved feelings between the former lovers?</p>

Emily in Paris revolves around fun-loving and fashion-forward Emily, an American who's now living in Paris, where she's made friends, found new successes, and fallen in love multiple times.

Emily is back in Paris and will be back in our lives again. After her temporary romantic getaway to Rome, Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) has returned to Paris and is single once more. A few weeks after season 5 premiered, Netflix announced that the show had been renewed for season 6. In season 5, a lot happened with Emily. She not only had a fun time with her Rome crush, Marcello, but things didn’t end the way many had expected. But it’s Emily’s life, and it had to be complicated. Emily in Paris renewed for season 6: It’s been five years since we were introduced to the fashionable world of American Emily, and the show has kept audiences hooked with her breakups, hookups, and struggles at work. After five years of her whirlwind life, Emily will return for season 6. On January 6, the streamer announced the big news with a short clip featuring Lily Collins. In the announcement post, Netflix wrote, "Home sweet home EMILY IN PARIS is returning for season 6!

<p>It has been a few days since fans across the world bid an emotional farewell to Stranger Things. Now, Netflix is giving fans a chance to relive the eventful final season, with a new documentary that goes behind the scenes of Season 5 production. The teaser of the documentary, which is set for January 12 release, shows the cast huddled to read the final season and getting emotional, with Millie Bobby Brown admitting, 'I'm not ready to let go'. Netflix has announced and released a teaser for One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5.</p><h2>One Last Adventure teaser out</h2><p>The documentary gives fans an insight into the years of work that went into the beloved show's final season. One Last Adventure will be released On Netflix on January 12 and on Monday, the OTT platform shared a glimpse of what one can expect from the teaser.</p><p>The teaser shows several stars getting emotional, including Millie and Noah Schnapp. Millie - who played Eleven throughout the entire run - admits in a voiceover: 'I'm not ready to let go.'</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Speaking about the documentary, series creators Matt and Ross Duffer said, “Growing up in Durham, North Carolina, we dreamed of becoming filmmakers - but Hollywood felt impossibly far away. &nbsp;Everything changed when we watched the behind-the-scenes documentaries for The Lord of the Rings - on-the-ground films that showed the real nuts and bolts of how a massive production actually gets made.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>'We saw how stressed Peter Jackson was and thought: yep, that’s the dream. With the decline of physical media, that kind of behind-the-scenes storytelling has largely disappeared. We wanted to bring it back. One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things Season 5 - beautifully captured and directed by Martina Radwan - is our attempt to do just that. If you love Stranger Things, or if you’re simply curious how a major Hollywood production comes to life, this one’s for you.”&nbsp;</p>

Days after its final episode aired, Netflix is all set to release a documentary on the behind-the-scenes footage of Stranger Things Season 5. The teaser shows the cast huddling together to read the final episode and breaking down. 

It has been a few days since fans across the world bid an emotional farewell to Stranger Things. Now, Netflix is giving fans a chance to relive the eventful final season, with a new documentary that goes behind the scenes of Season 5 production. The teaser of the documentary, which is set for January 12 release, shows the cast huddled to read the final season and getting emotional, with Millie Bobby Brown admitting, 'I'm not ready to let go'. Netflix has announced and released a teaser for One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5. One Last Adventure teaser out The documentary gives fans an insight into the years of work that went into the beloved show's final season. One Last Adventure will be released On Netflix on January 12 and on Monday, the OTT platform shared a glimpse of what one can expect from the teaser. The teaser shows several stars getting emotional, including Millie and Noah Schnapp. Millie - who played Eleven throughout the entire run - admits in a voiceover: 'I'm not ready to let go.' Speaking about the documentary, series creators Matt and Ross Duffer said, “Growing up in Durham, North Carolina, we dreamed of becoming filmmakers - but Hollywood felt impossibly far away. Everything changed when we watched the behind-the-scenes documentaries for The Lord of the Rings - on-the-ground films that showed the real nuts and bolts of how a massive production actually gets made. 'We saw how stressed Peter Jackson was and thought: yep, that’s the dream. With the decline of physical media, that kind of behind-the-scenes storytelling has largely disappeared. We wanted to bring it back. One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things Season 5 - beautifully captured and directed by Martina Radwan - is our attempt to do just that. If you love Stranger Things, or if you’re simply curious how a major Hollywood production comes to life, this one’s for you.”

And now she is also nurturing new talents. The Padmaavat actress will now be providing a platform to aspiring technicians from all the departments, including writing, direction, camera, lighting, editing, sound design, art direction, costume designer, hair stylist, make-up artist, and production.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Deepika announced the new initiative on Instagram and said, “Last year I put out a video about collaborating with all of you. We received some incredible entries, but that also got me thinking and strangely coincided with a phase in my life where I was ready to give back to the very industry that has given me so much. This past year, I've been feeling very strongly about identifying incredible creative talent from across the country and beyond and giving them a platform to be seen, heard and experienced. So here I am with a 2.0 version of Create With Me, and our very first program under Create With Me is the ONSET program, an experiential learning program for technicians across all departments wanting to build a career in Indian film and television."&nbsp;</p>

Deepika Padukone, one of the biggest stars of Bollywood, is celebrating her 40th birthday with a special project. On Monday, as she celebrates her milestone birthday, the actress announced her passion project- The OnSet Program- that will help train next generation of creative talent. Deepika also not just an actress, but also a producer, entrepreneur, and mental health advocate. And now she is also nurturing new talents. The Padmaavat actress will now be providing a platform to aspiring technicians from all the departments, including writing, direction, camera, lighting, editing, sound design, art direction, costume designer, hair stylist, make-up artist, and production. Deepika announced the new initiative on Instagram and said, “Last year I put out a video about collaborating with all of you. We received some incredible entries, but that also got me thinking and strangely coincided with a phase in my life where I was ready to give back to the very industry that has given me so much. This past year, I've been feeling very strongly about identifying incredible creative talent from across the country and beyond and giving them a platform to be seen, heard and experienced. So here I am with a 2.0 version of Create With Me, and our very first program under Create With Me is the ONSET program, an experiential learning program for technicians across all departments wanting to build a career in Indian film and television."
