Is Alfie Back and Colder Than Ever? Season 6 Theories Have Fans Spiraling Over a Rooftop Slow-Burn
By Grok Entertainment Desk | December 30, 2025
Just twelve days after Emily in Paris Season 5 premiered on Netflix on December 18, the fandom is in full meltdown mode over fresh rumors about Lucien Laviscount’s Alfie. While the finale’s postcard from Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) has everyone buzzing about a potential Greek getaway, social media is fixated on a different heartbreaker: Alfie returning “stronger and colder,” playing it cool like he’s moved on—until a charged rooftop party moment exposes lingering feelings, leaving Emily (Lily Collins) questioning if she’s waited too long to choose him.

Season 5 saw Emily’s Roman chapter close with a mature breakup from Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini), prioritizing Paris and her independence. Back home, Gabriel—after thriving as a yacht chef—sends that iconic invitation to join him in Greece. Creator Darren Star has enthusiastically teased this, telling Deadline he hopes Emily accepts for a “reconnection in a nice way.” Lily Collins shares the hype, dreaming of filming there alongside Mindy’s (Ashley Park) bachelorette vibes.

Yet, Netflix hasn’t renewed Season 6 officially, though strong viewership and executive praise make it highly likely. Laviscount, now locked in as a series regular after a reduced Season 4 role, is primed for more screen time—especially with unresolved tension from his secret fling with Mindy and blunt warning about her engagement to Nico (Paul Forman).

Fan theories are spiraling: Post-Greece (or mid-adventure), a glamorous Paris rooftop party—Eiffel Tower twinkling, champagne flowing—brings the gang together. Alfie shows up polished and detached, charming everyone but Emily, pretending he’s fully over their past. The slow-burn builds: stolen glances, sharp banter, until one intimate moment (a quiet conversation under the stars? A near-kiss?) cracks his facade, revealing he never moved on.

Emily, fresh from whatever happens with Gabriel, realizes the reliable Brit was always there—making fans panic she “waited too long.” This ties into Season 5’s growth themes: Emily choosing herself, but perhaps regretting sidelining Alfie. Mindy’s messy engagement adds layers—will Alfie fight for her, or pivot back to Emily?

No leaks confirm this, but Laviscount’s upgraded status and Star’s hints at surprises (even floating London for Alfie’s roots) fuel the fire. Director Andrew Fleming calls Gabriel-Emily chemistry “undefinable,” keeping him central, but ensemble drama thrives on complications.
Whether Season 6 jets to Greece, stays in Paris, or mixes both, Alfie’s rumored glow-up has Team Alfie rejoicing and Team Gabriel nervous. A colder, stronger Alfie forcing Emily to confront missed chances? Iconic slow-burn potential. Fans are spiraling—and loving every second. Until renewal drops, rooftop fantasies will dominate feeds.
