Five Netflix shows to binge if you loved ‘Emily in Paris’
So Emily in Paris just gave you the most extra season yet, and you didn’t even realise when it turned from a cute little marketing gig to Emily emotionally combusting in couture? Everything fell apart… and not really at the same time. We saw her blowing up her job, crying on the stairs, and still ending up holding champagne and looking unbothered. But isn’t that what Emily in Paris has been all about since the beginning?
And even with the meltdown and the awkward party scenes, it still felt safe. You know everything’s going to be good or at least satisfying, so you can binge with one eye open. We have all been a part of Emily’s romantic rollercoaster, but that’s because we know that there isn’t a heartbreak you can’t bounce back from. That’s what makes it a comfort show: not the plot, but the promise that it won’t ruin your day.
And now it’s confirmed. Emily in Paris is returning for season six, which means more outfits and more bad decisions. But until then, the withdrawal is real.
So while Emily figures out what country she wants to live in next, here are five Netflix shows that project the same energy. Career mess. Love problems. Stylish disasters. Five shows to fill the Eiffel-Tower-shaped hole in your watchlist.
Five Netflix shows to binge if you loved ‘Emily in Paris’
The Bold Type (2017-2021)
You already know what this one is serving the minute they walk into the Scarlet office. Bold headlines with those high heels and creating and solving problems that start out small before swallowing entire lives. It follows three best friends working at a women’s magazine in New York, and if Emily ever needed advice on how to ruin a relationship professionally, Jane, Kat, and Sutton would have her covered in under five minutes.
What makes it hit the same as Emily in Paris is the pacing of the show because, just like Emily, one second these girls are bonding over outfits, and the next they are surrounded by love and career problems. And through all of that, they never drop the energy. It has enough mess to keep you invested without making you want to scream.
Younger (2015-2021)
If Emily’s lies ever gave you secondhand stress, meet Liza Miller, a 40-year-old pretending to be 26 to land a job in publishing. And it works. Suddenly, she is deep in Gen Z office life, dating a hot tattooed guy who has no clue, and keeping her entire double life from exploding like a rogue tweet. The tension builds fast, but it never gets heavy. She lies, and she thrives, and the show just keeps it moving.
It’s got the same vibe of making you wonder how she is employed, the same one that Emily pulls off. You get the outfits, the romance, the ambition, and the consequences never fully stick. Plus, there is something soothing about watching adults make the worst decisions imaginable and still end up in a cab, looking fabulous. And isn’t that most of Emily in Paris?
Too Much (2025)
This one is for everyone who watched Emily in Paris and wondered about Emily spiralling instead of pulling it off every time. Too Much is the messier, louder version of a fresh start. It follows a British woman who ditches everything after a breakup and crash-lands in New York, only to get tangled up with a music producer who is hot, mysterious, and a terrible, terrible idea. There is romance and no safety net.
It still has the big-city sparkle and unexpected connection, but the emotions hit harder. People break down, and regret shows up just like in Emily in Paris. Where Emily charms her way through disaster, this lead walks straight into it and calls it art. But it works. If you wanted Emily in Paris with the volume turned up and the filters turned off, Too Much is your answer.
Geek Girl (2024-)
Harriet Manners is not Emily. Not even remotely close. This woman is too awkward and totally allergic to attention, unlike Emily. Luckily, she gets scouted by a modelling agency while trying to hide in a school hallway. Geek Girl throws her into a high-fashion world she has zero tools for, and surprisingly, she survives it. The drama is there, and so is the runway tension, which is real, but everything is filtered through fun and a completely offbeat perspective.
And don’t think that this show is all about being fabulous. Think of it as something like fake it till you make it. Just like Emily walks into marketing meetings armed with vibes and vibes alone, Harriet stumbles her way through this new life without pretending she belongs. And that’s the charm of it.
XO, Kitty (2023-)
This show is a spinoff of the famous To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before movies, and this time, it’s about Lara Jean’s sister, Kitty Song Covey, who isn’t trying to find herself. She already thinks she knows exactly who she is, until Seoul. Until the boyfriend gets weirdly distant. Until the dorm drama, the culture shock, and the part where she stops being the main character in her own love story. XO, Kitty sends her spinning, and it’s the best decision the story has ever made. Suddenly, the girl who gave love advice is the one falling apart in public.
And in all this, Kitty crashes and questions everything. But she keeps pushing forward, not with the confidence of Emily, but with the same kind of hope. And like Emily in Paris, this one knows how to keep things glossy even when hearts are breaking.
