Minnie Driver’s crash prompts ‘Emily in Paris’ season 6 schedule shuffle

Production on the final season of Emily in Paris didn’t grind to a halt after Minnie Driver was hurt in a car crash while off the clock in rural France. The Netflix comedy quietly moved a single scene that involved her and kept cameras rolling, aligning the shuffle with a break she already had on the calendar.

Driver told fans about the accident from bed in a neck brace, saying the shock left her in tears but thankful to be OK. She credited the electric car she was riding in with helping her walk away from the wreck.

“I got into a really bad car accident a few days ago,” she said in an Instagram video, adding that it happened while she was “driving on a country road in the middle of France.”

The actress was not scheduled to work when it happened, and the production expects her back once she’s fully recovered. Aside from rescheduling that one scene, the show has stuck to its plan, bouncing between European backdrops without major disruption.

The road to the finale

Lily Collins has already confirmed Season 6 will be the show’s last, sharing the news in an emotional video thanking viewers for sticking with Emily Cooper since 2020. Creator Darren Star praised the cast and crew as they steer the series to its send-off, promising a close that hits the notes fans love.

Filming for the finale has been a movable feast, with the production changing cities as the storyline demands. Since its debut, the series has topped charts in 90 countries, and the final run is leaning into the getaway vibes that helped make it a hit.
